A 44 year old woman was arrested by the cybercrime division of the Thai Police today for her alleged involvement in a fraud operation that lost victims over 1 million baht. The operation comprised a gang operating call centres, which conned their victims into revealing sensitive banking information. The call centres duped victims by pretending to be bank employees or police officers.

 

The scammers would contact unsuspecting victims, posing as employees from various banks. They would then inform victims that their personal information was being abused to open and use credit cards, which had impending payments. To report the cybercrime incident, the scammers instructed victims to report the situation online. Once online, the victims were connected to the fraudsters posing as police officers from the Mueang Buriram Police Station.

 

Following this, the gang instructed the victims to add a contact named “Mueang Buriram Police Station” on a messaging app, Line. They then facilitated conversations between the victim and the individual posing as the Director of Mueang Chiang Rai Police Station. This successfully tricked the victims into believing that the situation was indeed legitimate, reported KhaoSod.

Quite the scam, I can see why those who are let's say a tad worried about dealings with authority might have fallen for this elaborate hoax.
