Thai police raid suspected scam network targeting South Koreans, 10 detained

Thai police detained 10 foreign nationals on Tuesday (Oct 20) when they raided 3 locations in Bangkok over a suspected scam network targeting South Koreans.

The suspects allegedly posed as government officials with fake arrest warrants to intimidate victims into money transfers.

One victim reportedly lost 64 million won (S$61,623), which prompted South Korean police to work with their Thai counterparts to track down the suspected scammers.
