Don't you just love it when some low life scum clones your card details :(

I have no idea how it happened, I'm usually really paranoid about stuff like this

    I know a few people who've been victims of card cloning
    One guilty party was found to be a person working a service station
    General rules are, don't ever let the card out of your sight.
  • I used mine in an indian restaurant in town here in liverpool and it was out my sight for about 30 secs. Within an hour someone had bought a 500 squid computer in Richmond. The curry was nice though.

    The only places I've used my card is my local supermarket, work (where I process the transaction) and the garage down the road. The only time I loose sight of the card is in cash machines.

    Ah well, I'll get the money back

    I've had it done once. First I knew about it was when HSBC phoned me to ask if I'd tried to spend £100 on online porn. I hadn't (I get my online porn for free), so they stopped the charge, cancelled my debit card which the charges were on, and cancelled my credit card as well, because I tend to use them in the same places and wasn't sure where the cloning had happened. I was impressed with the service.

    The only time I was worried about this was 6 years ago in Prague. I paid for my Father's birthday meal and the waiter took the card into the kitchen so I popped my head around the corner whilst the waiter had my card, I even phoned the bank when I got back just to make sure. The only dodgy transaction was from the camping shop where I bought some shorts and sunglasses, they put the decimal point in the wrong place, instead of 2850CZK I was initially charged 28.50CZK :lol: they soom corrected it though :(
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    Naw, they ain't got any ATM machines in Rhyl.

    They've all been ripped out by locals on tractors/diggers...

    Now that would be a relationship breaker if you had a joint account
  • Hah my boss put a transaction through and forgot to enter the amount so the gent entered his pin number which then added four digits to the value of the sale and pressed enter then thought hmm then reentered pin and had a thirty thousand bill :S
