Woman Arrested At Bangkok Airport In Call Center Fraud Case
A 40-year-old woman was arrested at Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport after returning from Dubai, where she had been evading prosecution for her role in a call center fraud scheme involving a bank account provided to scammers.
Police arrested a 40-year-old woman at Suvarnabhumi Airport on July 9, 2569, as she returned from Dubai where she had been evading arrest in a call center fraud case. Officers led by Lieutenant Colonel Tasaphumi Charupratya, commander of the Police Technology Crime Investigation Bureau, detained the suspect at the international arrivals hall on level 2 of the airport. She was wanted under court warrant number 1396/2567 issued on October 18, 2567, by the Minburi Criminal Court.
The arrest stemmed from the suspect's involvement in providing a bank account to a call center gang. She had fled to Dubai since early 2567 after authorities learned she was returning to Thailand. Police coordinated with the airport immigration division and Kokkram police station to apprehend her upon arrival.
During interrogation, the suspect confessed that in 2567, a coworker from the massage parlor where she worked persuaded her to open an online bank account, claiming it was for work purposes. She was promised 1,000 baht monthly compensation. Within three months of opening the account, it was frozen and she never received further payment. She subsequently left Thailand to work at a massage parlor in Dubai.
Authorities charged her with fraud by impersonation, defrauding the public, computer fraud involving false data entry, unlawful account usage, and money laundering conspiracy. Additional arrest warrants from Phrae and Sakon Nakhon provincial courts were issued for related charges. Police will pursue further legal action and asset seizure.
