Can I sue if the fraudster is overseas?

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.

My account was used as a mule account without my knowledge. What now?

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.

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 The 24-72 hours after the transfer is the golden window — funds may not yet have been withdrawn or layered onward.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