I just got this too - yes it is almost 100% certain it's a fake. It appeared in my Gmail spam folder. It's sending address is definitely dogy: Thailand Pass [email protected] via sendgrid.net. Looks like someone hacked the Thailand Pass mailing list - who'd have thought THAT was possible? ????

Love the intro...."hello"

Report as spam.

Nonsense letter.

Another thread on this!  Thailand Pass website even warns you that this domain is sending dodgy requests for info and how to recognise their real emails.

How did these third-party scammers get the email addresses?

 

Hack or inside-job?

 

 

In other forums there are many sent by email addresses

It is fake and I have also been getting them.

There are army of scammers sitting somewhere around the world trying their luck, enough if they get one out a hundreds of mails their'e sending they're happy...

[KhunBENQ]

Once they have the addresses hacked no one can stop them from trying.

Should one create a new separate mail account just for Thai government related stuff?

[topt]

I received one the other day (and I think one a few weeks ago)

I know it is blatantly a fake as not made any new applications since I arrived back 2 months ago.......

[khunjeff]

I got it as well, even though I used my Thailand Pass months ago... Google was wise to the scam, and automatically classified it as spam.

[Peterphuket]

I got this also twice, the Thai government is taking good care of its stuff again.

[HappyExpat57]

Usually official websites/emails from Thailand have a ".co.th" suffix.
This is a ".com" and raises immediate suspicion.

send me the email          use fwd to my address     dm me and i will give u address

[cheapcanuck]

Fake

[LoudHailer]

I'm certain it is a SCAM. I received one also. Thai government websites all have gov.th in the sent email address.

 

And look at the first word. Th for The. There are mistakes to be found in almost all scam emails.

 

It occurs to me these emails could be an inside job. The senders have our email addresses and KNOW that we have entered the kingdom on a Thailand Pass. ???? One can't help but wonder.....

[captpkapoor]

I got the same and mistakenly responded.

So far I have been safe, but it was a mistake to respond.

Hackers get hack into hundreds of reputable site every year. Not a big news anymore and nothing to be surprised at.

"probelems in the documents that you submitted to the embassy." Embassies don't receive these documents.
