Transcript of the above video: 

Very quickly I am going to throw this up on screen. The headline is from Pattaya Mail, pattayamail.com, the article is titled: Thailand seizes over 10.1 billion Baht from transnational scam networks in major crackdown. Quoting directly: "Thailand's Government today announced the seizure of over 10.1 billion baht in assets from major transnational scam and money laundering networks, concluding a successful Nationwide crackdown." Concluding? You know! 

Look, I'm doing this video because unfortunately, I've done videos like this in the past. Some folks, for whatever reason - obviously there's an illicit profit motive - will impersonate us and pretend to be our firm and tell people X, Y and Z in order to get money out of them. It's somewhat akin to what I've heard called an "Advanced Fee Scam" where basically they say, "Hey", apparently this targets Spanish-speaking people. And to be clear, anybody that has approached us with this, we have told them, “Hey it looks like you've been the subject of some kind of chicanery here, some kind of scam", and then we advise; we have made complaints to the police. This is why I'm getting kind of upset and I'm making this video, because we're seeing all this banking nonsense which we've never seen before. People's bank accounts, frozen out of the blue because “scams” exist or whatever. Meanwhile, I've been dealing with this, and our firm has been dealing with this for years, these scammers that are impersonating us here in Thailand. To be clear, we're Integrity Legal, we're not Integrity Chambers. 

If the email that you are sending to us is anything other than the email mentioned in this video specifically, [email protected] or [email protected], you're not talking to us. If it's not one of those two domain names, legal.co.th or integrity-legal.com, you're not in correspondence with us. And then people will get in correspondence with us later after having been told X, Y and Z and we are sitting there going, "we don't even know what you're talking about", and again, we refer all of this to the police. So the reason I'm bringing this up is there is all this talk about scams and things. We have been informing about a scam for a long time now and we are still occasionally seeing people who come back to us with this. So hopefully this can get resolved. 

That said, if you're watching this video, look our email addresses again, we'll put them up on the screen: [email protected] and [email protected]. Those are the domain names that you will be using to be emailing us. I am Benjamin Hart; I am the Managing Director of the firm. There isn't another foreigner in this firm you're going to be talking to by email, okay? So anybody, by whatever name. I've seen multiple names: Leonard Hans is one of them that's out there, a bunch of different things. I have put stuff on our blog over the years. I've made an announcements, press releases, made announcements on this YouTube thing, and yet they still are around and all this Orwellian banking stuff is too. I keep thinking of that scene in the Death of Stalin where Khrushchev says "the whole point of the NKVD is to find anybody we need to" and then they can't find somebody. So it's like you've given us all this Orwellian oversight saying that you're going after scams, well there's real scams still going on, and I don't see anything happening to these people; maybe it's already occurring, it could be happening while I speak.

That being said, the point of the Scam Alert is to let people know what our email addresses are, and if you're not talking directly to our information desk via one of those two emails, or me via one of those two emails, or one of our actual attorneys or staffers here, then you are not talking to us, okay? And I'm hoping that the very small silver lining of all this Orwellian Banking stuff is we actually see a clamp down of real scams like the people that seem to be impersonating us out there in the ether of the internet.
