Female students from a famous university were scammed by a call center gang, 20 cases in total.

Chiang Mai, Warning about a call center gang that has scammed 20 female students from a famous university in the past week. One of them was scammed and lost 4 million baht. Today, Pol. Maj. Gen. Weerachon Boonthawi, Deputy Commander of Provincial Police Region 5, warned the media after 20 female students from a famous university in Chiang Mai Province fell victim to a call center gang within just one week. One of the victims was deceived by a criminal who pretended to be a police officer and called to inform her that her phone number was involved in illegal business. He then threatened her and made her afraid, asking about the money in her account and every way that money was available. The victim had a Government Savings Bank lottery ticket but her parents kept the ticket. The criminal advised her to report the lottery ticket as lost and to withdraw the money. He told her to transfer the money 8 times within 4 days, causing the victim to lose more than 4 million baht. In addition, a student from the same i nstitute lost more than 2 million baht, but this case is not related to the case of the police lieutenant colonel involved in the call center in any way. The scam is just similar. We would like to remind you that if someone calls claiming to be a government official, regardless of which agency they are from, do not believe them. You must consult with an adult first or notify the police. The hotline number to report information about the call center gang is 1441. In the past year, Chiang Mai Province has had almost 20,000 online cases. We would like to remind the public not to panic, to stay calm when strange people call, and to notify the authorities immediately. Source: Thai News Agency
