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.

      GALA 2026

      Surprise, surprise. It didn't take them long, did it. This will be something of a test as to how much the council really care about parks and the environment. A footfall of 60,000. Are they mad? There is no way this park is designed for or can sustain that sort of use. Just had a look at the schedule. If allowed to go ahead, this will involve a large slice of the park (not the common) sectioned off and out of use for three weeks of May and the first week of June. Here's an idea, why not trial the festival in one of the other Southwark Parks, so the 'goodness' can be shared around the borough?

      Police appeal: Monday, 25 August – Assault between the junction of Lordship Lane and Chesterfield Grove at around 16:45hrs

      By mima08 · Posted

      There was another unprovoked attack on Monday this week on a young woman nearby (Anstey Road) at 6.45pm. Don't have any other details, it was posted on a Facebook group by her flatmate. Pretty worrying  https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1EGfDrCAST/

      Dulwich library closing for refurbishment

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      OMFG is it possible for the council to do anything without a bunch of armchair experts moaning about it? The library refurb is great news, as it's lovely but completely shagged out - the toilets don't even work reliably. Other libraries in the area will be open longer house during the closure. July is a rubbish time to begin a refurb because it's just before the entire construction sector goes on summer holiday, and it would mean delaying the work another 8 months.
