In Bangkok, police and the government are calling for enhanced measures to combat financial fraud. Specifically, they are focusing on the 'Por Thip' scheme, which has already caused significant damage to citizens, including through job scams and claims on social benefits.

According to the Bangkok Post, victims of this scheme lost approximately 20 million baht due to fraudulent unemployment claims. The police also reported arresting suspects involved in fraud amounting to over 1.5 billion baht.

During a press conference, a police representative highlighted the need for increased control and accountability regarding financial schemes. He also urged citizens to be vigilant against suspicious offers and to report any suspicions of fraud.
