I'm back online again after some nice person cloned my bank card and emptied my bank account at then end of November >:(
So along with no money for bills or food (hence my not being here due to tinternet getting cut off along with everything else at home, almost including the gas and electric) the bank has given me 30% of my own money back pending the police investigation results. According to them the person responsible is in custody and I'm one of 7 people they can prove he's had and well into the low £100K in stolen money >:( >:(
I've now got to wait until January for them to re-imburse the rest of my money >:( :'(
So as you can all imagine I'm not a happy bunny atm

scumbags >:(

Bad news old boy especially at this time of year :(. What pishes me off is the thieving scumbag will probably get 40 hours community service >:(
-
That's a really shite thing to happen, particularly at this time of year. :( Trouble is, these tinkers either don't realise what hardship they cause to people they rip off or they really don't give a toss and unfortunately it's more likely to be the latter. >:(
Sorry to hear this mate, I feel for you and your family.

Sorry to hear your bad news. You MUST get in touch with all three credit reference agencies after the holidays and inform them about what has happened, or you will be struggling to get credit for years.
-
Oh, thats LOW!
Surely the bank can give you your money, with a clause that if they find it was you really (or whatever else is their excuse for not given it to you), they can take back
-
got to be carefull these days, watch things like cash machines, the scumbags put very thin devices in front of the slot for you card, which clones it as it goes though. They look part of the machine so hard to tell, make sure its got the flashing green light.
Also tend to use well known retailers and use cash / debit cards with one man band shops, and not credit cards

They know where it was cloned.... a scumbag working at the local BP was cloning them. Problem with my bank is it's an old account I use for my salary etc to go in then back out into the bills account etc., and it's a Step account not a current unlike the bills account, so no real protection without prosecution. After much nagging the bank have put 30% ot the stolen amount back in in good faith, plus I've had another months salary go in since. So I'm on catch-up and skinflint xmas shopping duties today. Found out I've got tinternat back on again so thought it'd be rude not to pop in ;)

Thieving gypsies. The bank should refund all of your money, after all it is their facilities you're using; which incidentially should be one step ahead of the thieves.
-
Sorry to hear about that, gald they got them.
Same thing happened to me few months back but luckily when they attempted to buy something in Russia???!! our card was declined like always ::) and we didn't lose anything.One advantage of having nowt in the bank.
Tw*t you have to wait so long to get your money back though >:(
-
ouch >:( >:(
anybody at the garage know the address of said little basta*d :y
i'd rip his gonads off for that >:( >:(

Feel for you, rotten luck followed by rotten behavior >:(

That's bloody awful Lee, why are some people so low? I'm glad you're back online and are slowly getting sorted.
-
This may give you some solice. A few years ago a friend of mine went over to a so called mate's house. When he went in,he found so called mate making cards froma swiping machine and video tape (This is back when it wasn't chips). My mate promptly kicked seven bells out of him. Thicko mate called the cops and which prompted my mate to 'inform' them where to find hundreds of cloned cards. Assault charged dropped and thicko spent some time at her majesty's pleasure! ;D

The bank are obliged to reimburse all the money stolen, remind them that they are responsible for letting the money leave your account and by not having access you can claim interest and damages as a result. If you tell them that and get in touch with the financial ombudsman they should move quick to refund your dough :y

Bring back the "stocks" .
Chain the theiving bu--ers out inthis great weather

Its always petrol atations these days.They get a job working there then set up a camera above the card machine so they can watch you put your PIN number in and then clone the card apparently.
They hit it hard for a couple of weeks then scarper to somewhere a long way away and do the same thing again.
I had it happen a couple of years ago,and as much as I detast Natwest they did reimburse me quite quickly.
Gas the tinkers. >:(
-
I've gone full circle on this. I used to use cash, no cards. Then I went cards, virtually no cash. Now I'm back at square one, no one can clone a tenner.

They actually swap the card swipe unit for thier own as well, has it's own data logger built in but lets the fuel transactions go through the system as usual.
Loads of info gained from places like "The Real Hustle" on BBC, excellent programs shows all manner of scams.

Sad news indeed L, I hope that the matter will be fully resolved for you in the not too distant future.
My very best wishes to you and your family for Christmas and for a better year to come.
