An expert from True Corporation told the press con?ference that people should not share personal informa?tion on social media or use easy-to-guess passwords. The gang also set up a bogus job-offering page to have job-seeking victims work for them by opening bank accounts to receive money from the victims, which would then be transferred to the gang’s e-wallet. The job-seek?ing victims got paid at Bt500 to Bt1,000 daily for unknowingly breaking the law on the gang’s behalf. Many other victims were lured to buy cell phone SIM cards for “the job” while the gang used the victims’ ID card numbers to apply for e-wallets. Passwords for social media accounts should also be made difficult by not using phone numbers, birthday or student card numbers, he said.
