What's a TDAC
Answer summary
The Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) is a mandatory online form that all foreign visitors must complete within 72 hours prior to arriving in Thailand, regardless of their visa type. It can be accessed for free through the official website, and visitors should be cautious of scam sites that may charge fees. The application process is simple and can be filled out online, similar to other travel cards used globally.

Correct. If a business publishes misleading information in order to extract money from the public, of course it's a scam

Yes, but if the "third party" is using misleading information to scam people,the credit card provider can reverse the transaction

...right up until you get to immigration once you've gotten off the plane. You cannot apply until 72 hours BEFORE arrival. It's a Digital Card - the D and the C in TDAC.
