Absolutely . . . though it amazes me how a ten year old has access to and knows how to send money . . . we're not talking 5 or 10 baht, we're talking 900

My two can send Robux or buy on shopee (COD) so possible I guess

[panama hat]

Geez . . . but could they spend RM900 just like that?

[katie23]

^^ and ^ yes it's possible. There was a news report here in PH some months ago that a kid used his mother's phone. He used it to order food from different food delivery apps, cost was thousands of pesos. Parents were surprised when the delivery guys showed up at their doorstep (they had to pay up). Food delivery here can be paid online or COD.
