Costas2008 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I have been using an oz bank for 58yrs and have been using an atm card here for 12yrs. I went to get money from the ATM machine but the account was closed. I rang the bank and they told me that they will reopen the account, but they gave me no reason as to why the account was stopped. I rang my daughter to ask the bank and she emailed my statement. The last transation was not mine, but made from makro where I used my ATM card the last time. The bank said nothing. The wife read on her facebook that this happens often in los. i will never use the atm card in any shops, only at banks where they have cameras. I think that's what the OP is trying to tell us Duchisaan, hope I'm right. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soutpeel Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 for balance, been using a foreign ATM card for last 14 years all over Thailand and never had anything nicked from the account, and if the bank believe there has been "funny" withdrawals from the account they call me to check before blocking the card... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post richard_smith237 Posted September 23, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted September 23, 2014 For this reason I have two Accounts in Thailand - One with limited funds for which I carry around an ATM card and top up from a main account as required. Another account is the main one with the ATM card remaining in the safe. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opalred Posted September 23, 2014 Author Share Posted September 23, 2014 i have used that account all over world many times with no problem but this the first time ok bank donnt know where i live but they must have known something funny to block when money missing and not tell me why they must have some idea what happened Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDGRUEN Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 To: OP .. Opalred... I will try to find some knowledgeable TVF friends to help you to understand what has gone wrong.. But first - most people who have this problem call the bank and have the card suspended ... Have you done that? Because if you have not - the thefts from your card can go on... With some feedback and information maybe I can get help for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another account is the main one with the ATM card remaining in the safe. I go one better: my main accounts have no ATM card attached to them at all. Only the small feeder account has an ATM card. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KittenKong Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I personally know 4 different people to whom this has happened. One lost a million Baht or so. It only seems to happen with Thai cards, presumably because cards from farangland come with fraudulent use guarantees which Thai cards don't have.I never use ATM machines here except for the ones inside my own bank.

I usually agree with you David, but IMHO insulting someone's wife who isn't part of the topic is over the top. How would you feel if you posted about ATM theft and some wisecracker pointed at MissFarmGirl??? Peace. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thongkorn Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 (edited) Only problem i have had, is when I went to an ATM went through the routen, pin number extra, and it did not pay out the money, yet deducted it from my account. I got it back though from My bank in the UK. Edited September 23, 2014 by Thongkorn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukecan Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Probably your card got skimmed by the russian mafia lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pib Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 OP, you need to contact your bank directly and talk to them regarding the issue. If your card was skimmed and later on bad guys took money from your account, well, it happens all over the world. Contact your bank directly--that is, "you" contact them and talk to them...get the info first hand versus relying on the info being relayed to you. Your bank will be able to tell you exactly when, where and for how much the withdrawals were for, and the procedures you need to follow to attempt reimbursement of the money.

seajae Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 aussie banks will refund fraudulent transactions, all you need do is tell them that it was not you. My aussie bank has my current address in Thailand listed, it is smart to let them know where you are so they can make informed decisions. I would be reporting this to my bank if the transaction was not made by you or with your card as well as reporting it to the police or the bank the machine belongs to so that they can check it. I will only use teller machines that are in banks for this reason, in Thailand you have to play it safe as there is so much theft of cards happening but then again it is endemic all over the world these days.
