Thai law enforcement agencies have issued a warning in connection with the spread of a simple but effective trick for fraudsters to safely cash out illegally obtained funds. As the Bangkok Police Investigation Department (IDMB) warns, criminals are on duty at ATMs and ask random people to help them withdraw money from their card. The fraudster pretends that something is not working out for him, and asks for help from someone who seems ready to show him sympathy. As a result, the camera records the withdrawal of stolen money by an absolutely random person who was not involved in their theft. This complicates the investigation and creates problems for the person whose face is caught in the camera.
It follows from the publication that such a trick is common among individuals engaged in remote types of fraud to withdraw already stolen funds from fake bank accounts. Instead of withdrawing money from the card themselves, the person pretends that they can't handle the ATM and asks for help from a nearby person, for example, standing behind them in the queue to the ATM.
The trick is not to steal money from a random victim. The fraudster's task is to withdraw funds that have already been transferred to a fake account, but in such a way that the camera built into the ATM does not capture his face, but the face of another person.
When an investigation of theft begins, the victim receives a call to the police, since it is she who turns out to be the person who withdrew the money; IDMB indicates.
It should be noted that earlier this year, a Decree on countering Cybercrime came into force in Thailand, according to which the country introduced serious penalties for providing SIM cards, bank cards and accounts to third parties for illegal purposes. Maximum penalty for helping fraudsters; up to five years in prison and/or up to 500 thousand rubles. baht fine.
As another anti-fraud measure, a ban on anonymous deposits to bank accounts via CDM machines was introduced. Now, in order to top up your own or someone else's account via an ATM with the cash acceptance function, you need to confirm your identity, for example, using a bank card.
