I wasn’t expecting anything, it was forwarded to me by my son who lives at my home address in uk, Royal Mail tracked service and took a chance on receiving it in thailand, glad I got it and it didn’t get stolen enroute, I don’t know if it fell into the wrong hands if they would be able to use it fraudulently ? Hopefully no use without the pin no ?
