my money

[Sussex]

Following on from this, another of my cards has been "scammed" i have found out today.

Once this is sorted I am closing all my credit cards down, they are causing me too much stress!

I wouldn't mind but i only use supposidly secure sites on the internet etc (e.g. Amazon) and normal shops in town, only takes one dodgy person i guess.

Blimey that's not good. You shouldn't be expected to have to do that. Shut them all down and sign up accounts for websites/credit cards with new passwords etc..

[Bedford Red]

Yeah, i suppose i should.

It's just the inconvenience, and the stress from it. Last year it took about 3 months to get all the money back from my m & s card which had been used for plane flights, ferry, train etc. I was more worried about someone nicking my identity if they were booking plane flights etc.

but I do feel sorry for all the people that are gonna get there accounts drained by these bastards and be none the wiser.

Why didn't you rip the cunt out or tell the coppers or something?

We found a device on an ATM at Sainsburys today. Couldn't tell it was even on there to loook at, but basically when you put your card into the machine as normal, it must send your information to a laptop/pc, and then they can use your account info, pin etc. as they wish. I had used this particular ATM this morning so i cancelled my card, just to be on the safe side.  I'm inconvenienced by not being able to spend any money for a week whilst waiting for my new card, which isn't really that big a deal, but I do feel sorry for all the people that are gonna get there accounts drained by these bastards and be none the wiser.

which ATM which Sainsburys  :shock:

Nightmare, then there is the hassle of sorting out your credit rating out again if you’ve clocked up late payments as a result.

It's so easy and safe to pinch an identity these days it’s a shocker.

I think he means the people who've been done before it became apparent there was a scamming device in the ATM.

The Lebanese loop it was called. You put your card in, put your pin in but nothing happens. You think the card has been swallowed but it hasn't. They now have your card and pin number.

Easy.

Says a lot for dealing in cash....

This scam relies on them seeing you type in your card number, either by attaching a small camera to the top of the ATM or some one looking over your shoulder.

Best thing to do is put your hand over the key pad when you type in your pin. Also run your finger along the card slot as the sleeve they use to retain your card will have two prongs that allow them to remove your card when you've gone.

How are you getting hit so badly Bedford is it dodgy online sites or are your cards getting swiped under the counter?

I've just had a long chat over the phone with the security section at MBNA, and she told me as far as she is aware it's not identity theft which is a relief to me.

She said they've got a big problem at the moment with fraudsters making thousands and thousands of fake cards with random numbers on and if one of them matches then off they go. And it seems i've been unlucky that way.

I only use Amazon/play.com etc and after last year i never let any of my cards out of my site so i've just been very unlucky it seems!

Yes that's what I meant. To clear up a few things... I work for Sainsbury's so that's the only way i knew about the device, I didn't notice it whilst using it, it may not have been there at that time. A customer found it. I cancelled my card as a precautionary. It was the far right one of the three at the Stratton store DV, incase you're still wondering?

and I am....seems luckily this week ive used the other two but not that one....!
