Alleged Illegal Employment and Tax Fraud by French Expats
Fraud Caller
Description
I am writing to bring to your attention concerning facts regarding two French nationals, Mr. Stanislas Robert Lemoine and Mr. Thomas Julien Bordage, currently residing in Thailand, who may be involved in activities contrary to Thai law, particularly concerning immigration, labor law, taxation, and business practices.
According to numerous testimonies and evidence gathered, the companies they allegedly manage or control are using methods that could constitute administrative and criminal offenses, including the use of shell companies, the illegal employment of foreign nationals, and tax evasion practices.
The reported facts are as follows:
Illegal Recruitment of Foreign Nationals
French nationals are being recruited through platforms such as JobsDB or expatriate groups, and then employed in Thailand without valid work permits for a so-called “trial” period.
They were reportedly told they could work legally for several weeks under a tourist visa exemption or with a non-immigrant B visa without a work permit, which appears to be contrary to Thai regulations.
In some cases, employees were allegedly asked to extend their tourist stay to continue their work before a possible administrative regularization.
Suspicions of Income Concealment and Tax Evasion
The companies involved reportedly received payments primarily from clients located in France via the PayPal Hong Kong platform.
According to the information gathered, the funds were then transferred to offshore bank accounts and were not fully declared to the relevant tax authorities.
These practices could constitute tax fraud, tax evasion, or money laundering.
Invoicing and VAT
No invoices were issued to clients.
These practices could constitute significant tax irregularities.
Layoffs and Pressure on Employees
Employees who expressed reservations about certain internal practices were reportedly dismissed without notice or severance pay.
In some cases, the immediate cancellation of work permits after dismissal placed foreign employees in a precarious administrative situation, forcing them to leave Thailand quickly.
Threats and Intimidation
Several accounts describe a climate of fear within the company.
Current or former employees who considered reporting these practices were allegedly subjected to extremely serious threats and intimidation.
Business Activities and Customer Complaints
Under the trade names “MAC Assistance” and operating through the umbrella company “ATA Service,” the companies in question offer IT services to a primarily French clientele, posing as Apple support through their websites: mac-assistance.fr and mac-assistance.com, notably via Google Ads campaigns.
Customer calls are handled from Bangkok by employees 7 days a week, starting at 2 PM Thailand time.
Online reviews and testimonials mention abusive and unauthorized billing, as well as deceptive business practices. These companies often impersonate individuals in France, frequently claiming to work from the Boulevard de Décence district in Paris, which is 100% false since they are actually based in Bangkok. There are also numerous testimonials online denouncing unwanted payments in the form of subscriptions.
Companies involved:
• MAC ASSISTANCE CO., LTD.
Legal address: Green Tower, 3656/49-52 Green Tower, Rama 4, Klongton, Khlong Toei, Bangkok 10110, Thailand
Alleged business address: AK Building, 3rd floor, 253/9 Soi Suanplu, S Sathon Rd, Thung Maha Mek, Sathon, Bangkok 10120, Thailand
• MAC ASSISTANCE COMPANY LIMITED (Hong Kong)
• Shell company ATA Service (Bangkok)
Persons involved:
• Mr. Stanislas Robert Lemoine
• Mr. Thomas Julien Bordage
I respectfully request the attention of the relevant authorities so that they may verify these details and, if necessary, take appropriate action in accordance with Thai law.
I remain available to provide any further information that may assist the investigation.
