Loan App Scam Deposits 9,000 Baht Then Demands 7,500 Interest

A woman who merely registered on a loan app had 9,000 baht deposited without her consent, then was demanded to repay 9,000 principal plus 7,500 baht interest when she tried to return the unused funds. The case, shared on social media, illustrates a growing scam where predatory apps transfer money automatically and impose usurious rates, while victims cannot reach real operators and police are unable to identify perpetrators.

This happened before she even used the service — to the point of sheer shock. A woman downloaded a loan app, simply registered, and 9,000 baht was transferred to her instantly. She hadn't even applied for a loan yet. The real shocker came when she tried to return the money because she didn't want it, only to be told she must repay 9,000 principal plus 7,500 baht interest. On November 14, 2026, amid growing public outrage over illegal loan apps that lure users into registering then impose usurious interest — sometimes many times the principal — and harass those who don't pay, the Drama-addict page posted a follower's experience. After registering, the app transferred money before the user could take any action. When the user asked to send it back, the admin replied that repayment must follow the app's process: 9,000 principal + 7,500 interest. The user was stunned, regretted downloading the app, and found no way to reach a real person. She has discarded her SIM card for two months; the money remains unreturned because she never used it. Police merely logged the complaint perfunctorily, citing the absence of any identifiable person or entity to pursue. Source: Drama-addict.
