The Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau (CCIB) is warning people not to fall for calls by scammers pretending to be staff from the Department of Internal Trade after one such crook allegedly embezzled 16 million baht from his victim's bank account.
CCIB commissioner Pol Lt Gen Worawat Watnakornbancha said on Monday that it is probing the complaint by a man named only as "Mr Wachara", 40, a businessman in Chon Buri, who submitted evidence on Monday that a scammer had called him on Friday, claiming to be a Department of Internal Trade official.
