Swampy442 Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Rapped? Were they spitting mad rhymes at you? In all seriousness Ive been had before but only for 80 quid, a case of the small amount to see if you notice before they really rape you. My bank (Lloyds) were really good, card cancelled and replace inside 3 days and the cash refunded inside 5. The worst of it all is I had no idea how they got it as Im very vigillant with cash points and stuff. Bad luck mate and good luck getting a quick resolution Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_aero Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Happened to me - you'll get your money back....in a few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 If it's debit card theft, then the bank will return the money to you, if you can point out the illegal activity. If it's credit card theft, then you're insured within a certain time frame anyway. Just make sure the bank(s) cancel the cards, and get any proof together as soon as possible. This happened to me a few years ago, and I had over £3,000 stolen from my bank account through some dodgy online payment. I'd only bought something for around £10! I've been cautious ever since, but the banks are very good at returning the funds to you swiftly. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyP Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Happened to me a couple of weeks ago. Went to use my card and it was declined. Turned out the card had been cloned but luckily the bank had spotted it before any money had been taken. Hope you get this sorted quickly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attero Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 People think I'm weird but I always feel up the cash machine to make sure there are no unusual objects lying about. The scam happens way too often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shell have the card thing pointing at you though, they never even touch your card! People think I'm weird but I always feel up the cash machine to make sure there are no unusual objects lying about. The scam happens way too often. I just cover my hand when I type my pin, there's no way a camera could spot what I'm typing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick_karkie Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 I think he means that he checks that there are no card scanners stuck onto the cashpoint trying to copy his card details Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 I think he means that he checks that there are no card scanners stuck onto the cashpoint trying to copy his card details The info they get from scanners are no good without a pin though are they? The numbers don't include the security number from the back of the card so they can't order online or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
