They spent £150 on online gambling

OMG...how did you find out?

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

[Smithy]

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]

I always worry about stuff like this happening

[Benjamin]

Have they tracked the ***** down?

[Loukas]

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

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

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.

They sent the letter on the 6th and it only got here today

Your bank doesn't care about you.

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!]

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]

..aww Smithy....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]

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

[Me. I Am Salman]

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

[Smithy]

where from?

[GypsyGoth]

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