Thai Ministry of Digital Economy Warns of Fraudulent Lottery Refund Scam

The Thai Ministry of Digital Economy and Society (MDES), through the Anti-Fake News Center (AFNC), has issued a public warning regarding a fraudulent Facebook page titled “Thailand lottery Game Tips.” According to the ministry, this page is falsely claiming to be affiliated with the police and is inviting users to register for a service to recover funds lost to scammers.

Authorities emphasize that this is a deceptive scheme designed to steal personal information and financial assets from unsuspecting individuals. The ministry’s monitoring efforts, conducted under the policy of Minister Chaiyachon Chidchob, identified this page as a significant social security threat.

For residents and travelers in Thailand, this alert serves as a reminder to exercise extreme caution when encountering online pages that claim to offer government-backed financial recovery services. Official government or police business is rarely conducted through unofficial social media pages, and users should never provide sensitive personal or banking information to unverified sources.

At this time, it remains to be confirmed how many individuals have already been targeted or if the page has been successfully taken down by platform administrators. The public is encouraged to verify any suspicious claims directly through official government channels rather than engaging with social media advertisements.
