泰國警察日前破獲電信詐騙集團，《曼谷郵報》報導，在掌握確切情報後，派人前往中部的沙沒沙空府（Samut Sakhon province），在兩間公寓住宅中查獲機房，並將負責詐騙的4人全數逮捕，其中包含兩名台灣人、兩名日本人。這4人利用電話通訊詐騙，僅僅不到兩年時間，成功讓1萬7500名日本人掉入陷阱，一共得手約95億泰銖（約新台幣86億1500萬元）。

報導中提到，這四名嫌犯使用的詐騙手法，就是過往常見的老招數，假裝是警察、司法人員或銀行高層，打電話給被害人，通知他們因為資料外洩之故，導致名下銀行帳戶有危險，必須立即將存款轉入「安全帳戶」內，而這所謂的安全帳戶，其實就是詐騙集團的戶頭，只要一轉帳、受害人才會發現自己受騙上當。

四名被逮捕的嫌犯中，泰國警方透露，兩名台灣籍男子都有幫派背景，目前只知道一人姓鄭、現年50歲；另一人姓何、現年40歲；他們的日本同夥，則分別是49歲的橫田與41歲的太郎，兩人負責執行電話詐騙。

據了解，兩名負責執行電話詐騙的日本男性，除了有每個月20萬日幣（約新台幣4萬2800元）的月薪外，同時還能從得手的詐騙金額中，抽取10%做為「傭金」。

Police have arrested four men, two Taiwanese and two Japanese, for allegedly running a call scam that defrauded about 17,500 victims in Japan out of the equivalent 9.5 billion baht in less than two years.Victims were told by callers posing as bank officials and police that their accounts were compromised by a data leak and they should transfer their money to “secure accounts” provided by the fraudsters.

The two Taiwanese were the gang leaders according to police, who identified them only as Zhen, 50, and He, 40. Their Japanese accomplices, who made the calls, were named as Daisuke, 49, and Taro, 41.

Pol Col Rathachote Chotikhun, deputy chief investigator of the Immigration Bureau, told reporters on Wednesday the two Taiwanese and one of the Japanese suspects were arrested at two adjacent houses in a housing estate in Samut Sakhon province. The other Japanese man was arrested in Krabi province.

He did not reveal when.

Pol Col Rathachote said one of the two houses was used as a call centre by the two Japanese, while the Taiwanese suspects occupied the other house.

Police seized as evidence 11 mobile phones, two notebook computers, call details written in Japanese and five cash and credit cards found at the two houses.

The two Japanese callers were allegedly paid 200,000 yen a month (about 47,000 baht) and also received 10% of the victims’ stolen money.

Deputy national police chief Pol Gen Surachate Hakparn said the gang tricked their victims in Japan out of about 9.5 billion baht (about 40 billion yen) in less than two years.
