webfact Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 By Panithan Onthaworn Only commercial banks and securities firms can be granted licences to trade foreign exchange (FOREX) for investment, Thailand’s central bank reminded the public Friday, warning of scams by unauthorized and potentially fraudulent operators. An enticement to invest and speculate in FOREX with high returns often turns out to be a scam, said the bank’s assistant-governor Alisara Mahasandana. Alisara cautioned Thais “not to trust the investment invitation as not only is the business illegal, but also people are at risk of losing their money.” Full story: https://www.thaienquirer.com/34018/thai-central-bank-cautions-against-forex-scams/ -- © Copyright Thai Enquirer 2021-10-16 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow ASEAN NOW on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsari Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 In many respects forex dealing is a scam . Most small investors lose there deposits because of high gearing and inexperience. I have read that there are six large banks in the world that manipulate the market. Of course exporters need to protect there positions using forex .

The story is referring to several scammy promotions going round, in Thai language, on social media and advertising aimed at Thai people. That was not made clear by the article. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smiggley Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 If the bank knows about these scams then why do the police let them advertise on social media. Surely they should close them down and prosecute the offenders. Problem solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
