'Ohkajhu' logo used in online scamA 75-year-old former civil servant has lost almost 24 million baht to an online investment scam that hijacked the name of a popular restaurant brand, the Anti Cyber Scam Centre (ACSC) yesterday. The man, according to ACSC deputy chief, Pol Lt Gen Jirabhop Bhuridej, responded to an advertisement on the Line app that falsely used the "Ohkajhu" brand to solicit investments. Ohkajhu is a Thai restaurant chain specialising in organic, farm-to-table food. The scammers promised quick, above-market returns, assigned a personal "coach" to guide him step-by-step and insisted he follow instructions strictly. The ACSC urges the public to exercise caution, noting that criminals often use known brands and logos to lure their victims.
