Credit card fraud??

[fishbiscuits]

Has anybody else used a local business recently for a home delivery, and subsequently had their card used fraudulently? I'm struggling to think how else it might have happened. Please PM if you've had a similar experience - but don't post any business names here. Apologies if it's a false alarm.

Yes! Both myself and a family member had fraudulent activity on account in the past few weeks. I haven't used a local home delivery though. I wondered whether this kind of thing was up in general

you wouldn't have this problem if yoy used cash.:-(

LOL. Sounds like nobody else had the issue - which is a relief really. I had a suspicion, which has probably turned out to be wrong.

Johnl in hindsight is there anything you could have done that may have prevented your money being stolen. If it was not a case of you simply losing it. The banking system takes away our responsibility for the safety of our own money.I hope bank refund you money fishbiscuits.

Yes - not carried large sums of money - I learnt my lesson and never did after that. Most I've lost since was about 50 from a pocket snatch (if it happen you know what I mean) in the west end.
