Threatened with the Release of Intimate Videos? Why Do Lawyers Advise, “Don’t Rush to Report It to the Police”? The Legal Reasons Behind a Commonly Misunderstood Controversy

Recently, Wongsakorn Law Firm released an educational video providing legal guidance on cases in which victims are threatened with the disclosure of intimate videos or private photographs taken during a romantic relationship. In the video, Lawyer Arm Supasit Siri advised that:
“Do not rush to file a police report. Consult a lawyer first.”
However, after the video was released, it sparked widespread discussion in the comment section of Wongsakorn Law Firm’s Facebook page. While some viewers understood the message the video intended to convey, many others raised questions, including:

  • “I watched the entire video, but it did not provide any substantial information. It simply advised viewers not to rush to file a police report without explaining the reason.” 
  • What message is this video actually trying to convey?” 
  • “If victims are not supposed to file a police report immediately, what should they do instead? Why wasn’t this explained?” 

These comments indicate that many people may have interpreted the advice, “Do not rush to file a police report,” differently from its intended meaning.
In this article, Lawyer Arm Supasit provides a clear explanation of why lawyers make such a recommendation and why careful legal planning before initiating legal proceedings is essential, particularly in cases involving the disclosure of intimate videos and online threats.

‘Do not rush to file a police report’ does not mean ‘There is no need to file a police report.’

A key misunderstanding stems from interpreting only part of the statement.
What Lawyer Arm intended to communicate is as follows:
What Lawyer Arm intended to communicate is as follows:
Instead, it means that:

Before filing a police report, victims should carefully assess the situation and gather as much relevant evidence as possible. 

This is because, in cases involving the disclosure of intimate videos or blackmail, much of the key evidence exists in digital form, such as:

  • Chat messages
  • URLs
  • User profiles
  • Social media accounts
  • Dates and times of posts
  • Money transfer records
  • Screenshots
  • Data stored in cloud services or electronic devices

Some of this digital evidence may be deleted, altered, or become unavailable within a very short period of time.

Why Is Preserving Evidence More Important Than Many People Realize?

In cases involving the disclosure of intimate videos, many victims react with shock and immediately take action as soon as they discover that their videos have been shared.

However, in many cases, acting too quickly before properly preserving the available evidence may result in the loss of critical information, such as:

  • The uploader deleting the video;
  • The user account being deactivated or removed;
  • Messages being deleted;
  • Links becoming inaccessible;
  • Digital evidence being lost.

Once such information is lost, it may become significantly more difficult to establish the facts of the case at a later stage.

For this reason, lawyers often advise victims to first assess the situation and preserve evidence in a systematic manner before taking legal action. The appropriate course of action, however, will always depend on the specific facts and circumstances of each case.

Digital Evidence Requires Careful Preservation

Lawyer Arm Supasit explained that preserving electronic evidence involves much more than simply taking screenshots. It should be carried out carefully to ensure that details which may be crucial to establishing the facts of the case are properly preserved.

In certain types of cases, collecting and preserving evidence thoroughly from the outset can help improve the effectiveness of legal proceedings while reducing the risk of losing critical information.
The Controversy Also Highlights Communication Challenges in the Online Environment

Another noteworthy point is that many comments suggest some viewers may have formed conclusions after watching only part of the video rather than considering its full context.

In the online environment, information is often consumed very quickly, making misunderstandings more likely—particularly when legal issues are involved, as they require context and careful explanation.

Taking the time to read or watch the complete content before expressing an opinion can help reduce misunderstandings and encourage more constructive and informed public discussion.
Does Consulting a Lawyer Require Payment?

Another common question raised by the public is:

“Is there a fee for consulting a lawyer?”

The answer is that the service models and fee structures vary from one law firm to another.

However, obtaining legal advice at an early stage can help victims better understand their legal rights, plan an appropriate legal strategy, and reduce the risk of further harm or complications later on.

In cases involving the disclosure of intimate videos or threats made to extort money, the consequences often extend far beyond reputational damage. Such incidents may also affect a victim’s education, employment, personal relationships, and psychological well-being.

What Should You Do If You Are Threatened With the Release of an Intimate Video?

If you find yourself in such a situation, the following steps are recommended:

  • Stay calm and avoid responding emotionally.
  • Preserve all relevant evidence, including chat messages, screenshots, URLs, and the other party’s contact information.
  • Avoid deleting messages or any other important evidence.
  • Consult a legal professional to assess the most appropriate legal course of action.
  • File a police report or exercise your legal rights when sufficient information and evidence have been gathered, taking into account the specific circumstances of the case.

The controversy that arose following the release of Wongsakorn Law Firm’s video highlights the importance of providing clear and comprehensive explanations when communicating legal issues, so as to minimize misunderstandings and prevent misinterpretation by the public.
The phrase “Do not rush to file a police report” does not mean that victims should refrain from exercising their legal rights. Rather, it emphasizes the importance of preparing carefully, preserving relevant evidence, and planning an appropriate legal strategy before initiating legal proceedings. The most suitable course of action will depend on the specific facts and circumstances of each individual case.
If you or someone close to you is facing the unauthorized disclosure of intimate videos, blackmail, or online harassment, you may seek legal advice from Wongsakorn Law Firm. Our legal team can assess the facts of your case, advise on the proper preservation of evidence, and recommend an appropriate legal strategy before the damage escalates further.

