The police alleged that Thai, taking advantage of rising gold prices, sold fake bullion to many customers.

She also used the fake bars, along with gold-plated bonsai trees, as collaterals to gain the trust of customers and raise money from them.

The police said people who bought gold from her and suspect it to be fake should come forward within this month and report to them.
