PhDEducation Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicog Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhDEducation Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhDEducation Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 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!
