I found the channels FB page and just sent a message to confirm. Should be an interesting reply.

I would contact them via FaceBook messenger and verify if this is legit.
Are you a YouTube channel subscriber, did you actually enter any draw or competition?
Why are they using Telegraph not Messenger?
Are they Thailand based? If so, why are they calling in the middle of the night?
It definitely smells of a scam, but one never knows.
Yes I'm a subscriber to the channel. That is a good question as to why they choose some unknown app to contact them. I think you ay have hit the nail on the head.

Curious on how others would approach this I received notice yesterday that apparently I have won a motorbke through a drawing on the Motoscoop Youtube channel. Was told to contact them through the Telegraph app. So I gave it a go and they were trying to get back to me through the night. I let them know it was very early in the morning and would contact them later. The site itself seems legit as they are always showcasing the newer bikes about to be released. My first questions to them would be what model bike is it and will I incur any expenses in this transaction. Any input is appreciated.

I use Sportsurge as well.. I've only recently have had a problem connecting with Streameast (which of course was my favorite). The others I can still connect with. I use 3BB as my provider.

"The Fed is expected to deliver a fourth straight 75-basis-point rate hike when policymakers meet Nov. 1-2, the pricing of fed fund futures shows, according to CME's FedWatch tool."

I just bought a Honda Click 160 with ABS. Price in Chanthaburi was 74,000 baht cash. Exact same bike in Pattaya 93,000. Shop around.
That's interesting as I was quoted 72,500 at the Honda dealer on Thepprasit last week for the same exact bike.

You don't think well over 35 is good enough, or as good as it might get? I think it likely to roll back a little as tourism gets going again here.
With the way the federal reserve is aggressively planning on hiking up interest rates in the short term It wouldn't surprise me to see it reach 37 at some point this year.

The Visa rate has stayed at 34.92 for the last 4 days even though the published exchange rate has currently risen to 35.35 . Kind of makes you wonder about if some manipulation games are being played..
Much better today at 35.24

Since about Jun 15, '22 the exchange rate on both Visa and Mastercard have been rather poor in comparison to WISE. The usual difference is about .14 - .18 ฿ per $ but it has now risen to .25 - .35. Also, the two companies rates are not in lock step as before. VISA rate today is .3 below Mastercard.
I hope VISA and MC return to their better rates when the US $ is still relatively strong.
I'm glad I added a Mastercard option in the last few months.

How long before the customers realize they can get the same girls in the bars, online, minus lady drinks and bar fines?
I'm guessing that any lady involved in the P4P game has an online account somewhere in order to procure additional customers.

Baht comes roaring back today—up almost a full percent on the USD. Other westerns go down in sympathy . All hail the mighty Baht…
It's just a dead cat bounce after the rise the dollar has taken over the last few days.

Ya, I was surprised by the OP's mention of having a $500 limit on his Schwab debit card.
Most Schwab account holders, domestic U.S. based accounts, that I've known typically have the $1000 limit you mention here...
I believe that the $500 limit is per transaction. So the OP can do 2 $500 transactions totaling $1000 per day.

Anybody know of anywhere that does faxing services anymore? I've become eligible for a small pension back in the US. and need to send in paperwork and the only way stated electronically is by way of faxing. I'm in Jomtien and have tried the local Kodak shops along with a couple of other small shops around town and got no luck. I'm appreciative of any assistance.

7 hours ago, SAFETY FIRST said:My neighbor, Dutch guy who had a Thai girlfriend for around 18 months.
She decided she wanted to end their relationship and get back with her previous bf. She started an argument and stormed out. They had never argued, only had a disagreement once or twice but it was sorted out with no hostility.
Anyway, he let it go for a month, didn't contact her, he was hoping she would message him saying sorry.
He didn't receive any messages so he started to sms her (she blocked their Line account), he sent her 17 messages over 3 months, nothing nasty, just asking her out for a drink, beach, bars and restaurants. He told me the only negative comment was that her bottom was getting bigger and she should go to the gym. They live near each other and cross paths occasionally but she is rude and ignores my friend.
After 17 messages (3 months) were sent his ex-gf went to the police, the police came to his house that morning of the complaint saying my mate needed to go to the police station to talk, at the police station the cops told him to stop with the messages or he would be in big trouble.
A few weeks later, my friend had to return a scooter he hired from the local rental shop (foreign owner).
The foreigner (shop owner) came to my mates house to pick up the motorbike and return the deposit, my friend let him in the front yard for inspection but wouldn't allow the bike to leave his front yard until his deposit was returned.
The rental shop owner phoned a Thai woman, she entered my friends property and took the bike with force.
The shop owner and the Thai woman beat up my friend, lots of cuts and bruises (he had several cameras to capture the video).
My friend went to the police station to report the crime, gave the cops details and address of the shop owner and video footage, the cops made a report and were given clear video of the assault, they told my friend to go to hospital and the police would be in touch.
It's been several months since the assault, the cops have done nothing.
I told my friend to go to the media/newspaper and make them aware of the situation. My friend replied saying, they won't be interested.
My friend is the most peaceful, respectful human. I'm really p i s s ed off with this disrespectful attitude by the cops.
I feel like going to my lawyer and asking my lawyer to help my mate.
No offense but your friend seems rather obtuse. First of all his dealings with his ex-GF can come across as borderline harassment by continuing to call her 17 times and never getting a response back. What doesn't he understand? It wouldn't have surprised me to hear that he got an ### kicking from the ex-bf she went back to. Second of all the details are pretty vague as to why he was having the problems receiving back his deposit on the bike. I'm not saying he deserved a beatdown, but you got to wonder.

BMT is just being a little overzealous in his statement, but rest assured the boys in brown will look for anything they can in order to write you a ticket.

I have found an overwhelming consensus that Capitol One is the best bank for expats. Not Schwab. Open an account with them before you move.
This is news to me.. Would you mind expanding on this?

Looks like the USD broke through the 33.94 high and could hit 34 at any moment.

Went past Witherspoon's Beach Road today and it looks like it has bitten the dust.
I could be mistaken but didn't they open the BR location during the pandemic? If so I'd be curious about the thinking behind that decision.
