Bank Ordered to Pay Beauty Queen One Million Baht Over Scam Transfers

Thailand’s Civil Court ordered a bank to compensate beauty queen Charlotte Austin after finding that it shared responsibility for transactions connected to a call centre scam. The Thai-British Miss Grand Thailand 2022 finalist lost four million baht to criminals who impersonated police officers and claimed her name was linked to an illegal bank account. The scammers kept her on a video call for roughly 24 hours, controlled her communications and persuaded her to transfer money into mule accounts for supposed verification. Four members of the network received lengthy prison sentences and were ordered to repay the stolen sum with interest. The court found negligence on both Charlotte’s and the bank’s part, awarding her one million baht plus interest and 20,000 baht towards legal expenses.
