This is the second email I have had in 3 weeks... at first I thought it was a scam but now I'm not too sure?

I have been here since December been immigration a few times and nothing has been mentioned... I am due to go back to IO on the 25th to put in another 60 day extension application before my current one runs out on the 5th of April.. do I just ignore this email or do I reply or just wait until I go immigration and ask there

Answer summary

The community consensus is that the email in question is a scam, with multiple users advising the original poster to ignore it and not reply. Many have received similar fraudulent emails while living in Thailand, noting that legitimate communications would address individuals by their name rather than their email address. Users encouraged the poster to block the sender and delete the email.
