Bangkok:Scammers have been exploiting religious beliefs to deceive the public by selling scratch-off lottery tickets through a Facebook page. The fraudulent operation falsely claimed to represent "Luang Pu Sila Sirichantho," suggesting that the tickets had been blessed and offering numbers for gambling purposes.
According to Thai News Agency, the cyber police have successfully dismantled the Facebook page that was at the center of this scam. The operation has been active for over three years, with a total turnover exceeding 30 million baht.
The fraudulent scheme capitalized on the faith of individuals by misleading them into purchasing these tickets under the guise of religious endorsement. The authorities have taken action to curb such deceptive practices and protect the public from further exploitation.
