They’re trying to reduce non-technical people or elder scams and fraud.

A scam network takes over phones, tricks people on friends lists to follow directions so their phone can be remotely controlled (Apple and Android). Then the cycle repeats and they try to drain bank accounts in the process.

Thailand is placing 50k maximums for digital transfers then adjusting over time based on … 50k baht = $1,575 USD

In Denmark I have a daily on my bank account of 50,000 dkr - about 8,000 usd. If I want to do a money transfer larger than that I have to call my bank and answer a bunch of questions to verify my identity.

		If somebody held a gun to your head, is there a wayto answer the questions differently such that the money transfer is faked? I doubt so, so it's quite similar. I guess it's harder to talk under duress.
