There has been no shortage of complaints about financial scams in recent years, ranging from selling non-existent products to promising to double the money for prospective investors in a short time.
Scams cost individuals billions of baht in estimated losses. The "Forex -3D" scheme, which surfaced several years ago and returned to public attention following the indictment of actress Savika "Pinky" Chaiyadej, is at its peak believed to have drawn up to 50,000 victims and total investments worth as much as 30 billion baht, according to the Secretary to the Minister of Justice, Acting Sub Lt Thanakrit Jitareerat.
