I wonder how much time he will do, probably none, which will send a clear message to others to continue to give out our personal information. When my wife is on the phone and says Tiruk, how much do we pay for our car insurance, I say hang up, and then when she says but I have an insurance company on the phone who says they can do us a better deal, oh, really, ask them where they got your number from and then we can start to talk, they then hang up when my wife says, my husband is a farang and wants to know where you got my number from....LoL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bank Infoe on the Thai cloud and now a possible chance of more Identity infoe with the Tax authorities. I had someone use my identity fraudulently 4 years ago in the States, the more access these institutions have of us ,the easier it makes for fraud to happen. imop 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
