Lousy Rotten Scum.!!!!!

[Tim Procter]

Just been into town this lunchtime to buy some brake pads for the car.

Popped my switch card into the machine... (Card declined):confused:

The bloke at the counter rang for authorization for the card (which shouldn't happen BTW) then passed the phone to me.:confused:

After a few security questions the lady on the phone told me to ring my bank immediatly..:eek:

Rang the switch card company emergency number and was told after a few secret questions my card has been cloned..:(

The thieving bastards have already made a £2k payment..... yes 2 grand along with a £90 payment this morning while I was sat here reading the forums..:banghead:

Of course they have put a stop on the card and an investigation starts on Monday to see where the money has been spent.

Utter scum, I am lost for words.:(

Sorry to hear that mate :mad::cuss::cuss::eek:

[Dashik]

Feel for you. They need a good old fashioned public flogging and jailed for a long time. Scumbags!

[Fixxxer]

Totally agree Dashik, sympathies to you Buster. It can't be a nice feeling knowing somebody had access to your hard earned cash & account.

Mate of mine had 6k taken from his business account a couple of years ago, was traced as far as South America so you can guess that it never got resolved. His bank (Barclay's) reimbursed the full amount tho. Still a horrid thing to happen.

[Boggy]

as you say tim ****ing scum!!!:boxing_smiley:

[Symon]

Disgusting...absolutely disgusting.

Life is hard enough without leeches taking our hard earned cash.

[jiberjaber]

Oh dear thats bad - where do you think it might have happened?

[mattydred]

the dirty bastards - sounds something like raptormadsteve would do??

you did say jokingly youd give him your credit card details in the raptor 50 airframe thread.

what advice/measures can you give to stop this happening to any1 else?. i dont think there is any. if the dirty scumbags want your money they'll get it. im sure you was carefull with your details buster but they still got money out.

i suggest you put your money into premium bonds at the post office and scrap the credit cards and just have small ammounts of cash in a current/debit account for when you need it. if the money isnt in this type of account you cant draw it out.

scum indeed. ive moved to a new address last week and im having my post stolen by other lodgers. so far theyve had a tail boom and an AMD athlon processor. theres nothing i can do, the police cant do anything.

[Sesame]

Sorry top hear about your troubles Tim, any Idea where the theiving scumbags got your number from?

Hope the bank resolves it quickly for you

[Kwickkwack]

Sorry to hear of your woes Tim, hope you can sort it out with the bank, I bet they will wriggle as much as they can as well. :mad::mad:

pxr5, there are a few things that come to mind as ways to stop the letter thieves.

eg, take a dump in a box, seal it air tight, so the smell isnt a dead give away, and then address it to yourself, then plant it for them to steal

hehehe

If they dont stop stealing then try other nasty things to post to them.

Sooner or later they will stop wanting to touch anything that has your name on it, try to also record their screams as they realise what they have opened:smilielol5:

[Made2Fade]

Not called Steve the guy that done it was he? :D All jokes aside though, thats a nightmare.
Hope you get it sorted quickly.

Thankfully you should be okay from the bank, unless they try to say that its a chip and pin and your liable. Seems to be a get out clause for them these day's, though it has been proved that chip and pin is also not 100% safe.

[QUOTE]Shell has stopped accepting payments authorised by Chip and PIN at 600 of 1,000 UK petrol stations following the discovery of a systematic fraud that resulted in the theft of an estimated £1m from customer accounts.[/QUOTE]
