Recently, the Thai Cyber Police and the Special Operations Group of the Saraburi Police Station launched "Alan 710" operation, raiding the network of a Chinese boss in Bobae known as "Proxy Accounting Supplier Network".
This network was used for receiving funds transferred from various types of cybercrimes, including call center scams and online gambling.
An officer from the Nakhon Pathom Provincial Police Station reported that the body of 28-year-old Sudarat Buasan, a traditional massage therapist from Nakhon Phanom, was found after she jumped into the Menam River from a ferry.
Investigations revealed that after taking a job to earn extra income, she was overwhelmed by stress and deceived by a call center gang into making investments. She was tricked into transferring money eight times between September 5 and 6, 2024, until her account was emptied, totaling over 338,000 Thai Baht.
She had planned to use this money to redeem the land deeds she had mortgaged. That evening, she decided to end her life.
Subsequently, officers from the Second Division of Cybercrime Suppression arrested Sunma (19, female) from Nonthaburi, Uthai (44, male) from Saraburi, and Manop (59, male) from Nakhon Ratchasima.
All three were arrested under warrants numbered 930, 932, and 933D issued by the Nakhon Pathom Court.
Following further searches, the police, under arrest warrants number 953 and 931 from the Nakhon Pathom Court, arrested 36-year-old suspect Bunchom and 22-year-old suspect Pitawat.
The police stated that after arresting the three suspects, the criminal gang opened accounts and used facial recognition to withdraw funds from the account of Ms. Sudarat Buasan (28).
The arrested suspects indicated that there were other perpetrators involved, and the police also discovered the relationships and division of labor among the criminals.
The police collected evidence until they were able to issue arrest warrants for another five individuals involved in the case, namely Akkaradet (male), Boonchom (male), Ketsuda (female), Sunaree (female), and Sivata (female).
The police also searched three target houses, believed to be command centers possibly containing electronic devices and evidence related to the deposit accounts.
The investigation found that there was a clear division of labor among the suspects.
They employed a large number of people to open "proxy accounts" based on orders from the Chinese boss in Bobae, specifying the type and number of accounts before selling these accounts to the Chinese boss, which were then used to receive and transfer criminal funds.
So far, 9 suspects have been arrested in this case, with one still at large.
