(Photo: Royal Thai Navy)Seven Chinese cyber scammers have been caught sneaking into Thailand via Chanthaburi province in two separate incidents, with dozens of phones and SIM cards seized, the Royal Thai Army reported on Friday. A search discovered 59 phones, paper scripts in Chinese to be used to scam victims, forged official documents and a notebook for financial keeping records. At 10pm, a different task force caught another Chinese man, 44, near a natural border crossing. With pressure apparently mounting, more people — both Thai employees and Chinese managers — have been attempting to sneak into Thailand.
