Someone stole my credit card details [Got refunded]
 
They spent £150 on online gambling :bawling:

AnnieK 15-04-2014 12:33 PM

OMG...how did you find out?

Your bank will reimburse you but is such a pain in the neck.....

Smithy 15-04-2014 12:34 PM

I got a letter in the post saying they were concerned about my banking activity and I thought it was just because I'd gotten a new card and was still using the old one :(

Yeah, they're gonna refund the money, but still it's horrible knowing someone is quite happy to spend someone else's hard earned money

Saph 15-04-2014 12:36 PM

I always worry about stuff like this happening :worry:

Benjamin 15-04-2014 12:36 PM

:conf2:

Have they tracked the ***** down?

Loukas 15-04-2014 12:36 PM

My dad had his details hacked once, it's never a good thing. It could be worse though, the bank could have not payed you back!

idk, the people using it were from Dublin and Gibraltar :conf2:

so idk if they were using a proxy or just a lot of people have my details D:

They usually call you straight away, you had to wait for a letter?

Everytime I make more than one online order in a day I get a call ensuring I approved the charges.

Yeah, I have an online banking app so I checked that an it looks like all the transactions were done on the same day, they must have maxed out the card or whatever, cause the last 3 transactions on there were by me, but I'm gonna keep an eye on it in future

Kate! 15-04-2014 01:40 PM

Bloody scumbags, I'm glad you're not out of pocket, cos they don't care whether you are or not to do it in the first place, maybe your card got 'cloned' - I dread this sort of thing tbh.

Ammi 15-04-2014 02:24 PM

..aww Smithy..:hug:..it's a horrible feeling, that happened to my OH a few years ago, it was around £800 and it was also a gambling site but the credit card company did phone him straight away...

Smithy 16-04-2014 08:53 PM

They cancelled all my cards and the money was refunded into my account this morning :D

Me. I Am Salman 16-04-2014 08:59 PM

I lost my wallet last summer and had to cancel and replace everything but it came back untouched a month later

Smithy 16-04-2014 09:05 PM

where from?

GypsyGoth 16-04-2014 09:05 PM

Glad it got sorted and hopefully whoever did it gets prosecuted, it can't be that difficult.
