The office of Prime MInister has ordered the Office of the Consumer Protection Board (OCPB) to investigate the unregistered online entity that has been advertising the ability to reserve for COVID-19 vaccines in advance.

 

The secretary to the Prime Minister’s Office, Thanakorn Wangboonkongchana, said that, since there are no private companies in Thailand importing COVID-19 vaccines at the moment, this advertisement is probably a scam.

 

The website asks people to complete a form with their full name, medical details, and ask for a fee. The site, however, provides no indication that it has been authorized by Thai Food and Drug Administration to import the approved vaccines or to buy from authorized importers.

lin.ee   I see 'ee' is the country code for Estonia.

I'd guess someone registered it in the hope people would think it was Line?


Whether the money has gone there is another matter, but I'm sure it won't be seen again.

The scam was the government stitching up private companies so they couldn't import the vaccine, now we have to sit around and wait for them to pull their thumbs out from where the sun don't shine to get one.
