The government teams up with global networks to shut down over 115,000 fraudulent URLs, targeting transnational scammers to ensure no safe refuge for criminals.
On 11 June 2026 GMT+7, Ms. Rachada Thanadirek, spokesperson for the Office of the Prime Minister, revealed that the government is intensifying its crackdown on cybercrime and transnational crime with tangible results. The Anti-Online Fraud Center (AOC) has blocked 115,584 fraudulent online channels from 1 October 2025 to 20 May 2026 GMT+7, including 3,961 defensive blocks and 111,623 proactive blocks, based on surveillance and investigations of scam networks before citizens become victims.
This success stems from integrated cooperation between Thai agencies and over 25 global organizations and networks, including 15 foreign law enforcement bodies such as Interpol, the FBI, and the United Kingdom's National Crime Agency (NCA), as well as private tech companies like Meta. They share intelligence, track financial flows, and trace the masterminds behind transnational crime networks.
The spokesperson for the Office of the Prime Minister stated that international cooperation not only enhances the effectiveness of cracking down on call center gangs and scammer networks but also serves as a crucial mechanism to assist victims of human trafficking and online fraud schemes. It also facilitates safe repatriation of affected individuals, reflecting Thailand's proactive role in addressing transnational crime alongside the global community.
Furthermore, Thailand plans to accede to the United Nations Convention against Cybercrime by December 2026 GMT+7, aiming to elevate international cooperation to address increasingly complex cyber threats.
“The government will continue to eradicate call center gangs, online scam networks, mule accounts, and transnational money laundering operations to close all avenues for criminals and provide tangible security for the public,” the spokesperson affirmed.
