Cut the scammer circuit.
On Nov 7, 2025, the Ministry of Digital Economy and Society (DEE), together with the Online Anti-Fraud Center and the National Police Agency, announced a massive operation to cut the Scrammer circuit after detecting more than 9 million people, both living and deceased, were sold on social media, causing over 290 million baht in damage.
According to DE Minister Chai Chok Chidchuk, this operation is an escalation of cyber warfare. According to the policy of Prime Minister Nathin Chan Virgul, PDPC Eagle Eye detects the trading of personal information through online platforms before sending the information to the police to investigate and arrest six accused, with seizure of computers, mobile phones and a large number of backup devices.
Investigations have shown that the information traded includes names, surnames, addresses, phone numbers and bank accounts, which have been used in online scams such as call centers, illegal investment solicitations and online gambling, where officials have lured information from the Facebook page "Gray Line Marketing," found more than 2.3 million real information and linked to more than 4,600 online fraud cases worth more than $298 million in damage.
Operation "Cut Down Scam" launched eight raids on multiple provinces, including Chiang Rai, Udon Thani, Saraburi, Pathum Thani, Samut Samut, Prachi, Chonburi, and Phuket, arresting a total of six accused, initially pleading guilty to obtaining information from online gambling, bootleg money apps and fraudulent apps before selling it on the online black market.
Lt. Gen. Gen. Chirlok Phuridesh, an assistant director of the police, stated that Facebook has closed the group and has not yet found a connection with a prominent politician or person, but confirmed that all the accused have sold the information themselves and ordered an extension of the search for more buyers.
The Ministry of DE and PDPC reiterates that the PDPA law protects the personal information of both the living and the deceased. If it is sold for a crime, it is punishable by up to five years in prison, a fine of up to 500,000 baht or a fine, and warns the public to be careful. Over 9 million people will be contacted for notification and advice on prevention.
