BANGKOK (The Nation/Asia News Network): Six people have been arrested by police of Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau (CCIB) which had launched an investigation on the website www.กู้เงินฉุกเฉิน.net (emergency loan) earlier this week, said Pol. Lt. Gen Kornchai Khlaikhleung, CCIB chief on Thursday (Nov 11).
The investigation was sparked by a suicide by gun of a 44-year-old man in Kamphaeng Phet province who was reportedly under depression after losing over 130,000 baht to the loan website, which had promised to grant him a loan, but he had to transfer the loan fee first.
