yesterday evening Mrs B went to a cashpoint at a petrol station/Co-op to get cash for our daughter. She commented at the time that it was a grotty, dirty thing.
For what ever reason .... 6th sense
.... she looked at her on-line banking on her phone when we got back home less than an hour later. There had been 3 payments of around £35 to a local shop selling 'back to school' stuff .... uniforms, pens etc and 3 payments to Next on line for around £40/£45 taken from her bank. In total around £250
She obviously phoned her bank to sort it out .... hadn't quite tied the cashpoint & the fraud together .... but talking to her bank, that's exactly where the fraud had taken place.
All sorted now & the money was back in her account last night, but just goes to how quick these buggers are. And would they have taken more if Mrs B hadn't noticed as quick?
