Kasikornbank Files Complaint Over Fraudulent 7 Million Baht Transfer Slip
Kasikornbank has initiated legal action against individuals creating fake transfer slips using the bank's branding to deceive the public.
According to a report by Thai Post, Kasikornbank (KBank) has officially filed a police complaint regarding the circulation of fraudulent money transfer slips. The fake documents, which claim a transfer value of 7 million baht, illicitly utilize the bank's name and the 'The Wisdom' logo to appear authentic. The bank stated that these forged slips are being used to facilitate illicit transactions, often referred to as 'tea money' or kickbacks. KBank is taking this action to prevent the public from being misled into participating in criminal activities that violate both the Criminal Code and the Computer Crime Act. For residents and travelers in Thailand, this incident serves as a reminder to verify all financial transactions directly through official banking applications rather than relying on presented slips or screenshots. It is important to note that the investigation is ongoing, and authorities have yet to identify or apprehend the specific individuals responsible for creating these forgeries. The bank continues to urge customers to remain vigilant against digital fraud and to report any suspicious documents immediately.
