noitom Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Great nes. This should give rise to some mighty big Thai busts, money men, and Thai bankers. Koreans don't run a business like this without Thai support and cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaldPlumber Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 What do these call centres actually do? I'm guessing it's not providing timely help and advice for some company's customer base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaywalker Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 What do these call centres actually do? I'm guessing it's not providing timely help and advice for some company's customer base. From the full article... "They told Police that they had been at this location for a matter of days and were preparing to begin their call center, whereby they would call people in South Korea and use various methods to obtain their credit card details. The account information would then allegedly be used for fraudulent purposes." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaphod reborn Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 (edited) So, was this call center involved in online gambling or just another instance of a Thai competitor buying off the police to terminate its competitor?

clockman Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 The military should looking into why criminals come to Thailand? And it is not for the sun or girls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Two Korean related crime news this morning. Whats the ranking? Seems like preferred entry rules attract criminals not tourists. "call center" is a nice description for phone pishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emilymat Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 I find it curious why a Major General needs to lead the raid. It's no wonder the middle ranking officers feel undervalued - I guess. I mean, it's like the Chief Constable of, say, Yorkshire leading a raid in Beverley. Mind you, with over 2000 generals in the country there are enough to go round, particularly if you want a photo op. What a cynic I am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if you are from the USA I suppose it's the same as the top cop in one of your states. (Not sure if you have such a structure). Anyway, it's the top policeman in the UK county, not to be confused with a sheriff in a US county!. Beverley is a very nice small town in Yorkshire.

rainman333 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Why would they come to Thailand to do this, instead of staying in Korea? scam people in the daytime, bar fine girls at night. a scammers dream job? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Why would they come to Thailand to do this, instead of staying in Korea? Make Korean "income" in Thailand. Is it any different of other farangs doing remote working under tropical palms? Much harder to track down than in their home country. Catching them requires transnational police work. Most of the internet/phone gangsters reside in countries which make them hard to catch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
