Actress Files Cybercrime Report Over Impersonation Scam

At 2:30 p.m. on September 4, 2025, actress Pon Sananttachat and her lawyer Thanvat Limsingkash visited Sirivat Deepho, commander of the Technology Crime Investigation Division 1 at the Ratchadamnoen Government Center, to file a report. An unknown person using the alias "Min" had contacted Pon claiming to work for the National Police Commissioner and saying a senior official was interested in employing her. Pon believes this is a new scam tactic used by online fraudsters.

Thanvat stated that they came to submit facts to police after reports emerged of someone impersonating the actress on Line to discuss senior officials and high-ranking civil servants. He said they are confident this is the work of online scammers or criminals attempting to damage Pon's reputation and that of the National Police Office.

Pon explained that an unknown person using the pseudonym "Min" initially contacted her, claiming to work for the National Police Commissioner with a senior official interested in her. She immediately declined and did not engage further, believing it to be a scam. She then posted screenshots on her Facebook page to warn the public about technology-related crimes. She stated she never responded to the person and has had no further contact, noting that reporters had only contacted her manager for clarification.

Pon added that the incident caused concern that she might be associated with inappropriate work, potentially damaging her reputation built over more than a decade in entertainment. She also noted that afterwards, her image was found to have been doctored and paired with the police commissioner, causing damage to both parties.

Commander Sirivat thanked the actress and her lawyer for providing important evidence and said cybercrime investigators would urgently trace the Line account owner. He warned the public that scammers commonly impersonate senior officials and high-ranking government officials to establish credibility before proceeding with various fraud schemes, citing similar cases where fraudsters posed as provincial governors to borrow money.

The National Police Office has not issued special orders yet, as the incident is recent and authorities must still determine the perpetrator's true intent. Police will expedite tracking down the offender to pursue legal action.
