A 50-year-old Thai woman, Laksamee, was arrested in Bangkok for her involvement in a call centre scam and money laundering scheme. Her capture follows her release from a foreign prison after serving time for similar crimes. The arrest, made in Prawet, came as a result of a Criminal Court warrant issued in June 2018.

 

Laksamee was part of a criminal organisation, deceiving victims through impersonation and ruses. One victim was conned out of 120,000 baht after being tricked into believing they were implicated in serious crimes. Posing as law enforcement, the gang managed to defraud Laksamee’s phone and bank app, funneling finances for the scheme.


The operation was cracked after combined efforts from Malaysian and Thai authorities led to a raid near the Thai border. Laksamee, reportedly lured into the crime ring in Malaysia, earned minimal wages whilst being manipulated by a Taiwanese ringleader. Despite denying direct involvement in the 120,000 baht fraud, she acknowledges her actions and now faces the consequences in Thailand.

 

Expressing deep remorse, Laksamee advises others to avoid her fate, highlighting the heavy personal cost of crime.
