    Digital Minister Urges Stronger Action to Combat SMS Scams

    The Minister of Digital Economy and Society is urging relevant agencies to intensify efforts against online scams, particularly those spread through fraudulent text messages. The public is reminded to exercise caution and avoid clicking on links from unknown sources.


    The Ministry of Digital Economy and Society (MDES) is coordinating with various agencies to crack down on scam text messages containing fraudulent links, as part of a wider effort to eliminate online scams.


    Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Economy and Society Prasert Chantararuangthong stated that scammers are increasingly sending these fraudulent messages, which often include links to applications used to steal personal information or commit financial fraud.


    The MDES is working with the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission, the Royal Thai Police, mobile network operators, and other relevant authorities to tackle this issue.


    Under the Emergency Decree on Technological Crime Prevention and Suppression, law enforcement officers have the power to direct mobile network operators to terminate service contracts with individuals responsible for sending these scams. Network operators are also required to provide information about the senders to aid in legal action.


    The MDES is encouraging the public to stay vigilant by avoiding links sent via text messages, not falling for false claims or offers, and avoiding hasty financial decisions. It is also recommended to verify the sender and the legitimacy of messages before taking any action. For assistance, the public can contact the 1111 hotline, available 24 hours a day.
