My Credit Card - CLONED
« on: 11 July 2008, 14:55:32 »
I just went to Currys to purchase some batteries and headphones - £15 transaction. Lady at the till said card has been declined and rang through to Virgin MBNA for authorisation.

MBNA asked me to call them ASAP when out of the store, so I did.

They have said there are a number of transactions but mainly cashpoint withdrawls that have been made in India using my card.

I have certainly not been to India!!

There will now be a fraud investigation on my account and I should be able to get the funds back.

I have used this card VERY little, and I know all of the outlets I've used it at. There is one I am very suspicious of, for my own reasons, but I'd never be able to prove it  :(

Ps, If you're reading Maria, I can't contact you - no phone!

That sucks mate.  This has happened due to the new ultra-secure computer controlled world we live in.

Yeah bosses take thier work home on laptops and get forgetfull.

James, sure they will have you sorted out in no at all, in the mean time, check all your accounts online on a daily basis.  Go for papless billing as well, far too much is going astray in the post these days.

I also hate the Indian call centre, and allways wondered if the banks cutting corners have added to all these security issues.  I have my thoughts but I dont think anything will ever be shown up.

i only have one card with access to cash, i'm extremely careful where and how i use it, and i'm hawk-eye on the staff aswell

my girlfriend thinks i'm over-cautious, especially since i point out everything risky she does concerning money and identity theft, but i'm just looking out for us
