Ever been hit by fraud? Sat in the bank this afternoon going through like fifty transactions over the last three days - only a handful I'd made. I was numb, yet wired. Thankfully people have helped me get through the evening, with lifts and cash to help out. But it's more the fact that someone was able to clean out my account that has h*t me. Whoever they are, they've got a gambling problem.. |

Not personally but it happened to a mate last year. Thankfully it was quite easy for him to prove that he hadn't recently been to Slovenia, where most of the bogus transactions had taken place. Hope you get it sorted out

How can somebody take money from your account? Did you give away your pin number? I'm quite scrupulous abt buying stuff online, esp from playstore and music sites for example. Sorry anyway, I get you don't feel happy abt it.

@ bozzalad - 11.02.15 - 07:41pm card cloned? Yeah, that's what happened to my mate, presumably mikey too. There were quite a few cases of it happening around here last year, they found a couple of card cloning devices attached to cash machines in Hull. |

almost had 2 iphones bought in my name but managed to stop that as the company called me to confirm the order. Couple of weeks later had an clothing account opened in my name, they bought clothes worth 7k(south african rands) in one day. Only realized when they sent an sms to come 'collect my vouchers to use with my account.' Funny thing is I've never misplaced my ID. But it was sorted.

The bank phoned my mate and asked him if he'd been abroad, as they had detected a series of unusual foriegn withdrawals.

So now I'm extra careful with my details have a triple warning system on my bank account via Sms, e-mail and banking app message alert. Also have alerts set up with a credit bureau to warn me when an enquiry is done fir credit in my name

Two years ago I had a bogus transaction on my account to some firm I'd never heard of, one off payment of 1400 pounds. My bank refunded me the money next day, and their fraud dept then went after the company. I still use my card online and abroad but get regular balances and check all my statements.
