The government is intensifying its crackdown on scammers, showcasing the success of the AOC 1441 hotline as a frontline service assisting the public by cutting off fraud circuits and swiftly preventing damage. It reaffirms the principle of “name blocking, behavior-based” with no exceptions.
On 8 June 2026, Ms. Ratchada Thanadirek, spokesperson for the Prime Minister's Office, stated that the government under Prime Minister and Interior Minister Anutin Charnvirakul is seriously and continuously tackling cybercrime. The Prime Minister's key principle is “name blocking, behavior-based”: anyone involved with scammers, online fraud networks, or harmful operations against the public will be investigated based on their actions, regardless of name, connections, or influence—no exceptions.
The Online Crime Resolution Operations Center, or AOC 1441, is a vital mechanism serving as the frontline to assist citizens deceived online. It is not just a reporting channel but also an urgent coordination center linking the public, police, financial institutions, regulators, and digital agencies to halt damage, freeze money flows, and promptly forward information for prosecution.
Ms. Ratchada said that data from AOC 1441’s operations showed that from February to September 2025, there were 851,495 incoming calls, averaging 3,519 per day. From October 2025 to May 2026, calls increased to 966,125, or 3,992 per day. This reflects that citizens increasingly rely on this channel when victimized or at risk from cybercrime.
Regarding joint account suspension reports, from February to September 2025 there were 355,381 calls, averaging 1,469 per day, increasing to 362,472 calls, or 1,498 per day, from October 2025 to May 2026. This demonstrates the crucial role of AOC 1441’s collaboration with financial institutions in preventing damage at the source.
Ms. Ratchada added that although reporting and coordination numbers rose, the value of financial damage decreased from 14,365.97 million baht between February and September 2025 to 12,155.87 million baht from October 2025 to May 2026—a 15.38% reduction. This indicates that quicker public access to assistance enables faster damage prevention.
Beyond helping victims, the government is also closing illegal channels and online gambling sites. Data from 2023 to 24 May 2026 shows a continuous increase in shutdowns of fake and fraudulent websites—from 48 court orders and 10,394 platform coordinations in fiscal 2023 to 41 court orders and 52,906 platform coordinations in fiscal 2026. Online gambling sites rose sharply from 2,059 in 2023 to 629,711 in 2026.
Ms. Ratchada said these figures clearly show the government is not only addressing symptoms but rapidly cutting entire systems—from fraud channels, illegal platforms, and financial routes to criminal networks. The government will continue to intensify cybercrime suppression, keeping pace with scammers’ technology. Reporting, account freezing, money tracing, and prosecution must be faster than before to assure the public that the state is a reliable support and offenders will face full legal consequences.
The government urges the public that if they become victims of online crime, are deceived into transferring money, scammed in investments, or suspect they are targeted by criminals, they should immediately call the AOC hotline 1441. Every minute counts in blocking money flows, reducing damage, and increasing chances of bringing offenders to justice.
