At 12.00 noon yesterday (28 December), police officers and NBTC officers went to the Aranyaprathet border in Sa Kaeo Province to inspect telecommunication signals along the border and surrounding areas near a 25-story building and a large casino on the neighboring country side, which is believed to be a large base for the call center gang. They used special tools from the NBTC to analyze the data. They also called a meeting with the military, police, and security agencies along the border to emphasize various measures by the Royal Thai Police and the NBTC, including stricter measures for crossing the border to prevent the call center gang from taking advantage of the New Year festival to smuggle people to work illegally. They also flew a helicopter to inspect the border and inspect natural channels to prevent people from illegally crossing the border. Pol. Gen. Thatchai Pitaneelabutr, Inspector-General of the Royal Thai Police and Director of the Technology Crime Suppression Center of the Royal Thai Police (TCSD), said that the call center gang is located in Poipet, Cambodia, which is adjacent to the Thai border in Aranyaprathet District, Sa Kaeo Province. This is a criminal organization with foreigners behind it that deceives, defrauds, and takes the property of Thais, causing damage to Thailand. It is a new form of foreign threat to national security. From checking the reports from the public via the online complaint center of the Royal Thai Police, it was found that the signals used to send messages and make phone calls to deceive the public in large numbers come from Poipet, Cambodia. Therefore, the authorities have implemented the measure of “Bombing the Bandit Bridge”, aiming to cut off the supply routes of the criminals so that they cannot be used to commit crimes, consisting of 1. Search for telephone signals and cut off telephone communication signals and internet data that are being illegally sent to the criminals. Prosecute those involved strictly. 2. Strictly and closely monitor border crossers for foreigners and Thais who join the call center gang, both opening accounts and scanning faces for criminals, including deceiving Thais and withdrawing money traveling across the border through immigration police channels and natural channels. Seriously prosecute the leaders. 3. Strictly monitor equipment for smuggling money, mobile phones, Simboxes across the border through natural border channels and immigration police checkpoints. This time, from the field visit with the NBTC, we found 3 signal towers in the area closest to the border. It is believed that the signal was sent to the 25-storey building. At present, the NBTC has ordered the suspension of the signal and will take legal action against those involved. In addition, we would like to inform the group of Thais who travel across the border to work for the call center gang, which is considered treason, helping a foreign criminal organization to deceive Thai people, will be strictly prosecuted. The reporter said that earlier, Mr. Thaksin Shinawatra, former Prime Minister, went on stage to give a speech while helping to campaign for the election of the mayor of Chiang Mai Provincial Administrative Organization (PAO) for a candidate of the Pheu Thai Party. He pointed out the location of the call center gang, which is using a 25-storey building in Poipet, Cambodia, as the base of the call center gang.
