PHUKET: A woman who deceived 17 Phuket people into investing in a cosmetic face cream business is now wanted by police over a missing seven million baht.
The investors went to Phuket City Police Station yesterday to seek action and to tell police how Khun Netwimon - only her first name was mentioned - invited everybody to invest.
One of the group, Chotticha Jampatong, 32, said the investors were encouraged by what Khun Netwimon said were initial successes to put in more money.
The face cream sold for 1400 baht and 250 baht of that was profit, according to Khun Netwimon.
Most of the investors upped their ante to 400,000 baht or 500,000 baht on the strength of the early success. And then Khun Netwimon just vanished.