Loss of Use Compensation: Do You Really Have to Sign a Consent Form to Wait for Spare Parts? A Real Case from Wongsakorn Law Firm: Know Your Rights Before Dealing with an Insurance Company.

Posted on by wongsakornsiri

When a road traffic accident occurs, most people focus on getting their vehicle repaired and back on the road as quickly as possible. However, many policyholders overlook an important legal right—the right to claim Loss of Use Compensation. If a damaged vehicle cannot be used while it is undergoing repairs, the injured party may be legally entitled to compensation for the loss of its use. 

Based on the extensive experience of Lawyer Arm Supasit Siri of Wongsakorn Law Firm in handling insurance disputes, it has been observed that in many cases involving lengthy vehicle repairs, insurance companies ask consumers to sign documents consenting to wait for spare parts or agreeing to an extended repair period. Unfortunately, many consumers are unaware that signing such documents may later affect their legal rights, including their ability to claim Loss of Use Compensation or other forms of compensation available under the law.

Through this article, Lawyer Arm Supasit Siri shares insights drawn from actual cases handled by Wongsakorn Law Firm to shed light on legal issues that many consumers do not know. The goal is to help readers understand their legal rights before dealing with insurance companies and to avoid unintentionally waiving compensation to which they may be legally entitled.

Real Case: An Insurance Company Asked Our Client to Sign a Consent Form to Wait for Spare Parts

The case began when a client of Wongsakorn Law Firm was involved in a road traffic accident, and the damaged vehicle had to be repaired at an authorized service center.

During the repair process, a representative from the insurance company contacted Lawyer Arm Supasit Siri and stated that the client needed to sign a Consent to Wait for Spare Parts form, acknowledging and agreeing to the delay in repairs caused by the unavailability of spare parts.

Lawyer Arm immediately asked a straightforward question:

“If my client refuses to sign this document, will the insurance company still repair the vehicle?”

The insurance company’s response was:

“Yes, we will.”

Upon hearing this, Lawyer Arm asked a follow-up question:

“If the vehicle will be repaired regardless of whether the document is signed, why is my client required to sign it?”

The response was:

“It is simply to acknowledge that the customer has been informed.”

However, the key question remains:

Is the document truly intended only to acknowledge that the customer has been informed, or could it also affect the customer’s right to claim Loss of Use Compensation or other legal entitlements at a later stage?

Why Should You Carefully Consider Before Signing Such a Document?

In practice, the contents of these documents vary from case to case. If a document contains provisions relating to consenting to repair delays, agreeing to wait for spare parts, or other terms that may affect your legal rights, consumers should carefully read and fully understand every provision before signing.

Such documents may later be relied upon as evidence or referenced in the event of a dispute. Whether they affect your legal rights will depend on the specific wording of the document and the facts of each individual case.

For this reason, before signing any document, an injured party should ensure they fully understand its contents. If there is any uncertainty about the legal implications, it is always advisable to consult a lawyer before signing, in order to avoid unintentionally affecting any legal rights or potential claims.

What Is Loss of Use Compensation? 

Loss of Use Compensation refers to damages arising from an owner’s inability to use their vehicle while it is being repaired following an accident for which another party is legally responsible.

In other words, if your vehicle cannot be used during the repair period because of an accident caused by someone else, you may be legally entitled to claim compensation from the at-fault party or their insurance company for the loss of use.

For example:

  • A vehicle used for commuting to and from work
  • A vehicle used to transport children to and from school or other activities
  • A vehicle used for business purposes
  • A vehicle used to meet or transport clients
  • A vehicle used in the company’s day-to-day operations

When a vehicle cannot be used, the owner inevitably suffers inconvenience or financial loss. Accordingly, the law allows an injured party to claim compensation for such loss, subject to the facts of the case and the applicable legal principles. 

Why Do So Many People Unknowingly Lose Their Legal Rights? 

Based on the experience of Wongsakorn Law Firm, many accident victims focus primarily on getting their vehicle repaired as quickly as possible.

However, during the repair and insurance claims process, they are often asked to sign several documents. Many people simply assume:

  • “I’ll just sign it first.”
  • “The insurance representative told me to sign it.”
  • “It probably won’t affect anything.”

Unfortunately, when they later attempt to claim Loss of Use Compensation, those previously signed documents may become a point of dispute or be relied upon in the claims process.

This is why it is essential to carefully read and fully understand any document before signing it. A seemingly routine signature may later have significant implications for your legal rights and entitlement to compensation.

Key Point to Know: Insurance Companies Have Legal Support from Lawyers from the Very Beginning.

From the perspective of Lawyer Arm Supasit Siri, insurance companies operate through established procedures, internal systems, and with the support of legal counsel who provide advice throughout the claims process.

By contrast, most consumers are dealing with a traffic accident for the first time and may not fully understand their legal rights or the legal implications of the documents they are asked to sign.

