debit card help
 

if someone takes a pic of my debit card, could they use it online?

...because I left it in costa ages ago and when I went back to get it the man behind the counter had it, but anyone could have taken a pic of it and gotten the number :/

usually when you buy stuff online you need to enter the santander password as well so I dont think they can but just in case..

They'd take a pic of the back as well (if they're smart) 'cos you need a number off of there as well!

If they took pictures of both sides then yes

Does your card have the account number on too?

If so then the security password can be reset.

Most sites ask for your password but I would contact the bank if I was you just to be safe.

They'd need to know your address wouldn't they?

I wouldn't worry though I highly doubt someone would do that in somewhere like Costa where there's cameras and so many people

yeah I don't think it'd cross their mind, especially when they're working, and if you got money taken out of your account you'd know who the culprit was so I don't think they'd even try it

Yeah, much easier to just pocket the card!! :devil:

I might ask for a new card just in case.. this was back in summer though and nothings happened so its unlikely that anything would now but..

Just contact your bank and tell them what happened.

Contact your bank and ask to cancel your card/get a replacement. A similar thing happened to me recently. Check your account online to keep track of your finances.

A relative of mine duped me a few years ago into signing up for one of these pay day loans for him in my name, one of the things he had to do was take a photo of the card and email it to them.

I would contact your bank

Wow that's a really spiteful nasty thing to do even more so that it was a relative, I hope he got caught?

When I fully realised what he had done I went to the bank to try to reverse it, no luck. No police involvement, although there could quite easily have been, I just put it down to my own stupidy and naivety. He had the money, then continually defaulted on it and it was me they were chasing. As far as they was concerned he didn't exist. They phoned me and sent me letters for months before I just rang them and paid it all off in one go. By which time the original loan had practically doubled due to the defaults.

My father paid me back and he pretty much got off scot free.

Suffice to say, we no longer talk. :joker:

Never trust ANYONE with your bank card.

Hmmm that's really awful, sounds like someone your better off not having in your life anyway.

Your father done that to you? :o

Nope, he paid me the money back on behalf of the brother that did it to me

Oh okay, I read the last bit of your post wrong then lol.. still, your brother doing that, awful

If it happened in the summer I wouldn't worry about it now, contacting the bank and replacing your card will be a lot of hassle

omg is that why you're so moody all the time

OMD you a broke ass girl

Cos for the most part people are utter bastards? Pretty much, bestie
