Bumrungrad Hospital executives in Bangkok filed a complaint with the Cyber Police, targeting a fraudulent page that falsely claimed to represent the hospital in an online investment scam.

 

Atirat Ratanakijpipat, CEO of Bumrungrad Hospital, yesterday, January 30, along with the management team, met with high-ranking Cyber Police officials to initiate legal action against the perpetrators who created the fake page.

 

Swindlers impersonated Bumrungrad Hospital by using various data, including photos of the CEO, to create fake social media accounts on Facebook Page and Line applications.

 

These scammers claimed that the hospital was offering investment opportunities with quick and high returns, including the sale of stock funds. They often boosted their fraudulent posts on Facebook and instructed potential victims to add a Line account that they had set up.

 

Once contact was made, the fraudsters enticed their victims with the promise of lucrative investment returns. However, once money was transferred, the victims were unable to withdraw their funds, and eventually, the scammers would sever all contact.

Should be able to trace these back to an IP address?
