In a world where the line between the digital realm and reality blurs more each day, staying vigilant is not just an option, but a necessity. Enter Pol Lt Gen Trairong Phiwphan, the determined and ever-watchful chief of Thailand’s Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau (CCIB). With an air of authority and a steely resolve reflecting Sherlock Holmes’ tenacity, the good Lieutenant General recently took to the digital streets—or rather, the venerable platform of Facebook—to sound the alarm about a perilous menace lurking in the shadowy alleys of the internet.
This menace, as highlighted by the astute and tech-savvy chief, comes in the form of 22 websites that should be altogether avoided, like an online Pandora’s box. The deceptive sites are notorious for masquerading as legitimate portals, tempting unwitting victims into parting with their personal information. Trairong’s cyber police have warned us with a tone of righteous indignation comparable to a hero in an epic tale, urging citizens to steer clear of these malignant pages lest they fall prey to the cunning traps laid by digital con artists.
Among the offenders are sites brazenly mimicking established brands and professional organizations, some even shameless enough to cloak themselves in familiar guises, flashing enticing promises of get-rich-quick investment schemes or too-good-to-be-true job opportunities. However, once curiosity—or the allure of a potential windfall—entices someone to click a link, they find themselves caught in a web more tangled than any spider’s silk.
Let’s take a virtual tour of the dreaded lineup, beginning with the treacherous ‘thaigrowthdigitalmarketing.cc’—a siren song for those looking to boost their online presence—and ending with the deception-laden ‘affilliiate.com/index/login’. Each link, deadly in its intent, quite literally lures the unsuspecting internet wanderer into the jaws of a cyber predator.

Amidst their relentless pursuit of justice, Lieutenant General Trairong and the cyber warriors of CCIB have managed to strike at the heart of these operations. Yet, as things stand, the elusive masterminds behind these digital ruses remain shadowy figures, orchestrating their swindles from afar, where Thailand’s jurisdiction finds its limits tested. Quite the international cat and mouse game, indeed.
To thwart further incursions and curb the threat, the CCIB heroes have proposed a defensive strategy: urging the powers-that-be to cut off access to these hazardous endpoints. In this high-stakes game of cyber chess, some of these deceitful sites take down their pages, only to resurface with renewed vigor, proving both the tenacity and ingenuity of cybercriminals.
The succinct message from Pol Lt Gen Trairong Phiwphan rings clear and true in the chaos of the digital age: Stay informed, stay alert, and remember to guard your personal information as though you were fortifying a castle against invaders. Let us heed the call and ensure that our online escapades remain both safe and delightful, unmarred by the touch of online tricksters.
These scams are getting out of hand, too many people fall victim to them without realizing it.
The internet is evolving faster than people’s awareness. Education should be prioritized!
True, but shouldn’t entities like Facebook do more to prevent these scams?
What about personal responsibility? People shouldn’t be clicking on suspicious links.
Is it just me, or does anyone else see the irony in using Facebook to warn about privacy concerns?
Exactly! Facebook isn’t exactly a bastion of privacy itself.
Well, it’s all about reaching a wider audience. Facebook is still effective for that.
I guess it’s the lesser of two evils if it saves someone from being scammed.
Articles like these scare me. How can I be sure my information is safe anywhere?
Here we go with another scare piece. This is just to get people riled up.
Not really. Cybercrime is a real threat, even if you haven’t been affected yet.
Still, it’s about personal choices. Be smart online, and you’ll be fine.
Ignoring the problem doesn’t make it any less real, especially when most folks aren’t savvy.
You underestimate the sophistication of these scams. They’re tricking even the tech-savvy!
I feel like we need better international laws to tackle these cybercriminals.
Easier said than done, buddy. Different laws in different countries make it almost impossible.
You’re right, but isn’t it unfair that they can operate with impunity?
The international legal system is a maze and protection for scammers. Real reform is needed.
What happens when these sites reappear in a different guise? Is blocking effective?
Not really, they just come back with a new site. It’s like playing whack-a-mole.
Then what’s the solution? Can’t we just track the creators and nip it in the bud?
It’s kind of sad that this is the state of our internet today. Once a place of exploration turned dangerous.
There’s still plenty of good. We just have to be more vigilant and shield ourselves better.
Some folks act like every click online will siphon their bank accounts straight into a scammer’s hands.
Paranoia isn’t the answer, but neither is being complacent. Balance is key.
Has anyone tried reporting these sites before? Does it even help?
Kudos to Pol Lt Gen Trairong! More leaders should take proactive steps like this.
Sure, but a warning alone might not stop anyone. More action, less talk!
Cybercrime is as organized as physical crime nowadays, and sometimes more so.
We need more transparency about how these scams proliferate in the first place.
The only way to truly be safe online is to assume everyone is out to get you. It’s sad but true.
Is it just me who thinks our data should be considered sacred and treated as such?
I hope one day we have better tech solutions to automatically detect and block these malicious sites.
