BANGKOK, 19 September 2014 – The National Credit Bureau (NCB) has warned the public to be aware of online fraudsters who claim that they are able to remove names of debtors on the NCB’s blacklist.
According to NCB Managing-Director Surapon Opassathien, there have been an increasing number of online scammers who offer credit card services, ATMS, and personal loans for customers who are unable to obtain loans since their names are on the NCB’s blacklist for defaulting on their payments.
Mr. Surapon, however, reiterated that the NCB has never made any attempt to blacklist anyone from obtaining loans. Instead, the NCB is simply putting the names of debtors who have outstanding loans on its database to keep a record about their credit history.
He advised members of the public to contact legitimate financial institutions in case they want to partake in any financial transactions or seek additional loan credits.
