I received this scam email today.  Please take note. I have make a transfer using my BBL after reading this email. the account is ok. 

Apart from the email address it doesn't look like a scam email, maybe a member of staff is emailing using a personal address. It's too accurate to be a scam

 

They say they have released the account for you, hence it's working.  But perhaps they will refreeze it if you don't pop in with the documents, or at least call them to clarify (number is valid).

It does look like a scam email.

I must say that I agree with you. This looks exactly like the kind of email you'd expect your typical, poorly trained Bangkok Bank clerk to send out these days.

 

Question to the OP @LespaulAN: Is your account actually with the branch they mentioned, or with another Bangkok Bank branch?

@scubascuba3 @Upnotover You two are correct. I went down to the branch and it was from one of the staff. I did tease her about the 'scammy' English we had a good laugh over it. 

Your account was frozen, yet you were able to make a transfer? 🤔

I don't think the fact that they use their personal email accounts to email customers of the bank is a laughing matter. Their poor training and unprofessional conduct becomes more and more obvious and is a reason for concern.

An email from Gatida Ganha, using [email protected] would immediately flag up a scam , for me anyway. I would not open it, or any attachments or follow-ups. It is screaming SCAAAAM!

So I called the number, and a girl ensured that it is genuine. ChatGPT however says that the email address looks dodgy. It is a personal, private iCloud email address and would/should never be used as an official communication.

Bangkok Bank's address is in the domain bangkokbank.com.

And would immediately reported as being a phishing scam if I received it.

How else would you determine whether it is or not a genuine email.

As all the warnings say, if you do not recognise the sender, DO NOT open it, email. messages, LINE, Whats App, or anything you do not know.

So how please, did you determine this email was genuine?

Especially when it is addressed to SIR, not even Dear Sir.

Well, if she said it's legit, then it must be legit.

No scammer would lie to you.

No. If I had known where I went wrong, I would not have gone wrong.

Please tell me what I misunderstood in the OPs headline and first line "I received this scam email today"

Three who have a laughing emoji aren't laughing now 😆, need to work out where you went wrong before it's too late

I'm not doing your homework for you, list why it doesn't look like a scam?

Only you got three laughs, because what you are saying is laughable. NoDisplyName got one because he was joking.

You have not explained why YOU think this is a genuine email.

What a sad, cop out reply. I know all the signs to look out for in a Scam email. This shows many of them which I have listed in a previous reply.

I tought it was a scam, because banks and other serious firms don't call you " sir ", but write your name and surname 

scammers don't know them

Very lazy reply, I'm not doing your homework for you, see if you can work it out, now you know it's genuine

What the email should have said is:

 

We would like you to go to your local Bangkok Branch with the following documents..........

 

Not, 'Your account has been frozen.......we have released your account' bla bla bla. That email could have been written by a Nigerian! 

Not personally addressed, no name, no account number, dicey email address.

 

Real or not that would have gone straight in my bin too.

Correct. When it says "Your account has been frozen" (when it hasn't) then "it has been released to you" a red flag immediately pops up. And the other signs, Sir, wrong email address, all add up.

Strange though that whoever answered the phone sort of knew of Gandita .

Most members would tell another what to look out for in an email to determine whether or not it is a scam.

YOU, you simply come up with insults. Thanks.

I got an email a couple weeks ago from MY email address, so I recognize the legitimate email address and I certainly do know the sender.

 

I informed myself that I had secretly installed undetectable Pegasus software onto my laptop and other devices.  I then proceeded to tell myself that I had secretly recorded myself administering pleasure to myself whilst viewing highly inappropriate content.  I further instructed myself to transfer 1 bitcoin to myself at an untraceable wallet address.

 

This was obviously legit.  I recognized the email address, and the activities depicted were consistent with my immoral behavior, leaving me no choice.

 

Naturally I transferred the requested bitcoin to myself, and as promised, the incriminating evidence was deleted and I was not publicly shamed.

 

That proves it was legitimate.
