Just had a call from my credit card provider in respect of some suspicious activity on my card. Turns out someone has had a bit of a spree on my behalf and has racked up about ?5k. I should get it all back, however it's a bit a of mare as I'm off to Italy next week and always use my card when abroad. The transactions made me laugh when she read them out on the phone. 3 of them in particular: ?1,353 in Threshers Wine Shop ?1.98 in MacDonalds ?785 in Threshers Wine Shop Fancy using a cloned card for a MacDonald's. Tight arses!!! Was suspicious about the transactions as they're all local to me so I asked the girl as the only local payment that I've made was for petrol. Apparently the most common cause of card cloning is at petrol pumps, so I have now learnt my lesson. Just thought I'd share this in case anyone else uses that petrol station. The Shell garage that is.
