Someone I know told me about this system  introduced at the moo bahn they live for paying fees. 

 

First a strange letter was sent out explaining that the person who used to collect the fees had quit and instead fees should be paid directly to a bank account provided in letter and then you join a Facebook group and post a screenshot of the payment transfer.

 

No way to message this info privately . Has to be posted on the group so you basically see everyone's payment and name and if you know the moo bahn and your in the group you can figure out names and address's of everyone in the moo bahn.

 

On top of that the fee went up 20 baht.

 

Over 400 members of this group.

 

Anyone else know or use a system like this which appears to be an invasion of privacy?

You're very new to Thailand, aren't you?

Well, if out of all that, your concern is invasion of privacy, then I would like to offer you some beachfront property in Arizona. Quick sale.   Special price for you, my friend.

 

 

PS:  Sounds like a scam......

Just send the photo of your payment using the "Private Message function" of Facebook. Only the receiver will se it.

My Moo Bahn "Juristic Person" does the same, with the exception that they are hooked on LINE for instant notification but do follow through with a paper bill and or receipt placed in your home mailbox

..., and Zuckerberg.

You did miss the new about facebook, google and the others.

 

If you're concerned about that then ask, through the same channel back, for a mobile phone number and an email address - alternatively the fees can be collected in cash, against basic receipt, at your door step. Should do the trick! 

Once you have those details simply include them in your electronic payment 8-) 

Don't do it. Pay the bill in your usual way and inform the 'collector' by e-mail stating account into which paid Bank initials and last four digits of account should suffice, amount and date/time paid

It is so everyone can see that everyone is paying, not just a few. Nota big deal I would think.

Ours is pasted to notice boards  on A3 printouts  everyone can see whose behind with payments or not.

Quite a big deal if you haven't (and won't use) social media applications. Having stuff like that forced on you, only because most sheeple do use social media, to live in your own house is IMO pushing the boundaries.

I'm not sure the word "privacy" can be found in a Thai dictionary...

The term Sheeple has been about for a while now, so can't take any credit for it being a mistake. Or it being brilliant, I like the term a lot..................

So is that the reason for your "Sheepdog" (Alsatian) OR are you just a "Lamb"

 The term sheep actually refers to the wooly animal from which mutton is sourced, or Welsh girlfriend.
