Krung Thai Bank reports a surge in scams targeting students using increasingly sophisticated tactics beyond simple money transfers—including impersonation of authorities, forced video calls for monitoring, and "runner" networks physically collecting valuables. The bank emphasizes that legitimate officials never request fund transfers, video-call investigations, or secrecy from family, and advises victims to hang up and immediately contact authorities or the bank's hotline (AOC 1441 or 02-111-1111 ext. 108).
