SEC revamps "SEC Anti-Scam Center" website into a one-stop public knowledge and assistance hub, expanding scam alert and tip-off reporting channels on social media



Friday 3 July 2026 | No. 143 / 2026


Bangkok, 3 July 2026 – The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has revamped the "SEC Anti-Scam Center" website—a central repository of information on investment fraud and scams—by consolidating the SEC's existing information, resources, and tools into a single platform to facilitate public access, providing one-stop assistance to the public. The SEC has also expanded channels for accessing scam alerts and reporting tips through the "One Step Ahead" campaign in collaboration with Meta Platform, Inc., to jointly strengthen efforts to prevent and block fraudsters’ channels more effectively.

The SEC has driven efforts to issue alerts on investment fraud and scams in a wide range of forms, including disseminating information to the general public through promotional materials in the form of video clips and infographics, relaying scam alerts for distribution through partner agency channels, participating in seminars nationwide with relevant agencies, as well as communicating through various tools developed by the SEC, such as "SEC Check First" and "Investor Alert," which enable investors to verify information and assess credibility independently before making investment decisions. The SEC has also coordinated with relevant agencies across both the public and private sectors, including launching joint campaigns with various platform service providers to intercept channels used for investment fraud and scams. Investors are now increasingly aware of and placing greater importance on checking information before investing, as reflected in the SEC's consultation statistics on investment fraud and scams for the first five months of 2026, which reached 3,939 times, an increase of 208% compared with the same period of the previous year.

 

Nevertheless, investment fraud and scams continue to pose a threat and cause harm to the public. To improve public access to the SEC's scam alerts and services, the SEC has continued to revamp the "SEC Anti-Scam Center" channel to serve as a comprehensive one-stop information hub on investment fraud and scams, covering assistance tools, tip-off and consultation channels, as well as educational content on self-protection against fraudsters, news, and scam alert announcements—all in one place. This enables investors to search for and access the necessary information conveniently, promptly, and in a timely manner. The platform is now available at https://www.sec.or.th/TH/Pages/SECAnti-ScamCenter.aspx

 

Mrs. Pornanong Budsaratragoon, SEC Secretary-General, stated that "The development of the SEC Anti-Scam Center as a central repository of information on investment fraud and scams is one of the SEC's strategic plans for 2026–2028. This initiative has been further developed into a comprehensive one-stop information hub and is driven by continuous proactive measures for the prevention of investment fraud and scams under the 3Cs framework, comprising Consultation, Communication, and Collaboration. This framework is designed to create a systematic and comprehensive mechanism for addressing investment fraud and scams in the digital world—from providing consultation and communicating scam alerts to coordinating with relevant partners—with a view to increasing the effectiveness of prevention and reducing the risk of the public falling victim to fraudsters."

 

Most recently, the SEC has launched the "One Step Ahead" campaign in collaboration with Meta Platform, Inc. to educate the public on how to protect themselves against online fraud and scams and to provide channels for reporting such threats on Facebook and Instagram, enabling the public to access SEC information through a wider range of channels. This initiative is among the proactive measures the SEC has pursued through collaboration with various online platform service providers to disrupt fraudsters’ activities, including blocking channels, screening accounts prior to the publication of investment-related advertisements, and removing fraudulent content from platforms—measures that will strengthen the public's resilience against financial fraud and scams and concretely advance investor protection.
