Fraud victims can seek justice via online lawsuitsAn online shopper browses products offered on e-commerce platforms. Mr Chaiwut said Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha directed the DES Ministry to seek ways to help people conned by online shopping scams. The electronic lawsuits focus on civil cases to help online shoppers receiving incorrect products, Mr Chaiwut said. Mr Chaiwut indicated the DES Ministry and the Court of Justice are putting the finishing touches on the online lawsuit platform, which is expected to be operational later this month. Last year more than 20,000 complaints were lodged through the DES Ministry’s 1212 hotline in connection with suspected online trading scams.
