A police officer looks at a chart showing suspects involved in the fraud and call centre scam, at the national police head office in Pathumwan. The arrested suspects were identified by police as Tommy Wu, an Indonesian arrested at a house in Rarm Intra area of Bangkok, and Jirawat Klombang and Jirapat Kanarujinanon. The victims were told to transfer money to the gang’s account to help prove their innocence and avoid arrest. Police said the money was transferred to the two arrested Thai suspects, who spent it to buy bitcoins and transferred their ownership to Mr Wu. Peerapat Ingpongphan, a director of Amlo, said the office would return approximately 2 million baht to four victims within two weeks.
