Has anybody had an email from what says is Thailand Pass saying there is a problem with my information and asking for my name, date of birth and last 4 digits of passport number? Doesn't look very official and been here for nearly 2 months already. THX.

TLDR : Answer Summary
Multiple users have reported receiving suspicious emails claiming to be from Thailand Pass, asking for personal information like name, date of birth, and passport details. The consensus among the commenters is that these emails are spam or phishing attempts. Users are advised to ignore, delete, and not click any links in such emails, as it has been noted that the Thai Consulate's website may have been compromised.

The Thai Consulate web site was compromised apparently. We all got the same fishing spam. Hope our private details weren’t compromised also.

Yes I got one too in my spam box.

Looks like someone has got hold of a load of data from thaipass website. Not good

these have been doing the rounds for weeks. Hacked around a month or so ago. Probably still compromised.

Yes, it's fake, ignore it. Richard Barrow reported on it some weeks ago, luckily, because I applied yesterday and got this fake email today. It's the wrong email address from the sender...
