Hello everyone! As you can see from the subject, it's what I wish to share today ka.
A friend lined with a screenshot talking with 'me' through messenger, asking her to go to 7-11 to transfer 1,000 baht as 'I' had to be self-quarantined. That was the beginning of my jump to have several who told me in further detail too.
Lessons learned from this incident are:
- Our friends and former colleagues are really kind and wish to help out. One former colleague called to say even she was surprised why I asked her, she felt very good that I did ka!
- Observe and check further. One ajarn went into that Facebook page to find info from there. She found only the full name and date of birth which stated that I was born in 1964. She knew right away it wasn't me as I'm older ka:))! She called the person who didn't answer anything and left the chat.
- Ask the owner when we aren't sure about the strange request....several did line or call ka.
- With the open access from 7-11 at the limit of 1,000 baht, it's the big gap for people to receive money without having to tell the name and the account number ka.
On my end, here are several ka:
- My habit of writing in English helps tell quite a few that it may not be me and the Thai language used was far away from my own way of talking ka. This person wrote, 'ทำไรอยู่จ๊ะ' ....not my style loei ka.
- Thank goodness my friends know that I wouldn't go around asking for money ka.
- Don't be lazy to change the password and though I change mine periodically, it isn't enough ka.
- I now not only know a little better how not to be hacked, I also appreciate my younger ones who came to check and walked me through the process of two-factor authentication while a very dear junior friend, Bank, offered to help as soon as he knew my Facebook was hacked ka.
Hope you don't have such an experience ka.