Seeking legal advice is therefore not about creating unnecessary conflict. Rather, it enables injured parties to fully understand their rights and make informed decisions based on a complete understanding of the legal consequences before signing any document or proceeding with an insurance claim.
If You’re Involved in a Car Accident, Consult a Lawyer from Day One 

Many people wait until a dispute arises with an insurance company before seeking legal advice.

However, based on the experience of Wongsakorn Law Firm, obtaining legal guidance immediately after a traffic accident allows the matter to be handled in a structured and strategic manner, helping to protect your legal rights from the outset. This may include:

  • Preserving and collecting relevant evidence
  • Communicating and dealing with the insurance company
  • Reviewing documents before signing
  • Monitoring the vehicle repair process
  • Protecting your right to claim Loss of Use Compensation
  • Assessing the damages you may be entitled to recover under applicable law. 

Planning from the outset can significantly reduce the risk of unintentionally losing your legal rights.

A traffic accident does not end once the vehicle is sent for repairs. It may involve several legal rights that an injured party is entitled to pursue, particularly Loss of Use Compensation and Diminution in Value claims. Unfortunately, many people unknowingly compromise these rights by signing documents without fully understanding their legal consequences.

If you are currently experiencing issues with an insurance company—such as being asked to sign documents, agreeing to wait for spare parts, dealing with repair delays, claiming Loss of Use Compensation, or seeking compensation for your vehicle’s diminished value—do not rush to sign any document before carefully reviewing its contents. Understanding the legal implications in advance can help protect your rights and avoid unnecessary disputes later.

Wongsakorn Law Firm is ready to provide legal advice and help you develop an appropriate legal strategy from the very first day after a traffic accident. Our goal is to ensure that you fully understand your legal rights and can make informed decisions at every stage of the claims process.

Rather than waiting until a dispute arises, early legal planning can significantly reduce the risk of unintentionally losing the rights and compensation to which you may be legally entitled.

The Viral “Pink Mattress, Doraemon Pillow” Case and the Leaked Video Online: Lawyer Arm Explains Why You Should Consult a Lawyer First

Posted on by wongsakornsiri

Jul

The recent “Pink Mattress, Doraemon Pillow” news, involving the publication of individuals’ private videos and images through online media, has attracted widespread public attention over the past week. It has led many people to ask what rights victims have when such an incident occurs and whether those who publish another person’s videos or images may be held legally liable.

From the perspective of Lawyer Arm Supasit Siri of Wongsakorn Law Firm, the most important thing is to separate emotions from legal considerations. Such incidents often arise from anger, emotional pain, or conflict within a relationship. However, once one party’s private videos or images are published on the internet, the legal consequences may be more serious than many people expect. 

Publishing a Leaked Video Is No Longer Merely a Private Matter

From a legal perspective, once an image or video is uploaded to a computer system or published through social media, regardless of the platform, such content can quickly be copied, forwarded, reproduced, and/or further distributed. Even if the person who posted it later deletes it, the damage has already occurred.

In cases like this, the conduct may involve violations of several laws, depending on the facts of the case. These may include laws relating to computer-related offences, violations of personal rights, or civil claims for damages. Each case must be assessed based on the available evidence and its specific circumstances. 

Anger Is Not a Legal Excuse

Many people believe that after being cheated on, deceived, or emotionally hurt, they can record a video, take photographs, and expose the other person’s private information out of anger to shame them publicly. However, under the law, feelings of anger or disappointment do not make such conduct lawful, nor do they exempt a person from legal responsibility. They also cannot be used as a justification by claiming that the act was committed in anger or in a moment of impulse.

A decision made in a moment of impulse may lead to legal proceedings and may also result in liability for damages if the act causes harm to the other person’s reputation, privacy, or daily life. 

Why Should You Consult a Lawyer as Soon as a Problem Arises?

Based on the experience of Lawyer Arm Supasit Siri from Wongsakorn Law Firm, in many cases the damage can be significantly reduced. Even if you are the one who has been cheated on, you are more likely to remain in a stronger legal position if you seek legal advice from a lawyer before deciding to take any action.

In reality, a lawyer’s role is not limited to representing clients in court. It also includes providing legal advice, assessing legal risks, planning how to collect and preserve evidence, and helping clients find the most appropriate solution for each situation. 

In many situations, whether the dispute arises within a family, a relationship, or a business, receiving proper legal advice from the beginning can prevent the problem from escalating into legal proceedings.

What Should Victims Do? 

If you discover that your private videos or images have been published without your permission, you should immediately preserve evidence, such as screenshots, website links, the date and time the content was found, and any relevant chat messages.

After that, you should consult a lawyer to assess the appropriate course of action, whether it involves requesting the removal of the content, taking legal action, or seeking compensation in accordance with your legal rights. 

The Law Can Protect You If You Start the Right Way

Today, cases involving leaked videos and violations of privacy are becoming increasingly common as online media usage continues to grow. A decision made in a moment of emotion may have long-term consequences for both the person who publishes the content and the victim.

If you are facing a dispute involving videos, private images, or the publication of information online, whether you are the victim or are unsure whether your own actions may have legal consequences, consulting a lawyer from the outset will help you understand your rights, obligations, and the most appropriate course of action.

