My dad's account got done over the other week for near £700,
The bank called him to go in as his account had been used in a fraud.

So easily done, blame the guy at the petty station etc????

Fact is the account only had direct debits taken out, my dad has never used the card in any machine or any online transactions,
So how were his details found by a fraudster??


The bank have been decent, kept him upto date and he gets a phonecall when a DD or Standing order is due, and said they will waver any overdraft charges he may have incurred due to it, and should be refunded withing 6 weeks.

a couple of BP garages were doing this near me, clone the cards and record the pins. iirc it was in a few newspapers about this last year aswell.

Like I said previously,
My dad has never used his card in a machine or for an online transaction, so your theory is blown out of the window.

I had it done to one of my cards but not sure if it was petrol station, cashpoint or dodgy postman. I know for certain it wasn't via network security route like a trojan. They booked Air Asia tickets, Hilton hotels and ordered LG choclate mobile phone from Littlewoods.

Guy on the phone at the bank was a muppet kept asking me if i was sure i hadn't ordered them, i mean i think i would know if i booked a flight. Called the police and they didn't give a crime number as it was ID theft and its not a crime and only would be if the bank didn't refund it and then it becomes fraud.

Sent the form back the bank sent out and job done. Got new cards etc. Funny thing is though the Littlewoods account had all my details except wrong DOB so not sure how they got it. I never recieved these things to my door or info about it. Chip and pin security has been broken though now too.

you can get money out of an account by just knowng the name on the card and the pin number. so its not just right to blame petrol stations. when you draw out money at a cash point tere sometimes is a line and a person tries there hardest to see your name and pin. same in shops like river island etc.. all they need is your name and pin and they can make up a card.

they took £3 £3 £3 then £980 off me on new years eve! bank sorted it out no probs but made no effort in my eyes to find out who it was.

the bit i dont get is the card they took it from was purely a bill payment acc,me and the wife dont know the number for the card and have NEVER used the card to pay for anything in shops or online.

Think someone nicked some money from my card. didnt know until i got my bank statement and it showed a transaction of €170 to a shop called "Elegant Undies", A lingerie shop! Wouldnt mind if i had atleast got to have seen it !

Never bothered following it up cause i could never remember to do it, but i reckon it was my bros social sponge emo freak girlfriend at which point i never want to see them in use

Had the same thing happen to me as well, keep just enough in my current account and transfer all the rest into my savings as soon as I get paid.

Same script as my old fella, a bill paying account
Summat like £1, £3.60, £11.summat then £600,
The bank said that the £1 is just a kind of checker to see if they can get access, Suppose its abit like punching random numbers in the keyboard and hoping for the best

over a year ago my dad had one of his accounts cleaned out, took over 30k, the account was a saving account and only had a pass book so no cards/cheque book etc

the only way they'd even know the account excisted was if they had access to the banks personal account details. anyways turns out someone walked into a branch in leicester and cleaned the account out (without a book!)
bank investigated it to make sure it wasnt my dad pulling a scam, and they return the money shortly after.

some weeks later my dad gets a call from a loan company checking to see if he'd applied for a loan on a car, my dad had no idea of this, the guy at the finance company said he has a copy of my dads passport and driving licence (my dad has a paper licence!) they sent a copy of it to us and the picture on the passport and licence is of an asian guy!

police fraud squad have delt with it and we havent had any issues since, although the other day i got a letter saying i won the spanish lotto funny thing is the guys taken all that time to print it out (inkject printer you can tell) and post it from spain (even used a stamp ) why didnt he just email me it, would of saved him money and hassle and it would of gine stright to my junk bin lol

my bank were great

i bought tickets to go to india for me, my wife and the nipper and they closed my account

i only found out when i was at the checkout in tesco and the card was declined

i called the bank in the store and sorted it, but then i had the old bill knockingo n the door and all sorts

i'm all for security but they said i was laundering money and that's why my account had been closed and the police involved

i explained that i'd had a lot of money in there to buy a house so what was the problem? it had all come from different accounts in my name

they just sent me a new card, not even a sorry

if it wasn't for the fact that everything goes in and out of that acount i would have fooked off somewhere else, clueless twats
