Rachada also advised prospective investors to first verify SEC-authorised brokers and securities businesses on the SEC Check First mobile application.
“Carefully study the investment services or products offered. You may run into unauthorised or illegal service providers, who may scam or embezzle your funds,” Rachada warned.
She also said people with information on investment scams or fraudulent schemes should contact the SEC, DES or police. Complaints can be made through the 1212 hotline of the DES Electronic Transactions Development Agency, Facebook page DESMonitor, the SEC hotline 1207 or Live Chat on the SEC website or via Thaipoliceonline.com.