Wongsakorn Law Firm provides legal consultation on online cases, privacy rights violations, and related disputes, helping clients develop a careful legal strategy and protect their rights in accordance with the law.

What Can You Do If Your Ex-Partner Leaks Your Private Video? Lawyer Arm Explains the Root Cause of the Problem Through the High-Profile Case in Which Cyber Police Arrested a Photographer Specializing in Student Photography for Leaking His Ex-Girlfriend’s Private Videos.

Posted on by wongsakornsiri

The unauthorized release of private videos remains one of the most serious forms of cybercrime causing severe harm to victims in today’s digital age. Students, university students, influencers, and ordinary people can all become victims. Once private photos or videos are published online, the damage often extends far beyond the internet, affecting the victim’s education, career, reputation, and mental well-being for a long time.

Following the widely reported case in which a suspect was arrested under a court-issued warrant for allegedly distributing obscene computer data, and after Cyber Police announced the results of the operation on 9 July 2026, many people have once again turned their attention to the problem of private video leaks and the unauthorized distribution of personal photos or videos.

Lawyer Arm Supasit Siri Explains How the Private Video Leak Case Began

After a victim contacted Lawyer Arm Supasit Siri for help because a former partner had distributed and sold the victim’s private videos without consent, Lawyer Arm began verifying the facts and gathering information. The matter was later expanded into an investigation and became a case that attracted public attention.

According to Lawyer Arm Supasit Siri, the widely reported case began with a university student at the University of Phayao whose former partner secretly recorded intimate videos and sold them on the online platform X (formerly Twitter). After discovering that the videos were being sold, Lawyer Arm became determined to identify the person behind the account. During the investigation, he found another victim who had experienced the same situation. He then worked with Pol. Maj. Gen. Wiwat Khamchamnan, Deputy Commander of the Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau (CCIB), planned the arrest. Lawyer Arm further explained that cases of this nature involve violations of personal rights. Victims may therefore seek civil compensation for the damages they have suffered. Based on his experience handling similar cases, compensation in such cases can be substantial.

Based on the experience of Lawyer Arm Supasit Siri from Wongsakorn Law Firm, many private video leak cases do not begin with hacking or computer data theft. Instead, they often begin with a personal relationship between two people.

In many cases, the videos or photos were created during a period of love, trust, and mutual confidence. At that time, neither person expected that the relationship would one day come to an end, develop problems, or that those private files would later be used in a way that caused harm.

When a relationship changes, information that was once private can become a tool for blackmail, harassment, or causing harm to the other person.

A Private Video Leak Is Not Just Embarrassing—It Is Also a Legal Rights Issue

Many people mistakenly believe that once a private video has been leaked, the victim has no choice but to accept what happened or simply let the matter fade away. In reality, however, publishing another person’s private photos or videos without permission may constitute several legal offences, depending on the facts of each case.

In addition to possible criminal liability, victims may also have the right to claim civil compensation from the person responsible for the harm, especially when the disclosure affects the victim’s reputation, career, education, or mental well-being.

Based on Wongsakorn Law Firm’s experience in handling such cases, the damages involved can be significant because they directly affect the victim’s privacy rights and reputation.

Why Are So Many Victims Afraid to Take Legal Action?

One of the biggest concerns is that many victims choose to remain silent because they fear being judged by society, worry that their families may not accept what happened, or believe that taking legal action will only cause the incident to receive even more attention.

In reality, many victims have done nothing wrong. They are simply victims of violations of their privacy rights.

The longer the delay, the greater the risk that important evidence may be lost. At the same time, the offender may continue to distribute the content through additional channels, causing the damage to spread even further.

For this reason, seeking advice from a legal professional as early as possible is extremely important.

What Should You Do If You Become a Victim of a Private Video Leak?

If you discover that your private photos or videos have been published without your permission, the first thing you should do is remain calm and collect as much evidence as possible.

Examples of evidence that should be preserved include:

  • Screenshots of the posts or websites
  • The URL links where the content was published
  • Relevant chat messages or conversations
  • Evidence of threats or demands for benefits or money
  • The names of relevant witnesses

Having sufficient evidence will make legal proceedings more effective. Victims should also consult a lawyer as soon as possible, as a lawyer can carefully plan the legal strategy before a formal police complaint is filed

In the Digital Age, Personal Data Is More Vulnerable Than Many People Realize

Today, photos and videos are no longer stored only on mobile phones. They may also be stored on cloud services, messaging applications, and various online storage platforms.

This means that once personal data exists in digital form, the risk of it being copied, shared, or distributed without authorization becomes much higher.

Even if the other person is your partner, a close friend, or someone you trust completely at that point in your life, no one can predict with certainty that problems will never arise in the future.

Therefore, the best way to protect yourself is to be cautious from the beginning when creating or storing sensitive personal data.

Consult a Lawyer Before Taking Action to Protect Your Rights More Effectively

Every private video leak case is different. Some cases involve the unauthorized disclosure of personal information, some involve blackmail or extortion, while others may involve the misuse of personal data for other unlawful benefits.

