BANK ACCOUNT EMPTIED
BANK ACCOUNT EMPTIED
A Swedish national Mr. Henrik Christian Koch age 49 came back to Pattaya to discover that his Bangkok Bank account had been emptied by an unknown person using the on-line banking system. Mr. Henrik told the police that he graduately had deposited money into a bank saving account that he initially opened with 500 baht, when he left Thailand he had saved nearly 100,000 baht on his account. The bank informed him that a person using a mobile number 098-930-1045 had registered on-line banking with his account and had redrawn first 90,000 baht and then 9,900 baht leaving only about one baht on the account. Mr. Henrik was very surprised how another person could register on-line banking on his account and felt that his first opinion that money was more safe in a bank than in cash, had now changed when it comes to Thai banks. The police however now is investigating the matter and hope to soon find the truth in this case.
