Police arrested 11 South Korean nationals for operating a call center scam in Bangkok luxury houses, targeting victims in South Korea. The arrests were made during raids by officers from the Technology Crime Suppression Division (TCSD) with cooperation from the South Korean Embassy. The suspects posed as South Korean officials or attorneys, pressured victims to transfer money, and were found with equipment used for deception. The group had no links to Thai suspects or victims, and police plan to report the case to the South Korean Embassy for prosecution. Similar crackdowns have occurred in the past, involving South Korean and Chinese suspects in Bangkok and Pattaya.
