The arrests were made in a house in the beach resort town of Pattaya and according to the Thai police this is the first known case of a scam ring targeting investors in Japan to be revealed in Thailand.

The investigation started after rumors began circulating Pattaya of a Japanese gang running a scam operation in town.
