Vaccine scams tout Chulabhorn stockPeople claiming to be officials from the Chulabhorn Royal Academy (CRA) have been using Facebook and Line accounts displaying a fake CRA logo to lure people into ordering Sinopharm's Covid-19 vaccine, defrauding them of millions of baht, a senior official at the academy told a media briefing yesterday. "We obtained information that the scammers began using social media accounts to deceive people after the CRA imported the first lot of Sinopharm vaccines. "They claimed to be CRA officials, but we had no clear evidence against them. CRA legal counsel Nakanan Ruamjai said the scammers had repeatedly closed accounts and opened new ones after each round of fraudulent preorders. Pol Lt Col Korawat said he would assign a working committee to decide whether to accept the case for investigation.
