Just to remind all members to be careful when using their debit ot credit card.
I have recently found out I was a victim of fraud. According to my bank I have been hit by aleast 15 transactions from the far east mainly India, they rejected them but 2 got through taking over £150 off me.
My bank has refunded me the money but now my card is block until I get new one and the only way for me to get at my money is to go into a branch with proof of ID.
I have no idea how my details were taken.
So if you are reading this. Please be careful.

I got stung for £640 two weeks before Christmas a couple of years ago (a rogue employee with a gambling habit as it went on a gambling website) then a 1.5 years ago a £30 quid charge to O2 showed up that I'm pretty sure was part of the google hack that happened around that time. Just thinking about it makes me want to to do unpleasant things to the thieves with a bacon slicer.
as for how they got their hands on your details it's possible that someone who works in a call centre and has access to customer details sold on yours (there was a news story sometime ago about Indian call centre staff selling on details, though in that case it was to other companies).

) a real person was on the phone within half an hour to check that it was me making the transactions. Very good service
