Police cracks call-centre scam, 15 arrested - The Nation

Police cracks call-centre scam, 15 arrested

The Nation July 7, 2012 1:00 am


Police have arrested 15 foreigners, most of them hailing from Europe, for allegedly running a call-centre scam and duping several people into wiring more than Bt320 million into their accounts.

Of the suspects, six are British, two American, two Romanians, three from the Philippines, one German and one South African national. The suspects were arrested recently at a flat in Sukhumvit Soi 13, where they ran the scam based on bogus stock-market trade. The suspects usually worked from 1pm to midnight - the period most stock exchanges overseas operated.

Police said that most of the victims were Westerners, who were advised by the suspects - posing as independent brokers - that they could make 95 per cent profit from their investment in exchange for a 25-per-cent cut. The suspects had allegedly opened a bank account in Switzerland, which they used to transfer money to Malaysia-based accounts and then on to Thailand.

Meanwhile, police arrested a Liberian national and a Guinea national for duping an American into buying a magic potion for Bt147,000, which could allegedly turn US dollar bills of a lower denomination into $100 bills. The victim notified police after the suspects demanded another Bt1 million in exchange for the key to a safe deposit where the remainder of the potion was kept.

Telephone scams I can see but the above you have to wonder if the vic was senile or from another planet! Bloody hell. So why are these guys allowed to wear masks? So they get a fair trial?

Only the names have been changed to protect the innocent.

What's the point in parading them in front of the press if you allow them to hide their faces?

why are the hiding their face ?

6 British, no surprise here, always first to scam people

..and rather poorly usually, except for the Lloyds of London blokes who took many well heeled Yanks to the cleaners around 20 years back when they knew big insurance losses were expected later that year.

Thank fook for that. At least we are good at something !!

How enervating it is to know that we have thrashed a world class field in something .................. at last.

Even if Andy Murray gets beaten in straight sets tomorrow , the ignominious glory of these 6 British turds will remain undeminished.
