Two suspects have been detained by hacking authorities who are connected to a group that tricked foreigners into opening pony bank accounts, which were later sold to con artists. The records facilitated over 3 billion ringgit in fraudulent purchases.
The organization’s strategy was to bribe foreigners into opening balances at different banks while doing so legitimately in Thailand. These records were then sold to swindlers, including those running gambling sites.
The Save Foreign Workers operation was made public by the Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau (CCIB ) on Thursday. Over 50 international employees were deceived into opening the animal accounts, which had more than 3 billion ringgit in circulation, according to the analysis. Over 100 transactions have already been closed.
Authorities conducted attacks at eight spots in Pathum Thani, Ayutthaya, Nonthaburi and Nakhon Pathom. One think fled and was still being sought after another member of the group, while the other two were taken into custody.
Companies and foreign workers should be aware of these scams, according to authorities.