Seeking legal advice from the beginning helps victims understand their legal rights, learn how to preserve evidence properly, and develop an appropriate legal strategy based on the facts of their case.

If your private photos or videos have been shared without your permission, or if someone is threatening you by using your personal information, you can consult Wongsakorn Law Firm or Lawyer Arm Supasit Siri to discuss the appropriate legal approach and protect your rights under the law. The sooner you receive accurate legal advice, the greater your chances of minimizing the damage and protecting your legal rights.

Cyber Police Arrest Photographer Specializing in University Student Photography for Leaking His Ex-Girlfriend’s Private Videos with Links to Online Gambling Websites; Lawyer Arm Warns: Don’t Record Intimate Videos While in a Relationship.

On 9 July 2026, officers from the Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau, led by Pol. Maj. Gen. Wiwat Khamchamnan, Deputy Commissioner of the Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau, together with commanders and officers from several agencies, including CCIB Division 3, the Technology Crime Suppression Division (TCSD), and the Thailand Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force (TICAC), executed a search warrant issued by the Sakon Nakhon Provincial Court. The officers searched a residence in Sakon Nakhon Province and arrested a suspect under an arrest warrant in connection with offences involving the importation of obscene computer data and the dissemination or forwarding of such data. The case remains under investigation and is proceeding through the legal process.

During the search, officers seized several items related to photography and data storage, including cameras, memory cards, a laptop computer, USB flash drives, and mobile phones, for further examination as evidence. Police said the investigation is being expanded to determine whether there are additional victims or other individuals involved. Authorities are also examining financial transactions and any conduct that may be linked to other criminal offences. If further evidence is found, legal action will be taken in accordance with the law.

The case began when several victims sought assistance after being threatened that their private photos or videos would be made public, or after discovering that their photos had been shared without their consent. Some victims also found that their images had been used in advertisements for online gambling websites. As a result, many suffered serious harm to their reputation, education, employment, and mental well-being, leaving them afraid to live their lives as normal.

In this case, Lawyer Arm Supasit Siri of Wongsakorn Law Firm has begun assisting the victims since the early stage of the legal proceedings. He provided legal advice, helped plan the collection of evidence, and coordinated with the relevant authorities to ensure that the case was handled as thoroughly as possible. Lawyer Arm revealed that the case initially began when several university students from northern Thailand sought legal assistance after being threatened with the release of their intimate photos and private videos. As the facts were investigated, the matter gradually developed into a more complex case.

Drawing on his experience in assisting victims, Lawyer Arm said that crimes of this nature no longer end with the release of intimate photos or videos. In many cases, such content is later used for blackmail or commercial gain, such as promoting illegal websites or extorting money from victims. Many victims are reluctant to report these crimes because they fear being judged or stigmatized by society. In reality, however, victims are entitled to legal protection under the law.

Wongsakorn Law Firm has also found that more victims facing similar situations continue to seek legal advice. Many have been threatened by former partners, while others have had their private photos shared in online groups or used to extort money or generate profits for offenders. Lawyer Arm offered this advice: even when two people are in a loving relationship, taking private photos or videos may be done with mutual consent. However, once those files exist in digital form, they always carry the risk of being misused if the relationship comes to an end.

Another important misconception is that once a private photo or video has been leaked, the best solution is to stay silent and hope the issue fades away. In reality, such content may continue to spread across other platforms, be used for unlawful gain, or become connected to other criminal activities. Victims should not ignore the situation. Instead, they should preserve all available evidence and seek legal advice from a qualified professional as soon as possible to prevent further harm.

Wongsakorn Law Firm, led by Lawyer Arm Supasit Siri, reaffirms its commitment to assisting victims of all forms of online crime, including threats involving intimate images, being blackmailed, the unauthorized use of personal images, and other violations of online rights. Anyone who believes they have become a victim should not face the situation alone. They are encouraged to consult a lawyer as early as possible to develop an appropriate legal strategy and carefully plan each step of the legal process. A well-prepared legal strategy is the key to protecting victims’ rights and bringing offenders to justice.

2026 Scam Alert: Call Center Scam Gang Impersonates a Mobile Network Provider, Tricks Victims into Filing a Police Report Before Transferring the Call to a Fake Police Officer.

Posted on by wongsakornsiri

Jul

Scammers are constantly evolving their methods of deception, especially call center scam gangs. Unlike in the past, when they simply pretended to be police officers or government officials, they now operate through carefully planned schemes, creating convincing stories, using official terminology, and manipulating victims into believing they are suspects in a criminal investigation.
Recently, Wongsakorn Law Firm encountered a real-life incident involving one of our own employees, who nearly became a victim of such a scam. Had the employee not noticed the warning signs and remained calm, the consequences could have been far more serious. We are sharing this case as a real-life example to help the public recognize and stay alert to the latest call center scam tactics emerging in 2026.

The Beginning of the Scam 

The scam began when a fraudster called an employee of Wongsakorn Law Firm, claiming to be a representative from a mobile network service provider.
The caller stated that a mobile phone number had been registered and activated in a certain province, and that hundreds of complaints had been filed alleging that the number had been sending SMS messages containing links to online gambling websites. The caller then asked the employee to verify whether they were the owner of the number. Our employee immediately denied ever registering or using such a number and confirmed that it did not belong to them.

