DSI warns people about deception by persons falsely claiming to be its officers with their identity cards shown

       As appeared in the news about people as the injured persons in the case of swindlers employing their new trick by falsely claiming to be officers of the DSI and deceiving people to transfer money to them, the acts of the said swindlers comprised making phone calls to injured persons by presenting themselves as officers of the DSI and requesting the injured persons to add their DSI fake Line account and sending fake identity cards of officers of the DSI to the injured persons for creating their credibility as well as notifying the injured persons of their involvement in money laundering of narcotics cases. The injured persons were further notified that their names appeared in the bank accounts found from searching the residence of alleged offenders who were arrested. The injured persons were suggested by the swindlers to transfer their money into the alleged offender’s bank accounts in order to prove their innocence and prevent the injured persons from withdrawing money from such accounts. The injured persons were also convinced that their money will be transferred back to their accounts as soon as the inspection was completed. The injured persons were tricked, they transferred their money for multiple times, causing huge damage.

       The DSI wishes to publicize and warn people that the official contact made to or made by the DSI must be proceeded by its officers according to legal procedures. In other words, there must be a letter summoning or inviting you to meet the officers for inquiry. The officers will definitely neither phone you nor contact you online for financial transactions. If there is any person contacting you by phone, claiming to be the officer of the DSI or any other government agencies, and requesting you to make financial transactions, you must be aware of deceptions made by a fraud gang and end a phone call immediately regardless of phone numbers or reasons. However, if you were deceived and already made money transfer, please inform the bank owning such account and promptly report the case to the police where the incident happened.
