my card has been cloned

[embee]

Folks, really try not to use credit and especially debit cards in petrol stations, they are dire places for scams. There have been half a dozen petrol stations round here which have repeatedly had spates of card fraud. I had one occasion when they didn't want to give me change for a £20 note when filling the bike, and they wanted me to use a credit card (I said take it or leave it, I've offered to pay, if you don't want cash I'll be on my way, they then took the cash).

I still don't understand why we can't opt for chip&pin use only on our cards, at least it would stop the far east "magnetic strip" fraudsters which seem to account for a lot of the scams.

Staffs won't investigate as the banks already do their own investigation.

You will get it back just takes time.

I have one word for them and it starts and ends in T and has WA in the middle

I suspect my problem was Shell based as well. Ironically they cloned my Shell credit card...

It's a nuisance when you're so used to using a card all the time to revert back to cash but I'd rather have a few quid on me and know I'M looking after it than let some thief in Thailand help themsleves!!
