Popular Post bondjames007 Posted June 29, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 29, 2022 As anyone experience unathorised transactions come out of their Bank Account or Credit Card ? I ordered items from Lazada yesterday, this time I received an sms from Thailand post. www.ethailandpost.top. to complete credit card payment for the postage. About 3.00 am, was woken up countless sms messages every minute, transactions taken from my credit card, 49 Euro each time, a company based in France. I called the bank immediately same time, and cancelled the card. Anyone else had the same experience in Thailand, if so the banks cancel the transactions. This has happened twice for me this year. No more shopping online from now on. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Yes, although mine were stopped by the two-factor authentication. Lot's of middle of the night SMS's asking for authentication, followed by a similar number from Citi Thailand asking for me to call Fraud Prevention (the phone sleeps on the lounge table, I don't answer at night). Oddly enough one transaction actually got through, no idea how, Citi cancelled it no problem although I did have to wait for the $40 someone had spent in the US. New card in the post job done. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard 2020 Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Yes, I've had it 3 times! But no problem, the Bangkok Bank credited all payments back to my account! For me, no reason not to shop online anymore, especially now that the certification on mobile has been added! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realfunster Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 I got hit last year, I am 90%+ certain the card details were taken when paying for a bill at a restaurant, as that was the only time I had used the card in the preceding few weeks, the card was out of sight for a few minutes and the fraudulent transactions started the day after. It's about time Thailand started using those roaming card readers, like you see in Europe, so payment can be made at the table. Some transactions got blocked but it appears the scammers knew some websites that didn't use 2F authentication and targeted those. All transactions were ultimately reversed/cancelled by Citi and no loss for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine were small amounts that actually were approved, woke me up with all the sms messages, stopped transactions when hit 40,000 B. Reported to Kasikorn Bank, so hopefully they too reverse the transactions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it credit card or debit card ? Mine were all small amounts from my credit card, I would of thought the banks can add OTP as a secruity even for small transactions.

CANSIAM Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Yes I had about 6 - 1200 baht charges on my Thai visa credit card from Facebook ads, have no idea how that happened, cancelled the card, bank credited the charges and sent a new card.....

pj123 Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 I found an unknown charge for 23,000 THB from Facebook on my Krungsri card on 17 June. Raised the issue with Krungsri same day, they cancelled card. Submitted an Investigation Request Form on 20 June. Debit refunded 27 June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was there anything specific in the SMS such as item description/order number or your name? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMS message from Thailandpost to pay for postage right after ordering the item on Lazada, I checked my item on Lazada and it wasn't shipped. So I thought need to pay for the postage on Thailand post to get it shipped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaiyaTH Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 (edited) That seems like a very dodgy and non official website and the IP being hosted in Marocco. In this case the setup could be that they either hacked lazada seller accounts or also pretend to be official sellers while then abusing it doing phising. You should contact the payment provider or processor they used to get them stopped I guess, then there is a chance you still see money back too.

ChaiyaTH Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Can you tell, what did you buy exactly? Maybe you can notice something special, like that lazada shop just being new or very big etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lopburi3 Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 As said above this does not appear to have anything to do with Lazada - just a spam message getting card details that happened to arrive after an actual order making you less cautious. There has been a lot of such recently. As for Lazada have my CC on file with them and have never had an issue. As also said most problems come when unknown people take card out of view and copy data - always remove 3 digit code if you use card in such a way (remember/write it down so you have it first). As for portable card readers they are available everywhere in Thailand - all your delivery services use them as well as hospitals/merchants. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hammer2021 Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 This week I got a call on my UK sim card about fraud and was asked to contact my bank with a number but I ignored the request and used a different phone and different bank number who told me there was no blocks on my account so they had not called. I researched the number online. Some people said it was a fraud number others that it was valid. The number began with 0808 which is a common scam number. A month ago a Thai number with a 0808 prefix contacted me. I ignored both +6680866⁰3124 +448082800767 and blocked them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henryford Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Had a problem a while back, several 50 GBP charges to my UK credit card from a games company. Odd as i have never bought anything from them. My UK bank cancelled the card and refunded me the charges. I never use a credit card to buy anything in Thailand (except air fares and hotels) and would never have my credit card details recorded on their files.

phetphet Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 I would have thought that the Thailand Post websites would end in .co.th. The one you mention in your post, ending in .top looks suspicious. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you freeze/disable the card when you don't need it and unfreeze/enable it again afterwards when you want to use it again? Or alternatively set the limit to 0? Yes you can.
