Cyber Police Arrest Gang Behind Online Loan Scam Targeting Star Footballer
In a significant breakthrough on November 2, Thailand’s Cyber Police have dismantled an online loan scam network that defrauded a renowned national footballer of nearly 2.7 million baht. The arrest followed the orders of Police Major General Jirawat Payungtham and his deputy, Police Major General Atthasit Sudsangwan, who oversaw the investigation. The suspect, identified as 45-year-old Wanchai Sriduang from Nakhon Sawan, was apprehended under a warrant issued by the Thanyaburi Provincial Court. He is charged with multiple counts of fraud and computer-related offenses, including collaborating to deceive the public and disseminating false information through computer systems. The case traces back to December 2, 2023, when the victim, a midfielder for a prominent Thai League club and the national team, sought a loan. During an online search, he stumbled upon a fraudulent website falsely advertising loan services under the name “Ratchaphruek Capital.” After initiating contact via Line, the victim requested a loan of 600,000 baht. The scammers manipulated the situation by presenting themselves as loan officials, prompting the victim to transfer various fees for purported loan processing, which included: • 33,600 baht for loan protection fees • 98,500 baht for AI verification • 208,000 baht for a new CVV code • 550,000 baht for credit top-up In total, the victim transferred funds in 12 transactions, amassing a staggering 2,696,950 baht. The final request demanded a deposit of 1 million baht in the victim’s bank account to verify his identity. Realising he had been scammed, the footballer eventually reported the crime to the Cyber Police. Following the complaint, investigators from the Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau (CCIB) linked Wanchai to the fraudulent scheme, where he allegedly acted as a “money mule.” Police gathered sufficient evidence to secure a court-approved arrest warrant and apprehended him near his residence in Nakhon Sawan. During initial questioning, Wanchai confessed to his involvement in the scam. The Cyber Police have reiterated the importance of caution when seeking financial assistance online and are continuing their efforts to track down other members of the scam network.

Foreign National Rams Pattaya Officer at Checkpoint, Flees into Forest & Sea
UPDATE German National Faces Serious Charges After Hit-and-Run at Pattaya Police Checkpoint A German man is facing four serious charges following a hit-and-run incident at a police alcohol checkpoint in Pattaya, which resulted in severe injuries to a police officer. Despite refusing to provide his name or consent to an alcohol test, officers transported him to the hospital for testing, which confirmed his blood alcohol content exceeded legal limits. Police identified the suspect as 30 year old Christopher, a German national who had rented the motorcycle involved in the incident. CCTV footage from the checkpoint clearly recorded the crash, and this evidence has been submitted to investigators for the legal proceedings against him. Christopher now faces multiple serious charges, including: • Drunk driving and reckless driving causing physical and mental harm to others, as well as property damage. • Failing to assist or notify authorities immediately after the accident and fleeing the scene. • Violating orders from traffic officers under the Land Traffic Act. • Resisting arrest and obstructing officers in their duties. As for the injured officer, doctors at Pattaya City Hospital are monitoring his condition, which includes minor brain bleeding and a small fracture in the posterior nasal cavity. He will remain under observation for 3-4 days, and should his condition not improve, he may be transferred to Chonburi Hospital for further treatment. -- 2024-11-03 -
