AIS Commends Police for Dismantling 'Sukreep Hak Call' Scam Network

Khaosod Online Thailand One source

AIS has expressed gratitude to the Central Investigation Bureau following the successful crackdown on a transnational call center scam ring that impersonated officials.

AIS, a major Thai mobile operator, recently met with senior officials from the Royal Thai Police and the Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) to acknowledge the successful conclusion of the 'Sukreep Hak Call' operation. This police initiative dismantled a transnational call center scam network that had been targeting the public by impersonating both mobile service providers and law enforcement officers. The scammers frequently used police uniforms to gain credibility and deceive victims into providing personal information.

For residents and travelers in Thailand, this event highlights the ongoing risks associated with sophisticated digital fraud. AIS has reiterated that the company does not have a policy of contacting customers to request personal data or to notify them of alleged criminal activities. Individuals are advised to remain vigilant against unsolicited calls claiming to be from service providers or authorities.

While the specific criminal network has been neutralized, the broader threat of digital crime remains. AIS has pledged to continue its collaboration with the police to enhance cybersecurity measures and public awareness. It remains to be confirmed how many individuals were affected by this specific network and whether further arrests are expected as investigations continue. Residents should always verify the identity of callers through official channels before sharing any sensitive information.
