AAAGH!

Blimey, just tried to withdraw some money unsuccessfully only to discover someone in Benin's been doing it for me....every day....for the last 5 days...

?1900 !!!!!!!!

I don't even own a car!!!

[Floating Onion]

Yikes. Is the bank at least being helpful? Good luck.

[mockney piers]

They've been fine, but will still take 3 weeks for my money to reappear and in the meantime my card's been cancelled, so only have weekday, lunchtime access to funds.

[Floating Onion]

That's not good. At least they're sorting it & not messing you around on that.

Sorry to hear that Mockers - though not surprised given the hard time you were having with cash machines the other morning. Wonder why they couldn't tell then that there were odd goings on, withdrawals in Africa and such.

[mockney piers]

You'd have thought, I guess as it was a sunday or something, but there should have been pending withdrawals visible to them.

Dunces!!

[Ladygooner]

Sorry to hear that Mockers. Which bank are you with?

[SeanMacGabhann]

yowsa - what a major pain. If you need any help in the short term let us know

I've said it before - but if you can get your bank to send mini-statements to your phone ever day that's a really good thing to have.

[mockney piers]

Cheers everyone.

Halifax LadyG. As I say, they were pretty helpful and didn't draw beady eyes at me once, but they could have been a bit more on the ball in nipping this in the bud.

We'll have a whip round for you in the Herne on Friday night!

[Michael Palaeologus]

Oh dear, this means you wil now have be extra EXTRA nice to Mrs Mockers so that she will give you dinner money.

Harsh stuff, mockers, much sympathy.

[Have we considered the possibility that the future Mrs.mockers has just overspend on wedding flowers by a couple of grand and has yet to fess up? annaj needed keeping an eye on in the run up to our big day... ;-) ]

Ok, you weren't in the doghouse for not mentioning me on the favourite forumites thread, but for that you really are.

Just you wait til I get home...

Mockney, that's such a pain, I'm really sorry.

I'll by you a pint of something soothing tomorrow.

I had a call from my credit card fraud section today asking if the ?50 transaction to Vodaphone this afternoon was anything to do with me. It wasn't and I thought that was pretty on the ball of them to spot it. Turns out the perps had tested the card with a transaction for a penny first which alerted the bank. AAAAAnyway, sorry to hear that MP, where is Benin?

What I wonder is how do the buggers get the details? They must have your PIN also MP if they are withdrawing cash.
