The person opening the account is the mule, similar to drug mules but in this instance it's money instead of drugs. The illegal types then may pay the mule for opening an account for them using his/her details. Yes. For example, with a mule account the real holder of it can sell things on facebook that don't exist, and get paid into that account. Sell drugs, fake investments, fake car down payments etc. All in the mule's bank name, not theirs. 1

This would seem to be a very difficult crime to spot in the first place. Also, why wouldn't the young man just roll over on his confederates? Or why wouldn't they pay his bail and get him away before he rolls on them? The crime is opening an account for someone else. In Bangkok there are signs all over the BTS stations warning Thai people not to open mule accounts. Same goes for cell phone accounts, since they are trying to crack down on SIM cards used by scammers. 2

You will probably be the one ending up behind bars, if you are that lucky. Agreed 100%.... particularly if you're a foreigner. That was written by someone who clearly has no idea about how things (don't) work in Thailand!

That is exactly what the scammers are expecting. Face your fears and march onwards. 1

BangkokReady Posted September 22, 2024 Posted September 22, 2024 Seems to be more and more Thais scamming Thais these days. Watch out for foreigners, though, eh?
