I tell them no have. Question is more about showing an ID card when paying a bill. Edited August 30, 2019 by Vacuum 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vogie Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 My wife normally pays our electric bill, but the last time I went down to Big C to pay it, he did ask for my phone number but as I cannot remember it he let me pay anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only you interpret that as making a haystack. What's different now than before when it wasn't be asked? Will it be sold? More AIS bulls**t where I was somehow subscribed to daily VDO text messages (in Thai) that had been deducting money from our phone credit all along, without our consent or knowledge? More Robocalls? They are an out of control blight on humanity in the US already, seems Thailand's catching on - I've gotten a few here. So, who's really asking for it and why?

topt Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 I have always been asked for my phone number when paying a bill at Big C - certainly over the last couple of years. Some months ago I reported they were also asking for ID as requested by the govt......... I think it is their interpretation as I was not asked when paying the leccy bill at the PEA office a couple of weeks later. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just the ordinay complaining. If it´s not TM30, then it´s the phone number in Big C. 1 hour ago, 55Jay said: Reasonable to question divulging personal information.

The Daily VDO rext messages are something you get for you, your wife or your kids registered or downloaded something from Internet, sometimes Youtube and it´s Google that gives them the info, or Facebook.

The point is you don't seem to know either, yet you want to downplay and dismiss someone who's asking a vaild question, because you're worn out and weary about internet whingers. Why continue to smash yourself over the head? Don't click. Don't weigh in. Save yourself from yourself. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohhhh, I rather doubt I'm the only one who gets it, so don't try to bootstrap by enlisting the anonymous masses without their consent.

josephbloggs Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 I'm pretty sure it is just as a way to track who paid what in case of dispute at a later date. This bill was paid here by this person at this time. Not worth getting worked up about. Pay it online then that information is already there because it is registered as being paid by your bank account so no need to enter your phone number or ID But wait, your bank already has your ID and phone number - another invasion of privacy!!

By using their shop to pay bills I normally buy a few things whilst I'm in their, which I assume is why they offer the bill-paying service. Snooping isn't part of the deal.
