Fraud Lawyer in Ranong — 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).

  • Online fraud — fake pages, romance scams, fake Forex/crypto investments
  • Mule-account cases — both victims and account-holders frozen unknowingly
  • Fraud against the public (Loan-Fraud Act) — illegal deposit-taking scams
  • 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 Ranong

Ranong is a maritime crossing to Kawthaung in Myanmar and a fishing and cold-storage base with one of the country's highest reliance on migrant labour. The cases that arise are migrant labour and work permits, fisheries and vessel licensing, customs procedure and seized goods, seafood supply contracts, and debt recovery between operators on both sides.

Fishing and cold-storage operations can be inspected on labour, licensing, and customs at the same time, and answering one front at a time without the whole picture tends to produce statements that contradict each other. We align the entire response, run the file from our Khon Kaen head office and Bangkok branch, and travel to appear at the Ranong Provincial Court.

Frequently asked questions — fraud lawyer in Ranong

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 The 24-72 hours after the transfer is the golden window — funds may not yet have been withdrawn or layered onward.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.
