00:00Online shopping is not safe in Thailand.
00:03In the first four months of 2026 alone,
00:05more than 85,000 cases of goods and services fraud
00:09were reported with estimated losses of 1.3 billion baht.
00:13Now the government wants to make it harder
00:15for scammers to hide behind online ads.
00:18Starting November 1st, Thailand's new no ID,
00:21no ads policy will require advertisers
00:23to verify their identities
00:25before placing ads targeting Thai consumers.
00:27But identity verification isn't foolproof.
00:30Fraudsters are already using AI-generated documents
00:33and stolen IDs to get around similar safeguards.
00:36So will forcing advertisers to prove who they are
00:39actually make online shopping safer?
00:41Or will scammers simply find another way around the rules?
00:44Tune into The Signal across the nation's official accounts
00:47as we dive deeper into this investigation.