The Scammers Begin to Build Credibility
The caller then began asking for additional information, such as another phone number the employee had previously used, and recited part of the employee’s national ID number to verify their identity.
At first, the scammer provided information that was inaccurate. However, shortly afterward, they returned with the correct details and repeatedly mentioned them to make the story appear more credible.

The scammer then claimed that the phone number in question had been registered at a shopping mall in another province, specifying both the location and the registration date. They advised the employee to file a police report at the local police station where the number had supposedly been registered. When the employee explained that traveling there was inconvenient, the scammer offered to coordinate everything on their behalf.

The Key Tactic Used by the Call Center Scam Gang 

The next step is where many people are likely to be deceived.

The scammer claimed they would help contact the police and instructed the employee on how to file a police report. They further explained that after filing the report, several documents—such as the police daily report and other supporting evidence—would need to be obtained and submitted to the mobile network provider for further action.
During the conversation, the phone connection repeatedly became unstable. The scammer then claimed they needed time to check the mobile network signal and said they would call back shortly.
Not long afterward, another call came in from someone claiming to be a representative of the mobile network provider. This caller repeated the same information several times, making the victim believe that the case was genuinely being processed by multiple agencies as part of an official investigation.
Transferred to a Fake Police Officer 

After gaining a certain level of trust, the scammer transferred the call to another person who claimed to be a police officer.

The fake officer asked what the employee intended to report and spoke in a serious, authoritative tone.

However, our employee began to notice several suspicious signs and asked a colleague to take over the conversation.

When the colleague questioned the caller by asking for the officer’s name and other identifying details, the fake police officer responded defensively:

• Are you a scammer?
• Are you trying to trick me into revealing officers’ information?
• Don’t you have anything better to do?

Realizing that their deception had been exposed, the scammers quickly ended the conversation and instructed the employee to hang up after the employee stated that they would go to the police station in person.

Why Do Scammers Use This Tactic?
Based on the experience of Wongsakorn Law Firm, today’s call center scam gangs no longer rush victims into transferring money immediately.

Instead, they first create fear and confusion by using tactics such as:

  • Claiming that the victim is involved in a criminal case
  • Claiming that there are numerous victims connected to the case
  • Claiming that phone numbers have been registered under the victim’s name
  • Using excessive official or legal terminology
  • Repeating the same statements over and over until the victim becomes confused
  • Claiming that they will coordinate and handle everything on the victim’s behalf

Once the victim begins to trust them, the scammers move on to requesting personal information or persuading the victim to follow their instructions.

Older adults, young people, and individuals with little or no experience reporting incidents to the police may be more vulnerable to these scams than the general public.

What Should You Do If You Receive a Call Like This? 

If someone calls claiming to be an official from a government agency or another organization and tries to pressure or intimidate you, stay calm and follow these precautions:

  • Do not provide your personal information immediately.
  • Do not trust the caller simply because they know some of your personal details.
  • Do not follow instructions or take any action over the phone right away.
  • If you are unsure, hang up and contact the agency directly through its official communication channels.
  • If the caller claims they will transfer your call to the police or another government agency, be especially cautious. Government agencies generally have their own official procedures for contacting the public and do not typically transfer calls in this manner.

If You Become a Victim of an Online Scam, Consult a Lawyer Immediately

Hai Arpaporn Nakornsawan Warns of AI Deepfakes Used to Promote Online Gambling Websites Don’t Let Victims Become Suspects

Artificial intelligence (AI) is playing an increasingly important role in our daily lives. It can generate images, edit videos, and even replicate a person’s voice. However, the same technology is also being misused, particularly to create fake videos promoting online gambling websites, leaving many well-known public figures as victims. 

One of the victims who came forward to warn the public and held a press conference to clearly address the legal case is Hai Arpaporn Nakornsawan, a well-known Thai singer. She became a victim of AI technology being used to fake her face, clone her voice, and create moving images of her, in order to produce promotional videos persuading people to gamble on online gambling websites, even though she herself has never had any involvement with online gambling. 

“If these skills were used for good, our country would be a much better place.”

This was one of the remarks made by Hai Arpaporn Nakornsawan during the press conference after discovering that her image and voice had been used to create AI-generated fake videos. 

These brief remarks reflect how unfortunate it is that a technology capable of benefiting society has instead been used to deceive the public and cause harm to others. 

The investigation found that the fake videos were highly realistic. The facial features, voice, and mannerisms closely resembled the real person, leading many people to believe they were authentic. Some videos were estimated to be about 80% similar to the real person, causing many viewers to mistakenly believe that Hai Arpaporn Nakornsawan was the one promoting online gambling websites. 

How the AI Identity Impersonation Case Began

At the press conference, Hai Arpaporn Nakornsawan revealed that she first discovered fake videos using her image in 2025. 

At first, many fans sent her fake videos. After confirming that her image, voice, and likeness had been used without her permission, Hai Arpaporn Nakornsawan immediately sought legal advice from Lawyer Arm Supasit Siri of Wongsakorn Law Firm to plan the appropriate legal action. 

