Reporting a scam in Thailand
First hour, in order
- Call your bank. Call your bank's own hotline at once to freeze the account or transaction. The Thai Police Online home page lists freeze-request numbers for major Thai banks, such as Kasikorn 0-2888-8888 press 001 and SCB 0-2777-7575.
- Stop paying. No fee, tax or "release payment" ever unlocks money that does not exist.
- Screenshot everything before you delete an app, block a number or close an account.
- Then report using the routes below. Reporting is slower than the bank call, and less urgent, but it is what produces enforcement.
Thailand’s police run a dedicated online-crime reporting site, Thai Police Online, operated by the Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau. It offers an online report (แจ้งความออนไลน์), a tip-off form, a chat with officers, a tool to check whether an account has been flagged as a mule account, and a hotline, 1441. The site we reviewed is in Thai, and you have to register and log in to file, so a non-Thai speaker may need help. We could not confirm from the page whether it offers an English interface.
Speed matters most. The site publishes freeze-request phone numbers for the large Thai banks, and calling your own bank first is the quickest way to try to stop a transfer. If you are in Thailand, a police station can also take a report in person. We did not find a separate verified channel built for foreign victims reporting from abroad.

What not to do
- Do not pay anyone to recover your money. No legitimate service charges an up-front fee to get stolen funds back, and people who have just been scammed are the primary market for recovery scams.
- Do not use contact details the scammer gave you, not the phone number, not the "support" chat, not a link in a message. Look the agency up yourself.
- Do not delete the evidence. Apps, chats, wallet addresses and transaction IDs are what make a report actionable.
- Do not send one more payment. This is where most of the largest losses happen.
