I suspect that you have just posted your friends pin number on here. Might be worth changing it. It can happen that when a sales assistant puts the amount into the machine, they forget to press enter and then the customer puts in their pin number, thus the large amount that appears. Its no excuse but people should always check the amount.

Unless you have a LOT of money sitting in your current account (like more than ?126879) then the transaction will fail. So, a pretty poor scam if indeed it is one.

so when I read about nunhead on THIS FORUM its wrong, and a lot of Dulwich do come to nunhead to shop. they don't stay in Dulwich, look at the forum about PECKHAM RYE LANE is that in Dulwich ?? and I think that at this time of year we should all beware of this kind of thing, or am I wrong ?? so when we let the Dulwich forum readers know about ANY THING ABOUT THATS NOT IN DULWICH BEWARE YOU WILL BE CALLED SILLY BY

Alan Medic.

moved post to the lounge ?? i think it comes under general ed issues as this might be an issue, if your card was card cloned how would you feel, this could have happened as on the transaction it had the account number and the pin number ??? TOLD THE POLICE and they are looking in to it. so

Any transaction for that amount would fail.. ?126,879


The scam is.. ?12 is the cost of goods. 6879 is your pin.

They enter 12 and pass to you to enter your pin whilst still in enter amount mode.


The transaction is cancelled and the details entered correctly.

You are now unaware of any problem..


Now any rouge trader (and this may of been an innocent error) will now have your card number, pin, and security code.

A new card can be cloned and you get stuffed.


Simples..

Ahhh, good spot, Foxy. Missed that one.


That's a big spot, because you can reconstruct the data on the mag stripe of a card with most of the info that is on the card itself - it only holds 80 characters. Not usable in the UK (as you mist have a chip), but could be used overseas in a country that does not mandate chips (like the USA).

What did they say when you pointed this out to them?

unlurked most of workers carry cards AS THE WAGES GO IN TO A BANK not cash,

Loz i had my card cloned in the petrol station on the roundabout opposite east dulwich tavern about 2 years ago took all my money out within 5 hrs in india, so now I don't trust any one,

KalamityKel when I asked about this he said it was not a problem ??, and as I said to him not a problem for him but the bill had my pin and my account number on it, if he new a shop that takes card with just signing for as some still do,he could have used it. and then Alan Medic said "You are silly enough to write about something in Nunhead in this thread where technically it will be deleted as it's not ED specific" what a shame , so if ANY ONE tries to let people know about any thing that's NOT IN THE DULWICH AREA be warned, they will call you SILLY LIKE I WAS BY MR ALAN MEDIC, now I expect this post to be removed as I am SILLY

HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL AND A GREAT NEW YEAR.

    • I usually use Mason and Green recently to get to Heathrow. They arrived early and were extremely reliable. The cars are immaculate and had friendly drivers. They also provide child seats for all ages. Used them at 6am. 
    • I think you can write to your local council to get the street cleaned more regularly. Also the may put more posters up to remind ppl to do clean up 
    • Absolutely right.  The other issue is that rescue centres like Celia Hammond make it nearly impossible to adopt a kitten or cat that desperately needs a home. I know many many people who have tried to adopt and have been refused, and only one couple who have been deemed to have a good enough home. The reasons people have been refused have been that they aren't in a position to take two kittens - unless it's changed recently you weren't considered unless you took 2 as cats  wouldn't be homed without a companion. But lots of people can't afford to feed and insure 2 pets. Another reason I've heard several times is that the potential adoptee lives on a road, not an A road or the south circular but just a road. But what is the other option they're looking for? A country estate? Another reason a couple of friends have been refused is that they have jobs and Celia Hammond said that they were looking for people who were at home all day . So again, what are they looking for? People who can afford not to work?  We are told 'adopt don't shop' but out of the many many families or individuals I know who have tried to give a loving home to a kitten / cat literally only a couple have been accepted, so have ended up buying a kitten. People who have had cats all their lives and adore cats. Of course it's important that adoptees are vetted but it's problematic that cat charities are deciding that a cat / kitten without a home would rather live in a cage at a rescue centre than with a loving person who has a job or lives on a road or cannot afford to pay for the upkeep of more than one pet. My friend has recently tried for months to adopt kittens or cats through various centres and although she was prepared to take two, was rejected by all rescue centres  as she lives on a (quiet) residential road in ED and doesn't work from home every day. She works from home 3 days a week. It's insane.
