Popular Post nglodnig Posted February 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 27, 2022 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? ???? 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJack54 Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Love the intro...."hello" Report as spam. Nonsense letter. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post treetops Posted February 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 27, 2022 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. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtls2005 Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 How did these third-party scammers get the email addresses? Hack or inside-job? In other forums there are many sent by email addresses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheryl Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 It is fake and I have also been getting them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezzra Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topt Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 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....... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunjeff Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterphuket Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 I got this also twice, the Thai government is taking good care of its stuff again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyExpat57 Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Usually official websites/emails from Thailand have a ".co.th" suffix. This is a ".com" and raises immediate suspicion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoudHailer Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 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..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captpkapoor Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 I got the same and mistakenly responded. So far I have been safe, but it was a mistake to respond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
