Prevent Fraudulent Funds Circulation: Thai Police Seal off Thai-Cambodian Border Passage

Published at Feb 01, 2025 10:45 pm
The Thai police recently sealed off a border passageway leading from Thailand to neighboring Cambodia and intensified patrols in the area in hopes of blocking channels for the circulation of funds by fraudsters.

Recently, there has been a frequent occurrence of news about people being deceived into going to Thailand and then being trafficked to scam parks in Myanmar. This has focused public attention on Thailand. Scam parks not only exist in Myanmar but also in Cambodia, a neighboring country of Thailand. Due to its geographical advantage, Thailand has become a transit or fund transfer center for fraud syndicates.

According to a report from the Central News Agency, Thairath reported that Teerachai, the Chief Investigator of Division 2 of the Royal Thai Police, pointed out that members of fraud syndicates would first open dummy accounts in Thai banks before crossing the border to the fraud syndicate headquarters located in Cambodia.

Teerachai stated that due to the Thai central bank's regulation requiring face scans for transactions exceeding 50,000 Thai Baht (6,596 ringgits), fraud syndicate offices in Cambodia are equipped with facial scanners. Therefore, members of these fraud syndicates who set up dummy accounts must go to Cambodia to scan their faces to complete the transaction.

Teerachai mentioned that the Thai police recently sealed off a passageway in Sa Kaeo Province at a location next to a shopping mall leading to Cambodia, making it impossible for these individuals to complete transactions. The police also intensified patrols in the area to prevent any illegal border crossings.
