Alert: Be Careful About Emails Pretending To Come From Thailand’s Test & Go

[webfact]

 

A LoyaltyLobby reader forwarded us an email this morning (February 27) that appeared to come from the Thai Consular asking for information to confirm their application.

 

Sebastian already covered the issue of a leak or hack (read more here) that had likely exposed a database of Thailand Pass and Test & Go applicants that started to receive fraudulent emails pretending to come from the consular department.

 

You can access Thailand Test & Go website here.

 

Email From The Reader:

 

I got this odd email that is seemingly genuine in source (same domain/email extension as when I received my actual Thailand Pass).

 

This is odd as a scan/photo of my passport was submitted as one of the application documents.

Thailand Pass website was hacked several times, the first on 28.01, so already a month ago. 
the Ministry never admitted to data breach and never apologised, but put pop up warning on their website each time

How does that work? I see no https:// or http:// in any sender's email address.
