Cheeky, isn't it.

Had a spate of it in the town I work recently. Buggers never caught as they were typically trvelling criminals.

I always check machines for anything obvious but unfortunately, criminals of this type are normally one step ahead....!

I had my card stolen a while a back, but I didn't bother telling anyone because they where spending less than the Mrs.

Was it debit card or credit card?

My debit card got cloned at a petrol station pin as well and they tried to use it in Australia, luckily for me it was just a try and they didnt take anything and the bank phoned me and stopped it straight away.

Worst bit was the week wait for a new card and pin, no money for a week

Good luck getting it all sorted.

it was a debit card and i think it was done at a petrol station, iv been to the bank and they have faxed over my claim form and contacted the police , it will take 2 to 3 weeks before i see any money

2 to 3 weeks which will probably become 6 weeks

gl with it all tho

Yup, will take time. Been a month now since Citi stopped a transaction hitting my account from a shop in Thailand but the crooks took a small amount from an ATM as a test first. So far none of the declaration paperwork has shown up to get the ATM transaction removed from my bill and their unhelpful call centre refuse to put me through to the fraud department direct.

Interestingly I had used a petrol station I normally never use and a friend used the same one (she almost never uses her card). She was hit at the same time suggesting it's the petrol station. I now use my card only when I absolutely have to and in big places like supermarkets, where it's more difficult for one rogue employee to tamper with the equipment.

Who cares about the card, lets see some more avatars

Petrol station near me did me a few months back, was a shell garage.

In the event of your card being cloned and you are asked to destroy it, you can still get money at a branch with a piece of ID. That's what I did.

But TBH, very few people would want to carry cash around for a week. I tend to use my card for everything, which opens me up to liability for card fraud I know, but, my wallet gets nicked, I have a few bob in there, I'll be really p1ssed off (I'm a tight wadd y'see).
