"Government spokesman" warns the public not to believe scammers who pretend to send messages to check the rights and conditions of 10,000 baht digital money, along with a picture of the Prime Minister, sent via SMS. Emphasizes not to click on the link to view it under any circumstances. Do not believe scammers. Confirms that there is no link to register for digital money. Mr. Chai Wachirong, spokesman for the Prime Minister's Office, warned the public not to fall for scammers who pretend to send pictures of Mr. Settha Thavisin, the Prime Minister, along with a message to check the rights and conditions of 10,000 baht in digital money via SMS. If the public receives such a message with a picture of the Prime Minister, do not click on the link to view it. If you click on it, the system will be locked. The scammers will drain money from your bank account, causing you to lose all the money in your account. Mr. Chai emphasized the warning to the people, especially the people in the Northeastern region. From the latest information, it was found that people in Roi Et Province have spread a message to check the rights and conditions of 10,000 baht digital money along with a picture of the Prime Minister via SMS, causing people in the area to fall victim to clicking on the link to view it. It later appeared that all the money in the account had been drained. 'The Prime Minister acknowledged the incident and expressed his concern for the people. He asked the public not to be fooled. If there is an opening for people and shops to register to join the Digital Wallet project, an announcement will be made through government agencies. Identity verification will be opened via the 'Tang Rath' application and the specified channels. There will be a thorough public relations campaign. If there are any other messages, it is fake news. I confirm that there is no link for registration for digital money,' the Prime Minister's Office spokesman reiterated. Source: Thai News Agency
