How This Police-Impersonation Scam Call Creates Pressure

💡 Key takeaways

In a recorded call, a caller claimed a phone number was tied to a crime, then posed as a cyber-police officer. The pressure and secrecy are warning signs; verify independently.

A 9arm video published on 29 July 2023 describes a call in which a caller claimed the recipient’s phone number had been used in an illegal transaction, then passed the conversation to someone claiming to be a cyber-police officer. The article focuses on the sequence of pressure described in that call, not on a claim that every scam uses the same script.

Warning signs in the recorded call

The recording does not establish that money was transferred or documents were actually sent. It also does not verify the callers’ identities. No personal phone numbers or IP addresses are reproduced here.

If you receive a similar call

End the call. Do not use a number, link or app supplied by the caller to verify their identity. Do not share an OTP, password, banking details or identity documents, and do not install an app or transfer money because someone is pressuring you. Contact the relevant organization using contact details you find independently. For a technology-crime report or verification, start with the Royal Thai Police’s Thai Police Online or its listed hotline 1441; check the official site for current contact instructions.
