Lottery Plus freezes 282 suspect accounts in fight against fraud
Lottery Plus has successfully frozen 282 of the 308 suspect accounts in its ongoing battle against fraudsters. On November 4, Nott Panthavuth Nakwisit posted on Facebook detailing the progress made so far. Asserting that the authorities are taking the matter seriously, Nott continued by challenging the criminals to see who would be faster – them in creating new accounts, or Lottery Plus in blocking them.
Nott revealed that 282 of the 308 accounts identified were frozen.
“Our team has tested these accounts and confirmed that no further transactions can be made (evidence available in the comments section). We remain dedicated to tackling this issue. Our team of 30 people is working directly on this matter. We will be reporting accounts every Tuesday and Thursday.
“The 282 frozen accounts must have connections, from the girls to the account sellers and ultimately to the people buying the accounts for use. Let’s see who can act faster, you criminals in opening accounts or us in freezing them.”
In addressing customers, Nott emphasised the importance of only transferring lottery payments to the official account, Lottery Plus Co., Ltd. at Kasikorn Bank, account number 154-1-82583-1. He warned customers that there are no personal accounts or representatives and the account will not change. Thus, lottery purchases should only be transferred to this official Lottery Plus account, reported KhaoSod.
