Update: 2025-04-21
Description
A Thai woman has been talking about how she was tricked into handing over more than $300,000 to a criminal gang that entrapped her in an elaborate scam that began as a supposed case of identity fraud and which led her to believe that she and her family could be facing prison.
A new report released by the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) says that the transnational organized crime groups in Asia which carry out these types of scams are expanding their operations deeper into the region and beyond.
In this episode of The Lid Is On, Laura Gil reports from Bangkok where she met Wannapa Suprasert from Thailand who is currently living and working in the United States.
