My preferred protein supplier in Bangkok was out of stock so I had a quick look in Google and came across the website Optimum Nutrition Thailand and believed it was a legitimate seller. However, based on what happened to me, I can confirm it's a fraudulent website.
During the checkout process, I noticed several alarming signs. The payment link suddenly redirected to a completely different and suspicious URL. I also saw unusual changes in the payment currency. The amount was initially displayed in Thai Baht, then changed to US Dollars, and later to Philippine Pesos (PHP). That immediately raised concern for me.
It also appeared that the payment was being processed under the name of a company in the Philippines, LITTRON CROSS-BORDER E-CO, which made the whole transaction seem even more suspicious. Based on my experience, I believe this may be part of a scam involving payments for goods that are never shipped, and possibly an attempt to steal customers' credit card details for unauthorized use elsewhere.
I realized something was wrong just before entering the OTP, so I did not complete the transaction and I suspended my credit card immediately at around 10:00 PM.
About one hour later, there were attempts to use my credit card details for unauthorized online purchases.
* Payment attempt at AMAZONPRIME MEM, amount 0.00 THB, on 08/03/26 at 23:18 - unsuccessful
* Payment attempt at WALMART.CA, amount 0.00 THB, on 08/03/26 at 23:20 - unsuccessful
* Payment attempt at TAOSESEZHUM, amount 0.00 THB, on 08/03/26 at 23:20 - unsuccessful
These attempted transactions confirm that my card details were compromised during the payment process on this website.
I am sharing this publicly to warn others to be extremely cautious. Based on my experience, this website appears to be unsafe, and I would advise anyone considering a purchase there to avoid entering any payment information.
