Shock: Yet another global warming "solution" was actually just a scam

Bangkok Post : Farmers hear of tree-planting scam

The farmers were told the department had initiated a rubber tree-planting scheme to reduce global warming and the agency would pay each rubber-growing family 100,000 baht in assistance money to plant as many as 1,500 rubber trees. It was not clear where the farmers were asked to grow the rubber seedlings.

The victims were asked to hand over 500 baht to open a bank account and then deposit 30,000 baht into it to cover what the gang claimed to be ‘’operating costs’’.
