Prescription (hope the word is the right one) of a scam

[Mika78]

If I am the victim of a financial scam (around 200,000 thb), after how many years does the crime expire under Thai law? For example, if I'm not mistaken, in my country the crime of fraud expires after 10 years.

It may be as little as three months unless you report it to to the police

 

From the date you discovered the fraud.

I reported it back on 2021: so now there is no possibility to, maybe, get the money back? Thank you.

You need to report it within 3 months of discovering the crime.

 

Once it's reported it's a whole different story, three years is the limit at that point I believe - so assuming you reported it when you found it there's still plenty of time left.

 

Good luck with that though

People get lawyers to pursue it, a friend of mine is a lawyer she often does fraud type investigations, often when family / girlfriend / wife are the perpetrators.

 

You can't rely on the police following up, probably doing nothing

Did you bring a sick buffalo back from the brink of death, or was it a guy at the bank selling you Thai securities with returns that were too good to be true ?
