Authorities in Thailand just wrapped up a major crackdown on digital fraud operations. Dozens got arrested for running romance scams and fake investment schemes—the kind that promise ridiculous returns overnight. These operations typically target victims through dating apps and social media, eventually steering conversations toward "exclusive crypto opportunities" or "guaranteed profit trading bots." The bust highlights a growing pattern: scammers exploit the hype around digital assets to drain wallets. Law enforcement seized devices and records that reveal how these networks operate—scripted messages, fake trading dashboards, the whole playbook. Anyone who's been approached by a stranger pitching life-changing gains should recognize the red flags here. Real investments don't come with unsolicited DMs.

Oh my God, it's the same old story... Those who suddenly discuss investments while dating really need to reflect --- romance scam→crypto pump... This script is so old it could be published as a book --- Thailand law enforcement did a good job this time, but what about domestic? The "stable daily earnings" that are plastered everywhere are still flying --- Unsolicited DM promising huge profits? Even wonton soup wouldn’t believe that --- How many people would really go all-in just because a stranger said so... Just thinking about it is terrifying --- Wow, they even made fake trading panels—these people are really dedicated --- It's always the same routine. Just change the skin, and here they come again

A scam gets busted every day. These people really treat "getting rich overnight" as their business model... 99% of those who hit you up to talk about crypto on dating apps are probably this type.

It's the same old trick again. I keep wondering why there are so many projects claiming "guaranteed double returns"... Seriously, if someone you meet on a dating app gives you investment advice, block them immediately. This isn't just a risk warning—it's common sense.

Damn, these scammers are really outrageous, even making up things like "guaranteed profit trading bots"... --- Same old tricks—some stranger adds you and starts bragging about getting rich overnight. I’m already immune to that, haha. --- Thailand’s crackdown this time is pretty tough. I guess the domestic authorities will have to follow up too; too many people are still getting scammed. --- On dating apps, any random beauty adds you and immediately starts talking about crypto—you really need to be more cautious. --- The problem is, some people actually believe it. My friend fell for one of these schemes and still regrets it. --- Honestly, you can’t catch all these cases. The key is to educate users not to be so greedy. --- Nobody does something for nothing—who would chat with you out of the blue every day? Don’t you even have that much awareness? --- Scripted messages, fake trading screens... I’ve seen these tricks a million times. They just reappear under a new disguise. --- I’m curious how they manage to get so many people to believe them. How good at making things up do you have to be? --- Real investment opportunities won’t come looking for you. If they do, it’s a scam. Does such a simple logic really need to be taught?

Ha, another wave of scammers got caught. I’m so tired of this routine. --- Thailand acts fast, huh? What about here? Still seeing it everywhere every day. --- So, whenever a stranger tells you they can help you make money, just block them. It’s that simple. --- Seriously, those so-called "traders" on dating apps—nine out of ten are scammers. Who still falls for this? --- The way they script these messages is just unbeatable. How do people still believe in “guaranteed returns” nonsense? --- The entire Web3 space is a mess because of these people. Legit projects are getting demonized too. --- The data from these confiscated devices could probably fill several “Scammer Textbook” volumes, haha.

Another wave of scams got busted, and this time Thailand took some tough action. --- Trustworthy investments definitely won't reach out to you first... Wake up, everyone. --- When these kinds of cases happen every day, it shows there are still plenty of people getting hooked. --- Scripted messages matched with fake platforms, the whole operation got busted—so satisfying. --- I just want to know how many people have actually fallen for this kind of thing? --- In the crypto space, the legit players and scammers are always mixed together. --- Romance scams combined with crypto scams—this combo is seriously disgusting. --- The moment you see "guaranteed returns," you should run. No exceptions.