Over the past six to seven months, evidence has been continuously collected, relevant information has been monitored, and legal procedures have been carried out in accordance with the law to protect the victim’s rights and prevent further damage. 

From Victim to Nearly Becoming the One Under Investigation 

The biggest concern in cases like this is not simply the unauthorized use of someone’s image. More importantly, many people may mistakenly believe that the person in the image is actually involved with an online gambling website. 

Hai Arpaporn Nakornsawan said that quite a number of people believed she had actually promoted online gambling websites. In reality, however, she had never accepted any advertising work of that kind and had never encouraged the public to participate in online gambling.

Misunderstandings like this can directly damage a person’s reputation, credibility, and public image that has been built over decades.

Online gambling operators had contacted Hai Arpaporn Nakornsawan directly. In every case, she immediately referred the matter to Lawyer Arm Supasit Siri

Ms.Hai revealed that, based on her past experience, people associated with online gambling operations had attempted to contact her personally. 

However, Ms.Hai chose not to negotiate, bargain, or handle the matter on her own.

Instead, every case was referred to Lawyer Arm Supasit Siri, who handled all legal proceedings on her behalf.

This decision helped reduce the risk of any communication being misinterpreted and ensured that every step was handled through the proper legal process. 

Scammers Use Every Means to Evade Legal Responsibility

Information obtained during the legal proceedings indicates that the offenders often operate as organized groups, with each member taking on a specific role.

In some cases, mule accounts registered under other people’s names are used, or minors are recruited to open bank accounts, making it much more difficult for authorities to trace those responsible. 

In addition, some offenders attempt to fabricate stories to gain sympathy from victims or other related individuals. In reality, however, these actions are often carried out by organized criminal networks operating under carefully planned schemes.

For this reason, effective legal action requires thorough evidence collection and a carefully planned legal strategy. 

Without proper planning from the outset, victims may suffer far greater consequences than they realize.

Lawyer Arm Supasit Siri commented

In technology-related crime cases, the most important thing is not simply reporting the case to the police as quickly as possible, but planning the legal strategy from the very beginning.

In many cases, if victims take action without proper preparation, they may lose the opportunity to preserve and collect crucial evidence, or misunderstand key facts of the case. 

Hai Arpaporn Nakornsawan’s case clearly demonstrates that without a systematic approach from the very beginning, victims may find themselves misunderstood by the public. In some cases, they may even spend a long time proving their own innocence. 

If your image has been manipulated by AI or used to promote online gambling websites, don’t wait until the situation gets worse consult a lawyer immediately

Today, AI technology is capable of generating increasingly realistic images, voices, and videos. As a result, anyone including members of the public, artists, influencers, business owners, and public figures can become a victim. 

If you discover that your photos, voice, or videos have been used to promote online gambling websites, or have been misused in any way that causes harm, you should preserve evidence as soon as possible. This includes screenshots, website links, and the date and time the content was found. You should also avoid contacting the perpetrators directly before seeking legal advice from a qualified legal professional. 

Hai Arpaporn Nakornsawan’s case is an important reminder that anyone can become a victim of AI identity impersonation. The damage extends far beyond reputation; it may also affect a person’s career, credibility, and legal rights.

If you are an artist, influencer, business owner, or a member of the general public, and your image, voice, or videos have been used without your permission, or your identity has been misused to promote online gambling websites, do not try to handle the situation on your own.

Seeking legal advice from a lawyer at the earliest stage can help you develop an effective legal strategy, preserve and collect evidence, and protect your rights in the most appropriate way.

Wongsakorn Law Firm provides legal consultation and representation in cases involving AI identity impersonation, unauthorized use of images, and online gambling-related offences. Our goal is to help victims protect their legal rights and minimize potential damage in the future.

Hai Arpaporn Nakornsawan Speaks Out After AI Deepfake Used Her Face to Promote Online Gambling; Lawyer Arm Joins the Press Conference, Emphasizing the Importance of “Planning the Case Before Filing a Police Report.”

On 1 July 2026, Lawyer Arm Supasit Siri of Wongsakorn Law Firm, acting as the legal counsel for renowned Thai singer Hai Arpaporn Nakornsawan, attended a press conference at the Technology Crime Suppression Division 2 (TCSD Division 2) regarding a high-profile case that has attracted widespread public attention. The case involves the unauthorized use of artificial intelligence (AI) to create deepfake videos using Ms. Hai’s face and voice to promote online gambling websites. The unauthorized content has damaged her reputation and could mislead the public into believing that she is associated with those gambling websites.

At the press conference, the Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau, under the direction of Pol.Lt.Gen. Surapol Prembut, Commissioner of the Bureau, assigned Pol. Maj. Gen. Chatphandakan Klaiklueng, Deputy Commissioner, and Pol.Maj.Gen. Siriwat Deepor, Commander of Technology Crime Suppression Division 1, together with relevant officers, announced the results of an operation against the online gambling network KFC888. The investigation found that the website had an annual cash flow of more than 2.5 billion baht. Officers also discovered that the network had used AI technology to generate images and voice recordings that imitated Hai Arpaporn Nakornsawan in advertisements designed to persuade the public to gamble online, even though she had never given permission and had no connection whatsoever with the website. The case highlights a new form of cyber threat arising from the misuse of AI technology.

