Nice to see proactive bank security working with law enforcement. Credit card companies share this information with law enforcement and banks but one always wonders if the Thai banks are actively pursuing card fraud. Were these guys nailed as a result of a dedicated 24/7 screening for fraudulent transactions or was it just because someone at SCB happened to see one of what must be many red flags and chose to action it?

^^^^

It tends to work both ways in that police get ATM and Credit Card scam reports and banks use them for back tracking while conversely banks get complaints and then ask for those to be reported to police as standard practice.

In many cases it is worth the banks being pro-active in that it can cost them money when proven to be their negligence or a case involving terms of agreement with card holders re: reimbursement for such things.

The photo is a bit dark on my computer!

When I first looked I saw the three guys standing up and no one else.

I wondered why one guy was in a police uniform.

Anyhow ya get that stuff when you get old.

Thread is still young.

Interesting that they are not described as Falangs. Is that because they are Asian?
