In Bangkok and two other regions, three people have been detained individually for opening animal accounts for fraud groups.
Officers from the Economic Crime Suppression Division (ECSD ) arrested the three suspects — two people and one person — , as part of an pro- online scam operation, the Central Investigation Bureau, which oversees the department, said on Thursday.
In Bangkok, a believe identified only as Parinthorn, 19, was apprehended in front of an apartment building in Lat Phrao Wang Hin Soi 67 in Lat Phrao area. On May 9, the Chiang Mai Juvenile and Family Court issued an arrest warrant for his involvement in a scheme to defraud and enter phony information into a computer program.
Police claimed the suspect had opened a bank account to obtain money transfers from victims worth about one million baht, making him a member of a call center scam group.
Parinthorn testified during questioning that he had been hired by a friend for 1,000 baht to start the bill about three years ago when he was just a young man.
The following suspect, identified only as Sulaiman, 43, was wanted on an arrest warrant issued by the Chiang Mai Provincial Court on May 8 on the same fees. He was detained at the Samut Sakhon Muang district’s Tha Chin Union jetty.
According to the authorities, Mr. Sulaiman allegedly opened a bank account that accepted money from victims of scams perpetrated by scammer-dealers.
He claimed to have given his profile to a neighbor in his community for use, according to police. He claimed that the account’s opening had taken place without his permission.
The second suspect, Kanokkarn, was wanted on a permit issued by the Chiang Mai Provincial Court on May 8. She was detained in the Ayutthaya district’s Wang Noi items supply center.
The CIB advised citizens against opening horse accounts because they could face a maximum sentence of three years in prison and/or a fine of up to 300,000 baht.
