The claim
ตอบ SMS เกี่ยวกับวัคซีนโควิด-19 โดยการกด "1" หรือ "2" จะทำให้เงินในบัญชีถูกดูดออกไปโดยอัตโนมัติ
Original review summary
The review found no evidence that a COVID-19 vaccine SMS asking recipients to press “1” or “2” had caused money to be automatically taken from bank accounts. It explains that pressing a number alone does not transfer money; scams may instead use it to prompt a follow-up, obtain sensitive information, or incur premium call charges.[S1]
Additional context
The review notes that scammers may use messages or calls to seek personal information or encourage victims to click malicious links; pressing a number alone is not described as directly draining a bank account. [S1]
It also says that in 2022, Thailand’s Embassy in Beijing warned about scams seeking people’s personal information during the COVID-19 outbreak, but did not mention money being taken after pressing “1” or “2.” [S1]
