Fraud Calling
Chinese and Taiwanese organized crime is operating call centre scams throughout Southeast Asia including Thailand.
“A call centre set up in Thailand makes random calls to victims in Taiwan, Korea, China, Singapore and Malaysia using the Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) system,” Pol Maj Gen Panya stated to reporters.
The victims are told that the caller represents the local government and demands back payments of fines and taxes. The victims then go to ATMS and transfer funds to accounts set up by the fraudsters.
Gen Panya stated that the international crime organizations, made up of Chinese, Taiwanese, Korean and Thai members have rented houses and set up fake call centers in Bangkok and also major tourist areas such as Chiang Mai, Phuket and Pattaya.
