  1. Very true no one knows the circumstances and all different but hearing of families all over the world getting split up and not just here either.
  2. Yes, one wonders how many of these people out there and yes even those here legally are finding it more difficult with frozen state pensions ie meaning never getting one Baht increase in many years and yes bringing up a family. Posted on British overseas pension site on F/B if one is British and having to return to Blighty and is married must have property and also income of 19k or 20k Sterling and most certainly most do not and also for the first 2 years there is a huge surcharge to pay the NHS even though paid enough in to the system snd sbout 4k for the next 2 years. Some obviously have homes paid for but not in their name so it is like and I know this is an American person but yes even in other countries families are being split up coz of financial and health issues. Reading and hearing a lot more cases in this most unstable world we all live in.
  3. LOL Worgeordie and thanks and have often wondered and confused how they can talk for hours and hours in the Far East, Well Thailand and have wondered and asked what on earth do you talk about for 2 hours to one person and then start the process with another person. Yes my other point is that a friend was having his hair cut and yes the family had some very sad news and his wife got annoyed that the lady barber went out to get a food delivery from a "friend" and seemed to talk for a few minutes and my friend this is par for the course as just about everyone does this. Needless to say under the circumstances she was not pleased when she was told by a friend that even you do this sometimes and apparently who me? And just stated thanks 3 times and can see to a point. All ok and think it is a case of the truth. Thanks for the replies from other posts and no not on any weed or smokes and definately not on any alcholic drinks and LOL see what you can post under the jokes section. I was just stating the facts lol
  4. I am not having a go at any particular country but this has always baffled and amused us all. Ok just how I am feeling with a bit of experience of others too!!! 1/ Leave youe shoes outside while putting down the shutters when going out and people will think someone is in. 2/ You talk too much and think we can guess and Who me???? and some get angry for stating the truth but many do not say it directly to the individual but via a friend 3/ Don't say to much and yes a bit rich LOL 4/ on a busy road and no one else is at home and just go down to get some provisions and lock the door and a few minutes and some one comes back and forgets something and where were you? The logic was it only takes a few seconds to walk in and steal something. Yes logic or lack off is mindboggling and yes like the truth in the real world but you have to laugh and sure so many have heard or experienced this.
  5. Thanks all who answered my post and yes any site is potentally the target for the evil scammers but most of us have no choice but to have say internet banking and yes there is a lot of security and they always state the it is a safe site and information is encrypted and like Facbook if sending ID they say we encrypt your id and in some cases keep it secure for up to a year. Yes in the days gone by we had to supply the original documents like passports and drivers license but hearing more and more very technical hackers can open up bank accounts or drain your account and literally steal your id. Sad times but even with so much security your personal records can be scammed and year they only need your full name DOB and yes passport number to get loans in your name. We have no choice and very worrying as one does reads so much stuff of this. Please be careful out there and most of us are struggling out there.
  6. Mac and others I have today had confirmation that my id accepted by F/b and pressed getting in to my account but got a screen asking me for my emails which they have already and won't let me in Please what to do and gone on their long winded help? site Many thanks all
  7. mAC thanks for reply and I was not banned but they were not sure it was me on apparently allegedly a browser they do not recognise me on!!! Seriously Yes the 2 tier Id verfication and we all know very dangerous requiring a picture and DOB of a passport and drivers license and other things and people suggesting could get into your bank details. Yes we have no choice but to have internet banking and yes so many codes and security and agree with this but F/b then come back with a bog standard reply we can not see the details clearly and you have to try again. I actually use some of the sites for pensions and yes many do not possess an email address in Thailand but prefer the social sites and yes have special friens who do this but know can not keep in touch with them.
  8. Surely he was covered for insurance???? and on another topic if one is covered in the local hosptial and the facilities not enough to treat a patient and if transferred to another hospital who has the facilities then even if Thais they presented with a huge bill. I know someone who had this and my wife told me about it.
  9. Scubascuba3 Yes tried to do this as well but I have 2 email addresses which they have already and also the mobile numbers and would not accept them Did have some help before and yes it is getting dangerous what with too much personal information but now awaiting them and also managed to brighten my home computer screen. Believe it or not I do use certain sites and also some people do use it instead of an email address address and normally the reverse. Yes, provided a copy now waiting 48 hours but things are getting more security and yes agree but getting ridiculous and yes it is difficult to speak to a human these days. Thanks for reply and help and all of you
  10. Thanks for your help marin don't bother ok and how is your English or whatever ok
  11. Yes, I use this for certain pension sites and others and yes believe it or not many have no email accounts. Indeed I realise the need for security but how much and to retrieve your account is just about impossible and yes there are instructions on the problems but they do not answer the questions. Indeed have had trouble for the last month and yes there used to be an option to get 3 to 5 trusted friends to give you codes and this still comes up but then apparently it no longer is functioning. Then the two tier ID requirements and yes I confirm one can not take these off but also very dangerous asking for drivers license and passports or others with privte information on it. Even taking a photo from your camera it does not come out clear and Facebook state they can not read it after 2 days. Yes tried to set up a new account and another email and the same. I have asked on many sites for help and many having the same problem and I am also have been getting messages that you are using other browsers (I use Google Chrome) which we Facebook do not recognise as you being the person used. What to do and yes also been asked to wait 2 or 3 days but the situation the same. Any advise appreciated and it is a minefield and yes these days one can not ask a person as it is all automated. Thanks all

  13. So no WC being shown it appears and sure there must be rich people out there x 5 companies or people
  14. A very distant relative and yes they do thieve monies too and lie through their teeth stating it was a gift and not a loan and foul mouth members of the family. Yes even Thai families.
  15. Thanks so much and Edge done the trick to my surprise.
  16. Thanks Crossy and lol not that technical and yes did think about another browser and someone suggested this but you do hear and have witnessed it we do not recognise or is it you. But sorted via Edge to my surprise it worked and yes usually use Goofle Chrome but lol they all have their moods. Thanks and to everyone else and my family can survive another week, like most of us.
  17. Try and sometimes state using a browser we do not recognise but worth a go thanks
