Popped out to Tesco earlier to use the cash machine and both were in use by what looked to be an Eastern European father and teenage daughter, they must have used 30 cards between them to check the balance then clean out the available funds to the daily max,he was passing them to her without having to tell her any PIN numbers which was the weird bit and the cards were all from different banks? It must have been a £7-8k wad when they finally finished He then got into the drivers seat of a private hire cab and they buggered off.

Assuming they were cloned/stolen cards he surely would have had to tell her the numbers, my only assumption is it's some benefit scam getting paid into multiple accounts ? Either way I was well peed off so took the reg and taxi plate number but guess the police would not be particularly bothered may email it to crimestoppers all the same. 

Any thoughts what the deal here could be ?

Card fraud pure and simple... I would report it to the Police, crimestoppers and the licensing authority...

If he is the head of the family, he will be in charge of finances. Every member of his (probably huge) extended family will simply choose the same PIN.
He's probably at home now giving them their weekly allowance, while the rest will go back home.

There's also a chance that he could be exploiting other people from his own country. In Sheffield we know of one fella who came with his wife and kids, got a large council house and then proceeded to house half the population of Slovakia 

He was getting all of their benefits and housing benefit and giving them back pocket money.

It's a different world you know.

When these folk are asked to explain their 'arrangements', they forget how to speak even very basic English.

Suspicious enough to justify a report to the authorities.

Could be completely innocent though

Which authorities? Things have changed, if it's not an easy cop, they won't spend much time on it.

Wouldn't mind an allowance of that size myself 

You get that pm I sent you?
