International fraud prevention: Thailand and Cambodia in discussion!
The issue of fraud is currently being taken seriously in Phuket: Thailand's deputy police chief,พล.ต.ท.จิรภพ ภูริเดช, plans to hold talks with Cambodian police to jointly tackle the flood of scammers operating in the region. Loud Thairath Bilateral cooperation to effectively combat this crime will be discussed during the 43rd ASEANAPOL Conference held on November 4, 2025.
Cambodian police have already formed two specialized teams to combat call center B scammers. “We rely on international cooperation – without it it will be difficult to solve the problem,” said the police chief. While Thailand notes that there are no major fraud centers in the country, smaller groups appear to be active. The police are prepared to act immediately if information about fraud centers in Thailand is available.
The challenge of international cooperation
A central point of these discussions is close cooperation with Cambodian authorities. “We cannot investigate autonomously in Cambodia,” it is emphasized. The pressure on Cambodia will increase if they do not show cooperation. Thai police plan to send officers to Cambodia to promote intelligence sharing.
The reality is that fraudsters often operate across borders and move across different countries. Multilingual perpetrators are not uncommon, especially in the region. Further evidence will be handed over to Cambodia step by step, with the success of this cooperation crucially depending on Cambodia's reaction.
Fraud warnings: Reports are important
Reports can also uncover other tactics used by fraudsters. For example, impersonator scams, in which fraudsters pose as technical support staff, are becoming more common. It is crucial to recognize these patterns and inform the public about them.
Fraud – an international challenge
Ultimately, it is up to the cohesion of society and international cooperation to put a stop to these criminal activities. Education and prevention measures are key to raising awareness of vulnerable groups and protecting them from losses. Together we are stronger against fraudsters, whether in Thailand or elsewhere.
