Thai police arrested an organized group of fraudsters who used fake lending apps. The group is suspected of international extortion and faces numerous arrest warrants. It was reported that the group operated through the Beebaht app, offering low-income loans with high interest rates. Victims often found themselves in debt traps and were forced to pay huge sums to settle their debts. According to police, the group had been active for several months, using various fraud methods, including creating fake apps with false lending offers and employing complex schemes for extortion. During the operation, police arrested all members of the group, who had numerous arrest warrants issued against them. Currently, all those detained are in custody and undergoing judicial investigation. Thai police continue to work on identifying other members of this criminal group and cooperate with international law enforcement agencies to prevent further cases of loan fraud through apps. It is important for victims of such schemes to report to the police and not pay money without verifying the legality of the loan. In case of detecting fraudulent activities, one should inform the law enforcement authorities.
