Fraud Lawyer in Phetchaburi — Recover Funds from Scams, Mule Accounts & Online Fraud

Fraud victims should preserve evidence at the earliest opportunity — bank transfer slips, chat logs, and the recipient account details. Fraud is a criminal offence under Thailand's Penal Code, with online fraud also subject to the Computer-Related Crimes Act. Our team pursues both the criminal track (police complaint, investigation, prosecution) and the parallel civil track (recovery and asset attachment).

  • Asset tracing, freezing orders, interim relief, and recovery suits
  • Coordination with TCSD, Anti-Money-Laundering Office (AMLO), and economic-crime police

About our team in Phetchaburi

Phetchaburi contains Cha-am, a resort town and holiday-home market with a substantial foreign buyer base, alongside farming and coastal fishing. The recurring issues are foreign property holding — including structures that have become customary but carry real risk — sale and long-lease agreements, condominium juristic-person disputes, and family cases involving a foreign spouse.

A holding structure being common does not make it safe; several have points at which they are voidable or unenforceable once tested in court. We review the structure and the documents so the real exposure is visible before a decision is made. The team works in Thai, English, and Chinese, runs the file from our Khon Kaen head office and Bangkok branch, and travels to appear at the Phetchaburi Provincial Court.

Frequently asked questions — fraud lawyer in Phetchaburi

3 questions answered

Often yes, but speed is critical. The 24-72 hours after the transfer is the golden window — funds may not yet have been withdrawn or layered onward. We coordinate with the TCSD and the receiving bank to obtain an immediate freeze.
Yes — when harm occurs in Thailand, Thai courts have jurisdiction. Bringing the defendant to court can be complex, but the civil action can still be filed in Thailand. Enforcing against foreign-held assets requires international cooperation.
Contact a lawyer before giving any statement to the police, and gather evidence that you are also a victim (e.g., that you were deceived into opening the account). Representation from the investigation stage materially reduces the risk of being charged with money laundering.