Further investigation revealed that a Payment Gateway service provider was involved in processing financial transactions for the online gambling website. As a result, officers carried out search operations at two targeted locations, where they seized computers, mobile phones, and a large number of important documents for use as evidence in the legal proceedings. In addition, summonses have been issued to individuals connected to the case. The investigation is also being expanded to identify other members of the network, while authorities continue tracing financial transactions in order to locate and seize assets that may have been obtained through illegal activities.

Following the incident, Hai Arpaporn Nakornsawan shared a message with the public, especially those whose identities have been impersonated or whose images, voices, or personal information have been used online without permission: “Don’t be afraid to file a police report. Don’t be afraid to consult a lawyer. There is nothing embarrassing about it. If you discover that your personal information has been used without your permission, take action immediately.” Her message highlights the importance of protecting one’s legal rights and not allowing offenders to remain unpunished and continue harming others.

According to Lawyer Arm Supasit Siri, handling online crime cases today involves more than simply collecting evidence or filing a police report. An equally important step is planning the legal strategy and carefully analyzing the facts before entering the legal process. Decisions made at each stage of a case may affect its direction, the ability to identify and apprehend the offenders, and the collection of additional evidence later in the investigation. A well-planned legal strategy from the very beginning can improve the effectiveness of the case and reduce the risk of mistakes that may affect the rights of the victim.

Based on its experience in handling and advising on cybercrime cases, Wongsakorn Law Firm has found that many victims file a police report immediately without first preparing sufficient evidence or carefully planning their legal strategy. As a result, some may miss the opportunity to preserve important evidence or take certain actions that could benefit the case. For this reason, consulting a lawyer at an early stage is an important factor in helping ensure that legal proceedings are handled more effectively and thoroughly.

Wongsakorn Law Firm would like to take this opportunity to remind artists, actors, influencers, content creators, students, internet personalities, and the general public that the use of AI technology to create fake faces, voices, or videos of individuals for product advertising, fraud, or the promotion of online gambling websites is becoming increasingly common. If you discover that your identity has been impersonated, or that your image, voice, or personal information has been used without your permission, you should preserve all available evidence and seek legal advice as soon as possible to protect your rights and minimize potential damage.

Wongsakorn Law Firm would like to thank Hai Arpaporn Nakornsawan for placing her trust in Lawyer Arm Supasit Siri as her legal counsel in this important case. The firm remains committed to providing legal advice and representation in online crime cases, unauthorized use of images, AI-related impersonation and deepfake cases, and other identity fraud cases, with the goal of protecting the rights of victims to the fullest extent possible. If you are facing a similar situation, you should consult a lawyer as early as possible to develop an appropriate legal strategy before filing a police report. Careful planning from the beginning can help ensure a more effective legal process and better protect the interests of the victim throughout the justice system.

On 28 June 2026, Wongsakorn Law Firm proudly marked another significant milestone with the blessing ceremony for its new Building C, symbolizing the firm’s continued growth and organizational development. Under the leadership of Lawyer Arm Supasit Siri, Founder and Managing Director of Wongsakorn Law Firm, this expansion reflects not only the firm’s achievements but also its unwavering commitment to enhancing the quality of legal services to accommodate its growing organization and the increasing trust of its clients.

The blessing ceremony was graciously led by five Buddhist monks from Wat Suthat Thepwararam Ratchaworamahawihan, who chanted the Mahāsamaya Sutta to invoke blessings for the new office, its personnel, and all future visitors. The resonant chanting throughout the building created an atmosphere of serenity, faith, and auspiciousness, marking a meaningful beginning for the new office.

The firm was also honored by the presence of Phra Ajarn Khwan from Wat Thap Yai Chiang, Phitsanulok Province, who presided over a meditation and blessing ceremony. He also performed the traditional blessing of the office entrance and the building sign to invoke prosperity, success, and harmony for the firm’s management, staff, and clients. His participation was regarded as a meaningful blessing that inspired confidence and encouragement throughout the organization.

The ceremony was hosted by Group Captain Suphawit Thammasitthiruj, Chaplain, who ensured that every part of the event proceeded smoothly and with dignity. The occasion was filled with warmth, devotion, and unity among the firm’s executives, staff, and distinguished guests. Every moment reflected shared pride and optimism as Wongsakorn Law Firm embarks on the next chapter of its journey.

One memorable moment during the ceremony was the gentle rainfall that began as the rituals were taking place. According to Thai belief, rain during an important new beginning is considered an auspicious sign, symbolizing abundance, peace, and prosperity. Many attendees remarked that the rainfall felt like a blessing from nature, representing hopes for the firm’s continued growth and future success.

The opening of Building C represents far more than an expansion of office space. It stands as a symbol of Wongsakorn Law Firm’s ongoing commitment to organizational development, raising the standard of legal services, and continuing to serve both the public and the business community with integrity, fairness, and a steadfast commitment to the rule of law.
