This arrest is a result of 'Mean, a fake high-society man', a legend who owns a 100-million-baht car, who used his handsome face as a weapon to deceive women. After being arrested by the Metropolitan Police Bureau's investigation team at the end of 2023, this 'newly released prisoner' has not learned his lesson. Recently, 'Mr. Mean' has changed his deception process to play with the science of numbers and people's b elief that people give importance to the meaning of numbers by becoming a buyer and seller to auction off beautiful license plate numbers and auspicious numbers via an online platform. He will put up beautiful, auspicious, and meaningful license plate numbers for sale, talk to buyers until they trust him, and then deceive them into transferring money as a deposit. When the victims transfer the money, they disappear into thin air. His other exploits include 'borrowing' a car from a close female friend to secretly pawn on the black market. It was found that Mr. Mean had a history of committing more than 9 crimes (and no less than 10 other cases in which the victims did not file a complaint). On July 11, 2015, a theft occurred at night in the Dusit Police Station area. On March 31, 2016, a theft occurred at night in the area of ??Amphawa Police Station, Samut Songkhram Province. On July 23, 2016, a fraud incident occurred in the Min Buri Police Station area. On April 26, 2017, a fraud incident occurred in t he Muang Utaradit Police Station area.

On April 6, 2022, a fraud incident occurred in the Lumpini Police Station area. On January 7, 2023, a theft occurred in the area of ??Min Buri Police Station. The behavior of 'Sia Mean' is to create a social media profile as a 'high society', pretending to take pictures with a luxury car that belongs to someone unknown, or show a lot of money transfer slips, or show off an expensive watch to show off his handsome wealth, and claim to be the owner of a car tent business, a law firm, and many more. Then he will go around chatting up real high society celebrities to enhance his profile, before sweet-talking 'beautiful girls' a nd 'spiritual girls' on social media until the victims believe him and agree to meet him, before being tricked into buying and selling things online. However, most of the victims will be 'borrowed money' and deceived, such as borrowing cars and secretly pawning them on the black market before disappearing. However, some victims who are poor will call and trick them into transferring '21 baht', claiming it is for making merit. Sia Mean has been committing crimes in this manner for many years, with no less than 30 victims and damages of no less than 10,000,000 baht. During the arrest, Sia Min denied all charges and stated that 'I finished Mathayom 6. My life was difficult because my parents separated. I was deluded and made mistakes on my own. I am a good-looking guy who likes to take pictures with luxury cars. I have a good profile online, so many women come to me. So I have many girlfriends, 4-5 of them at the same time. When women come to me, I pretend to be with them in order to borrow money. I once borrow ed the most, a million, to gamble online until it was all gone. This caused problems in my life. I was stressed and had no money. As for the post about selling the license plate, I used to use all the money that the victim transferred to me, so I don't have any money to pay it back. The police took Sia Min to the Bang Phlat Police Station for legal proceedings. Source: Thai News Agency
