On March 29, Thai officials reported the taking down of a huge Chinese call center gang in Nakhon Si Thammarat province, which had been illegally established to defraud Thais and Chinese citizens. Officers arrested 90 people and seized computers and other devices.
Pol. Lt. Gen. Thatchai Pitanilabutr, assistant police commander, stated at a press conference at Chawang Police Station in Nakhon Si Thammarat Province that since the investigation began at the end of 2023, this operation has been carried out in coordination with 100 officials, including cyber police, DSI officers, detective police, police region 8, immigration police, and NBTC officials. They have been dispatched to seek out four targets in Nakhon Si Thammarat province.
At the time, officials discovered a large network of Chinese people forming a call centre gang in Chawang District to defraud and steal property from fellow Chinese, Japanese, Russians, and Thais through a variety of scams, including inviting them to invest in digital currencies, online gambling, tricking people into buying products by creating pages, and using various tricks to lure victims to transfer money. The officials then conducted a thorough investigation and collected evidence.
Then, on March 28, 2024, officials obtained a search warrant from the Criminal Court and conducted a simultaneous search operation at four locations, discovering both Thai and Chinese citizens working there.
