Phetchabun-
Police in Phetchabun have reported the capture of Mr. Muhammad Amin, 32, of Pakistan in Phetchabun this afternoon who is accused of a short change scheme in multiple shops provinces across Thailand.
Mr. Amin, who was also on overstay, had been using a scam in which he purchased a very small item with a thousand baht note and then confused the shopkeeper or cashier to give him more change then he deserved by sleight of hand and distraction techniques. In some cases police say he managed to immediately return the item, confusing the shopkeepers to give him not only his money back but the entire amount the item was worth.
