Ministry of Digital Economy Warns of Fraudulent 'Thai Job Creation' Pages
Thailand's Ministry of Digital Economy and Society has issued a warning regarding fake social media pages impersonating the Department of Employment.
On August 3, 2026, Matichon Online reported that Thailand’s Ministry of Digital Economy and Society (MDES) issued a formal warning to the public regarding fraudulent social media pages operating under the name 'Thai Job Creation' (Thai Sang Ngan). These malicious accounts are reportedly using the official logo of the Department of Employment to deceive users.
According to the Ministry, these fake pages are designed to trick individuals into disclosing sensitive personal information or transferring money under the guise of employment services. The authorities emphasize that these pages are not affiliated with the government and are part of a broader effort by scammers to exploit job seekers.
For residents and expatriates in Thailand, this serves as a reminder to exercise extreme caution when interacting with employment-related pages on social media. It is advisable to verify any job offers or government services through official, verified channels rather than third-party social media accounts.
At this time, the full extent of the financial losses or the number of victims affected by these specific pages remains to be confirmed. The Ministry continues to monitor the situation and urges the public to report suspicious activity immediately to prevent further victimization.
