Facebook users in Buri Ram hit by new fake debt-shaming scam
Scammers in Buri Ram are stealing public photos and personal data from Facebook profiles to publish fake debt-shaming posts.
These posts falsely accuse victims, ranging from government officials to vendors, of defaulting on loans, severely damaging their reputations.
Each defamatory post includes a Line ID, baiting victims to make contact, after which scammers attempt to extract further personal details or extort money.
Police advise the public to secure social media accounts and refrain from contacting any suspicious Line IDs to avoid falling victim to this sophisticated scam.

Four evacuation centres ready for those fleeing fighting in Myanmar
Thai authorities prepare four evacuation shelters in Mae Hong Son's Sob Moei district for villagers and Myanmar people fleeing intensified fighting near the border.
Myanmar junta's daily air strikes near the Thai border have caused minor damage to a hospital and 18 houses in Mae Sam Laeb from stray shrapnel.
Thailand has increased security, requested a 10-kilometer safe zone from the Myanmar junta, and observed quiet cross-border trade due to escalating conflict.
