What kind of fraud

Cases by type, 2023 — the first year with clean classification.
Fastest-growing

Where 2024 is surging

Growth in 2024 (Jan–Jul) vs the same 7-month span of 2023.
Fake part-time-job scams (“earn money doing simple tasks”) are up nearly 200%. The mundane, high-frequency frauds — shopping, jobs, loans — drive the bulk of harm; romance scams and ransomware stay tiny.
The trajectory

Reported cases keep climbingEscalating

Monthly reported cases, March 2022 to July 2024. The total count is reliable across all three years even where early case-typing was rough.
What this means: monthly volume roughly tripled, from ~9k in early 2022 to ~34k by mid-2024. After a flat 2023, cases stepped up again from May 2024 onward. Seven months of 2024 (212,935) nearly match the entire 2023 total — a full-year pace around 365,000.
Who gets hit

The victim profile

Age, sex and occupation of victims, 2023. The picture overturns the usual “scammers prey on the elderly” assumption.
By age group
By sex
By occupation
Working-age and female. Ages 30–44 are the single biggest group (39%); the over-60s are just 6%. Women are the majority of victims in every single scam type (61–79%). The one scam that does hunt the elderly is the “install this remote-control app” trick — 22% of its victims are 60+, triple any other category.
Money lost

Death by a thousand cuts

A note on the data

Classification caveat. In 2022, 99% of cases were filed under a single catch-all “other technology crimes” bucket; by 2023 proper categories were in use (catch-all down to 30%). So year-on-year change in total cases is solid, but per-category jumps from 2022→2023 mostly reflect re-labelling, not real growth. These figures are also reported cases, and losses are banded, not exact.
Most fraud is small: 83% of cases lose under ฿1M and ~16% report no completed loss. Fewer than 0.1% exceed ฿10M — but those few likely dominate the total baht stolen.
