Don’t fall for it! Scam alert – Fake charity collector arrested on Pattaya Beach. PATTAYA, Thailand – A man pretending to be an officer from the so-called “Moral Protection Foundation” was caught soliciting donations along Pattaya Beach. The Director of the Pattaya City Administrative Division, together with municipal officers, responded quickly to public complaints and launched an inspection at the scene. The suspect was found collecting money under false pretenses and was immediately reported to Pattaya City Police, who took him into custody for legal proceedings. Locals have shared their concerns, warning others about similar scams: “It’s always safer to donate directly at the foundation office — never give to random people on the street.” “I see this all the time. Some even wear uniforms pretending to be from government departments, collecting for police or border patrol support.” “No real charity sends people to walk around asking for money. They have proper offices and donation channels.” “These are thieves dressed as saints. Authorities should crack down hard to make an example.” Vendors along the beach reported that these individuals often dress neatly, present envelopes, and politely ask for donations — but never provide credible proof of affiliation with any real foundation. Public Warning: Do not give money to street solicitors claiming to represent charities. Donate only through verified channels or directly at foundation offices. If you encounter suspicious activity, report it immediately to municipal officers or local police. Please share to protect others from being scammed. Scam alert: Man arrested for impersonating charity staff and soliciting money. Don’t be fooled. Protect yourself and others — report suspicious fundraisers and share this warning widely.
