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?

How did that work then? ???
Some kind of scanner attached to the cashpoint that swiped Mr B's card details? :-\

That scam has only been going for about 20 years ;D

I hope the bank cancelled the card and sent a new one out.

Police won't be interested, just tell you to ring action fraud.

I've no idea how it works cos I've never done it, but you can have stuff delivered to the big yellow Amazon lockers .... you then show a barcode & it opens the appropriate locker door (I've collected stuff from them for my daughter) no delivery address required.

Six police cars and man with a deerstalker and magnifying glass hanging around would probably tip them off ;D

The Rozzers wouldn't throw anything like that amount of resources at it ::)
unless the fraudster ordered "Gollywogs" on the card :o

Not quite the same
But how about a pay-by-phone parking notice where using the number actually gets you signed up to a video streaming service in Cyprus at £39.99 per month. Happened to the Mrs, it all got sorted out ok and the one payment got refunded somehow.

Ah, she fell into millenial mode. Remind her a phone is for call people ;D
