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

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).

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.

      Tree Killer – Seeking Advice on Dealing with Toxic Neighbours

      By FellbriggSam · Posted

      There’s definitely something in what you say about upbringing, environment, and emotional health. It doesn’t excuse the behaviour, but it might help explain it. I do think low intelligence likely played a role here. People who aren’t taught to value life, whether human or natural, often end up reacting with hostility to the things they don’t understand or appreciate. It’s a sad reflection of both neglect and ignorance. Your suggestion of rehabilitation through something like woodland conservation or sapling planting is actually a lovely and meaningful idea. Let’s hope something good can come of their sentence, though I won’t be holding my breath. Looking forward to meeting you in person at the Forum drinks tonight, and fingers crossed Jasonlondon makes it too. His terrible neighbours really are quite the story.

      Watch videos of opening session, recap & livestream closing ceremony at 1630 today: More than 30 states gather in Bogotá to halt the Gaza genocide

      By IlonaM · Posted

      Direct link to livestream of closing ceremony and joint statement:  Today, the conference comes to a close with a joint statement — a historic declaration of collective action in defence of international law and human dignity. At 10:30 Bogotá, 11:30 New York, 16:30 London, 17:30 Paris, 21:00 New Delhi, join the closing ceremony live from the Colombian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The ceremony will feature Gustavo Petro, President of Colombia; Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories; Zane Dangor, Director General of South Africa’s Department of International Relations and Cooperation; Varsha Gandikota-Nellutla, Executive Secretary of The Hague Group; and Fillemon Wise Immanuel, Minister of Justice and Labour Relations of Namibia. The centrepiece of the ceremony will be the reading of the Joint Statement — the result of deliberation among participating governments. This statement will echo far beyond Bogotá. It marks a turning point in the global campaign to hold Israel accountable, protect the Palestinian people, and restore the rule of international law. Join us to witness this historic moment. In solidarity, The Progressive International Secretariat

      Roof replacement costs

      By LoftCompare · Posted

      We had the roof on our Victorian terrace replaced in 2023 and were charged just under £12,000, which included new slates, battens, breathable membrane, leadwork, and scaffolding. The cost was mainly due to the complexity of working on an older property and ensuring everything met current building standards.
