Investment scam: preserve the evidence first
Organise solicitation, chats, transfers, repayments and each person’s role before assessing suspected investment fraud.

The short answer
The size of a loss does not by itself establish wrongdoing. Review the information supplied, who placed the orders and whether the trades matched what was authorised. Verify suspected impersonation through official channels.
Start with the agreement, not just the price chart
Identify the product, operator, representations and your understanding of risk. Distinguish an alleged guaranteed return from an explanation of market information or potential performance.
Reconcile the account and orders
Match portfolio reports with confirmations, cash movements and order history. List unexplained transactions with dates rather than relying on one screenshot of the account total.
Verify the actual operator
The Thai SEC offers operator-verification and scam-warning resources. Access official channels independently. A chat containing a genuine company link does not establish the sender’s connection with it.
A useful review file
Preserve the information available at the time of the decision. Later disclosures do not establish what you knew on the trade date. Separate disclosure, instruction and discovery dates.
- Account and service agreements
- Solicitation, offering and risk documents
- Orders, confirmations and settlements
- Complaints and operator responses

Is a portfolio screenshot enough?
