I folks, received this in an email today. Can anyone tell me if this is genuine or is this in fact fake or spam mail. We are awaiting a Thai Pass. It is a bit concerning.

Scam, don't open it

They are asking you to open it on a PC because the malware or virus is designed to infect a Windows machine. If it was a legitimate document such as PDF or DOC there is no reason why you can't open it on a mobile device.

Just wondering Gary, some people asked you for the sender's email address but I don't see where you posted it, doesn't helping people work both ways?

Forgive me if I'm wrong and you did do so.

I scanned the QR code that appeared on email. Was nothing to do with me .I had been to Thailand and returned to home country already .The sending email address is different to original but quite similar.

It’s a scam there was a post about it saying the website had been hacked.

Have you checked on the true website to see how your approval is going

It's Phishing. Hover your mouse over the download button (don't click it) and you'll see the real link is nothing to do with TP.
