  "summary": "In a recent incident, a 22-year-old female university student in Thailand was scammed out of over 1.78 million Baht by a call scam gang. The operation was orchestrated by the Anti-Online Scam Centre (ACSC) with the assistance of the Police Cyber Taskforce. The scam began when the woman received a call from someone claiming to be a police officer, who told her about a bank account related to a money-laundering case. The scammers then convinced her to transfer 1 million Baht to a designated account, claiming it was a verification process. Over the following days, she was tricked into making a total of six transfers amounting to more than 1.78 million Baht. The woman was eventually rescued by the ACSC and the Police Cyber Taskforce at a hotel room in Pathum Thani.",
