Scammers posing as Thai Red Cross Society flagged in Phuket
A criminal group in Phuket has been flagged for attempting to scam people by posing as the Thai Red Cross Society on LINE and Facebook. The scam involves an OpenChat group on LINE where members are invited to donate money under the guise of the Thai Red Cross Society. The society has clarified that it has no policy of accepting donations in this manner. In addition to this, the Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA Phuket) has issued a warning about a scam operation targeting people on the island, and the Phuket Info Centre shared a photo of an alleged scammer impersonating a police officer from the Mueang Phuket Police Station.
