Police probe scam gang after former Miss Grand official's suicide
Pichsuthang Khaiseangthong (Aum), a former Provincial Director of Miss Grand Khon Kaen 2024 and a well-known makeup artist for several beauty pageants, tragically took her own life after falling victim to a scam call centre that tricked her into transferring money for a fake investment. The incident began on July 6, when Aum filed a complaint with investigators at Kamphaeng Saen Police Station in Nakhon Pathom province, reporting that a scammer had impersonated a Facebook account and persuaded her to invest in a fake scheme. She lost approximately 50,000 baht in total. On July 10, Aum was found dead, with early reports suggesting stress and emotional distress from the incident as the likely cause. As of July 13, the Cyber Police Division announced they are now coordinating with relevant authorities to gather evidence and track down the perpetrators. Authorities believe this is part of a larger call center scam network that targets victims with fake investment offers. Police are reviewing the case details further and will continue efforts to identify and apprehend those responsible.
