Violence Suppression Division officials arrested four people of a Thai call-centre fraud group following raids on four areas in Nakhon Pathom and Ayutthaya monday.
According to CSD chief Pol Maj Gen Wittaya Sriprasert, the suspects were apprehended under incarceration subpoenas issued by the Sa Kaeo Provincial Court and charged with defrauding the public by impersonating others.
Those arrested included Narongdet Sisawat, 41, Suthee Jamnaekros, 39, Sangad Puangthong, 64, and Chalermporn Meesompong, 37.
The research followed concerns made late last year by patients who alleged they were tricked into transferring wealth to fraudsters posing as friends. The scammers would say to have been in an accident and needed immediate financial aid. Survivors, fearing for their loved ones, may be persuaded to move money.
Following an investigation, authorities discovered the crew was highly organised, with each part assigned particular functions, including making false calls, opening bank accounts to collect funds, and coordinating the procedure.
Pol Maj Gen Wittaya said Mr Narongdet was the crew chief. He had a legal document involving scams, while the others had been involved in drug-related crimes.
