ChainCatcher news, according to Cryptonews, Thai authorities have cracked a cross-border cryptocurrency fraud case, which allegedly defrauded a local woman of over $620,000.

According to local reports, the network spans Thailand, Cambodia, and Myanmar, operating a highly organized scam involving fake online investment opportunities, identity theft, and cross-border money laundering. Investigations reveal that the suspects used a fake investment chat group to lure victims, subsequently moving to private messaging applications to exert more control. In this case, the victim Mallika contacted the scammers through a public Facebook group and was ultimately persuaded to invest in a fake high-return cryptocurrency and stock portfolio, transferring a total of 21 million Thai Baht (approximately $621,000).

The Thai Immigration Bureau has obtained arrest warrants and apprehended several suspects, and the case is still under further investigation.
