Ministry of Digital Economy Warns of Fraudulent 'Thai Job Creation' Page

On August 7, 2026, the Thai Ministry of Digital Economy and Society (MDES), through the Anti-Fake News Center (AFNC), issued a public warning regarding a fraudulent social media page operating under the name 'Thai Job Creation' (Thai Sang Ngan). The page falsely claims to be certified by the Department of Employment to lure users into providing personal information or transferring money.

This alert follows a directive from Minister of Digital Economy and Society, Chai-Chon Chidchob, who has prioritized the mitigation of technological crimes and the spread of misinformation. The ministry emphasizes that the page is not affiliated with any government agency and is a tool used by scammers to exploit unsuspecting individuals.

For residents and expatriates in Thailand, this incident serves as a reminder to verify the authenticity of any online platform claiming to offer employment services or government-backed opportunities. Engaging with such fraudulent pages can lead to significant financial loss and the compromise of sensitive personal data.

While the ministry has identified this specific page as a threat, it remains to be confirmed how many individuals have already been affected by this scam. Authorities advise the public to cross-reference any job-related claims directly with the official Department of Employment website or verified government channels before sharing personal details or making payments.
