Offenses of Fraud : Study of Telephone Scam Cases (Call Centers Gang)

Abstract

This article aims to study legal issues on fraud in telephone scam cases, now known as call center gangs, which is regarded as a transnational crime and tends to become more serious and complex, and suggest guidelines for improving and amending the criminal code in the offense of fraud, in which the offender has adopted a method or pattern of committing an offense causing a lot of damage by stipulating the cause of increased punishment and a higher penalty rate, including changing criminal prosecution of the said offense into a state criminal offense so that government officials or related agencies can prosecute the offenders without having a complaint filed by the injured person. This prevents the offender from disobeying the law and results in the true enforceability of the law.
