If true, this suggests an inability to keep pace with scammers. 300 simboxes were found in New York the day before. Such tech would be capable of sending 30 million messages per minute or handling 60,000 calls in parallel. Validating caller ID would not stop any of that.

Give me one million USD and I'll setup the exact same. All of this is off the shelf, commercially available hardware. ejointech.shop/collections/v… I need 391 simboxes (which are also the 'servers') of which each unit handles 256 sim cards. And a pile of prepaid sims. The real question: Is the FCC sleeping as these devices are FCC approved.

Costly operation, 3K per 256 concurrent calls (simbox), so 391 simboxes. Add costs for the sims card, 2 USD a piece? That's quite an investment.

Police Seize 16 Simboxes from Philippine🇵🇭 Online Vendor A 28 year old man in the Philippine city of Tarlac was arrested last week after police pretended to be potential buyers of SMS blasters he had advertised online. The police stated that 16 SMS blasters had been seized in the operation but photographs and descriptions of the equipment suggests they were simboxes rather than fake base stations. Simboxes are used by scammers to send large numbers of P2P SMS messages because improved anti-fraud controls have made it more difficult to send scam messages through A2P channels. commsrisk.com/police-seize-1…

The police's "Bridge Bombing" operation, targeting call center networks and SIM card suppliers used in scams, continued with raids on 20 suppliers of SIM cards and SimBoxes. This operation aims to disrupt criminal activities by targeting phone signals, internet access, SIM suppliers, mule accounts, and social media platforms. On Wednesday, authorities arrested two suspects, including a Chinese national, linked to a call center syndicate involved in a series of online fraud schemes. The raids resulted in the seizure of 100 SimBoxes, mobile phones, and over 20,000 registered SIM cards. From October 1 to 10, the Police Cyber Taskforce coordinated a nationwide effort to inspect SIM card vending kiosks run by small retailers. A total of 647 kiosks were identified as having registered SIM cards for criminal activities. This initiative aimed to gather evidence, issue arrest warrants, and prosecute those complicit in registering SIM cards for illicit use. The investigation led to charges against more than 20 stores and the collection of significant evidence, including 101,068 Thai SIM cards, 113 SimBox devices, 575 mobile phones, 23 computers, and various identification documents like ID cards and passports. This evidence will be crucial in pursuing arrests. During the inspections, two critical issues in the SIM registration process were identified: - Criminals still hold significant numbers of SIM cards registered before the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) limited ownership to five SIM cards per person. - Online SIM registration systems inadequately detect fraudulent registrations, such as incorrect images or text entries instead of legitimate names. The cyber police plan to urgently address these issues with the NBTC and service providers. Going forward, the cyber police will track phone numbers used in scams, as reported in the Thaipoliceonline system, to identify the SIM kiosks responsible for registering these numbers for call center gangs and take decisive legal action. The cyber police emphasize that without these SIM kiosks or the involvement of complicit individuals, criminals operating from neighboring countries will face significant challenges. They warn SIM card retailers and anyone involved in registering SIMs for call center gangs—foreign criminals supported by Thai accomplices stealing and transferring assets abroad. #Thailand #China #CallCenterGangs #OnlineScams #PhoneScams #Scams

The police apprehended two suspects, including a Chinese national, in connection with a call center syndicate involved in a series of online fraud operations, leading to the confiscation of 100 SimBoxes, mobile phones, and over 20,000 registered SIM cards. The Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) executed a search warrant at a residence in Soi Happy Land Town House 4, located in Bangkok's Bang Kapi District, as part of the "Bridge Bombing" operation targeting call center networks and the suppliers of SIM cards used in these illicit activities. The detained suspects include a 68-year-old Thai national, the property owner, and a 33-year-old Chinese national who allegedly managed the telecommunications infrastructure. Each of the 100 seized SimBoxes was capable of conducting approximately 3,000 simultaneous calls. Preliminary interrogation of the suspects revealed they employed well-known tactics, including operating from neighboring countries while masking their foreign identity by using Thai phone numbers ( 66) to contact victims. The National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission is expected to deliberate on implementing stricter controls for registering mobile numbers linked to more than five SIM cards as the investigation broadens to scrutinize SIM registrants. According to the CIB, operations today targeted four distinct locations and that the extensive haul represents a major disruption to the call center syndicate, although additional co-conspirators and ringleaders are believed to be at large. During questioning, the 68-year-old Thai suspect admitted to owning the property and disclosed that he had previously worked as a SIM card vendor, amassing knowledge of the telecommunications industry over a five-year period. He registered over 10,000 SIM cards in his own name, receiving 2 baht for each, which he procured through agents. Authorities suspect that the Thai man operated the SimBox systems, while the Chinese national was responsible for overseeing their setup and daily operations. The suspects have been charged with two offenses: facilitating the sale or distribution of mobile phone numbers registered under false identities without disclosing the true users, an offense punishable by a fine ranging from 200,000 to 500,000 baht and imprisonment of 2 to 5 years; and the unauthorized use, importation, or distribution of telecommunications equipment without a license from the relevant authority, including operating a telecommunications station and utilizing frequencies for illegal telecommunications activities.
