CSD launches hunt for call-centre scamsters

Crime Suppression Division (CSD) has set up a team to hunt down a gang of call-centre con artists, after a former state official lost nearly Bt30 million.

The CSD team will collaborate with the Anti-Money Laundering Office (AMLO) to search for information about the gang.

CSD will first meet representatives of the banks that had taken care of her accounts to find owners of the accounts she has transferred the money to. The former state official has transferred money to around 80 accounts, which police believe belonged to the gang.
