Police have arrested two men from Hong Kong with a sophisticated mobile tool for sending fake SMS (short message service) text messages to deceive victims into clicking malicious links.

Pol Maj Gen Sathit Prom-uthai, commander of Cyber Crime Investigation 3, announced on Tuesday that the arrest of the two suspects was made inside Siam Paragon mall at 6pm on Monday with cooperation from mobile-phone operator Advanced Info Service (AIS).

The two suspects were identified as Yip, 44, and Lee, 26.

Police say they found one of them carrying a heavy backpack that contained something called a mobile false base station, and four mobile phones.

A false base station, also known as a femtocell, is a device that can mimic legitimate cellphone towers.Sathit said his division was alerted by AIS that a possible mobile false base station was detected inside the shopping mall.

As a result, he dispatched police officers to check. Police noticed the pair of suspects walking together with one of them apparently carrying a heavy bag on his back.

Police monitored the pair for a while and saw them behaving in a suspicious manner, so officers identified themselves and asked to check the bag, where they found the false base station device.
