On August 29, Thai police arrested a couple in Chiang Mai suspected of making ATM withdrawals for a phone scam network. They made at least 52 withdrawals in Chiang Mai, with 37 near Pa Muang Market and 15 near San Sai Lotus Supercenter. Police seized two mobile phones, three bank cards, three passbooks, and suspect clothing. The suspects confessed to receiving instructions from a LINE account called 'Black Duck' and transferring funds to a designated location for a 5% commission. Investigations revealed that this withdrawal chain was linked to an e-fraud network that transferred funds from Cambodia's 'Pob' or 'Poipet' to Chiang Mai. Police have filed charges and are pursuing the mastermind behind 'Black Duck', other suspects, and the flow of funds.
