Pattaya police have arrested three individuals following a raid on a suspected scam operation targeting previous fraud victims. The suspects allegedly impersonated cybercrime officers and promised to recover lost money. Police seized electronic devices and documents during the search in Chon Buri. The three suspects confessed during questioning, stating they previously worked in a call-centre scam operation in Cambodia before moving to Thailand.
They used mobile phones to contact victims across the country and sent QR codes for them to scan. Police are investigating the QR codes and tracing financial transactions related to the scheme. They are also tracing the money trail and investigating possible links to other individuals or networks. Police warn the public to be cautious of unsolicited offers to recover lost funds from supposed government officials and to verify such claims through official channels.
