Cryptocurrency Investment Scam
Scammers in Thailand promote fake crypto investment platforms, Ponzi schemes, and fraudulent tokens targeting expats and tourists.
How It Works
Scammer approaches victim at social events, co-working spaces, or online expat groups
Pitches a 'guaranteed return' crypto investment platform or mining operation
Shows fake dashboards with impressive returns
Encourages initial small investment that shows 'profits'
Victim invests larger amount
Platform suddenly 'freezes' or disappears with all funds
Warning Signs
'Guaranteed returns' of 10%+ per month
Pressure to invest quickly before 'opportunity closes'
Unregistered platform — not licensed by Thai SEC
Referral bonuses for recruiting other investors (Ponzi structure)
Cannot withdraw profits easily — always an excuse for delays
