The Thai cabinet endorsed a draft executive decree on Tuesday to cope with rising online fraud, targeting individuals who knowingly open a bank account or an e-wallet for use by other people or lend their mobile phone SIM cards to the other people when they know or “should” know that they will be used for illegal activities.

 

These individuals will face a maximum jail term of 3 years and/or a fine of 300,000 baht if convicted.

 

The executive decree also targets individuals who offer for sale bank accounts, electronic cards, e-wallets or SIM cards which they “should” know may be used for illegal activities. They can face 2-5 years in prison and/or a fine of between 200,000-500,000 baht if found guilty.
