Gang ran fake tax call centre (Thailand)

Well it's tax time for all and Thailand is not the only one that is seeing fraud and fakes. In February three men in Thailand lured people into believing that they were with the revenue service. These men convinced people to transfer money to them via the ATM and that they would receive a "tax refund."

Just like when you call a service and get the touch tone options, these victims were put through an automated phone service system that led them to options to send money from their accounts to the gang. The police said that as soon as the transfers were made the men would withdraw and use the money.

Gang was arrested after police found the youngest member (18 yrs. old) withdrawing money and led the police to the other members.

Makes you think twice about who you believe and where your money goes.
Keep looking for updates on sentences and charges
