Provincial Police Bureau 5 Commissioner Pol Lt Gen Thanitsak Thirasawat told a press conference Wednesday that Tan Tian Yong was arrested Tuesday in front of his hotel in Mueang Chiang Mai district.

i detest these people with a passion.

Just few days ago similar report was published about another Malaysian guy with a lot of fake credit cards. and this was also at chiang Mai.

I lost 10,000, October 13 and 14 from Bangkok Bank. 4000 on the 13th and 6000 on the 14th. Police report was unusual and the bank didn't wish to claim responsibility. Unusual situation!

That's why I don't have a debit card on my savings account.

Good luck to the bank trying to wheedle out of that one!

thats why i have a chip on my cards

CM is turning into the ATM scam capital of the world!!!!!

wait until they find out CM is also where the poorest travelers go

that's why they need 300 ATM cards to buy one bowl of soup....

i always put 200 million baht in the moat for safekeeping......away from ATMs!!!

thats why i have a chip on my cards

The chip is no longer safe! Two people got skimmed last night at the Night Plaza. They had chip cards!

Sorry,

PhD.

i detest these people with a passion.

I totally agree with you considering I lost 10,000, October 13-14 at which I was sleeping during both times and my card was in my wallet next to me. I just wanted to retire and feel safe and live a decent life. In two months I've lost 17,200 baht.

Ph.D

To be perfectly fair about my situation, I found a decent and knowledgeable banker from BKK Bank who helped me. It was up to me to find him, not the bank! I received 4,000 for the October 13th skimmed monies and next month I will receive 6,000 for the October 14th skimmed monies. Naturally, it is not free but I can live with the agreed terms.

Thank you! Currently dealing with the hacked accounts but that's in the hands of the Thai police. They have all the necessary information, now time will tell!

This hacking of one's account and skimming must be stopped! Foreigner', please careful of you hard earned monies that we worked so hard to obtain throughout our lives. Our monies were not obtained easily, came from many years of working and stressful positions in which no one gave us our money, we earned it!

I hope TAT dont count these guys in there arrival numbers as there obviously working. baastards

I never leave the house. But if I did I would keep my cards in my prison wallet......

How to be safe so ? Never use atm from a street ? Go inside the mall for using ? 7 year in thai never happend to me maybe i m lucky
