Pheu Thai digital money giveaway sparks scam appsSompong: Beware of fraudstersThe Royal Thai Police (RTP) warned on Friday that online scammers are promoting false advertisements for the 10,000-baht digital wallet scheme, a policy proposed by the Pheu Thai Party. The fraudulent app tricks victims into believing they can receive the 10,000 baht in digital money if they install it. "The Public Relations Department also stated that the Digital Wallet mobile app is a fraud, aiming to embezzle money from its users," said Pol Gen Sompong. Once they have started chatting with the scammers, victims are instructed to register for the 10,000 baht in digital money. The digital currency giveaway is a Pheu Thai policy that the public has been highly anticipating since it became the leader of the coalition government.
