I might be naive but not stupid Oh dear sorry you have the stress With passport details and bank account details it is unlikely your account can easily be drained However I would recommend you call your bank and alert them to your concern, then follow up with confirmatory letter sent recorded delivery I am not a lawyer but this way i think you would be protected in the event some of your fears materialised Happy Christmas, we all make mistakes, hindsight is wonderful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mogandave Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 If all you have are a few bank accounts, can't you just list your daughters as the beneficiaries and be done with it? just giving someone you address and account numbers is not that big a deal.

Saastrajaa Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 (edited) It's not unknown in Thailand to run a scam like this: you get someone's personal details, and then you take out a life insurance policy on them. When you die, they collect, and there's nothing their family can do about it. This happened to the father of a girlfriend I had in Ayuthya years ago. Sounds like it may be his plan for you. Are you over 60 years old? Edited December 26, 2016 by Saastrajaa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lungnorm Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 There is one born every day. Why give a total stranger your bank account details? all he has to do is get his picture in your passport and go to the banks and close your accounts. Which he may have done already.

He did not ask for the amount in the accounts. If you don't put a freeze on your bank account asap, you can kiss your money goodbye. Why are people so immature and gullible is beyond me.
