NatWest fraud dept called me to say that the police have advised them that my card has been compromised...they then checked all transactions which were fine. All they would say that it may have happened at a cash point (apparently the card reading devices are very sophisticated now and you wouldn't be aware of one on the machine!)OR I may have used my card at a store where a member of staff may have taken down my card details.....This is ALL they could tell me, as anymore may compromise the police investigation.


Anyone else had a call like this? Note I called NatWest back on telephone number known to me just to be certain I was speaking with the bank!!


I rarely use this card in shops but always use this card to draw cash out at Sainsburys East Dulwich.........

Cash machines and Chip and Pin devices have been suffering with "technical" issues of late... As long as you keep an eye on your accounts and notify you bank etc as soon as possible of any strange goings on in your account there isn't too much to worry about

I know that the police are not able to access my bank details without warrant.

I am assuming that someone has been arrested and my card details have been found with them........hence compromising police investigation.


Do you think by "compromised" they mean cloned because I have the card.......curiouser and curiouser......

I've just had a call from my bank last Friday saying that they have refused a transaction and when I looked at my account there was another transaction I hadn't made either. Both totalled to around ?350. I don't tend to use Sainsburys cash machines, however I have used one in the last 2 weeks.


They are refunding the transaction that went through and said they will investigate this.

It could be one of a number of things - individual arrested/property searched/goods seized and your card details amongst them - in an e-mail, on a bit of paper, on a clone, or could be failed transactions detected as fraud by a retailer.


'Compromised' just means security has been breached in some way i.e. your private info is in the hands of someone who shouldn't have it.

Compromised can also mean that you have used your card in a place where there has been a victim of fraud - you may not be but you might if you see what I mean. My card was deleted by the bank a while back because I'ld used it in a machine that had been compromised. Didn't affect me but it's a precaution. Doesn't necessarily mean someone has your details.

hmmm, not sure about that... my fiance's bag was pinched one night, and the crooks managed to withdraw cash from four different cards. it took nearly four months for those holding out to pay it back.


not a pleasant experience.

    • Nasty piece of work. Targets locations with a healthy independent presence and farmers’ markets; typical vampire capitalism. Great supporter of a Brexit too. All good reasons to go elsewhere, preferably small independent., 
    • Hi, oglander , Congratulations on your soon-to-arrive little lion - how exciting! It's always lovely to hear someone taking the adoption route (shelters are having a major crisis at the moment!). I've been in business for 15 years & can say with certainty that most cat owners in Dulwich have catflaps so, not only are they easy to have installed, but you shouldn't find yourself short of helping hands on these local forums. A catflap is a brilliant way to keep your little lion safely in overnight as well as generally keeping track of their comings & goings. I'd be happy to walk you through the set up once you've chosen your model (SureFlap & PetSafe are two popular brands). I'm sure the rescue has already advised, but just in case they haven't, it'll be very important to keep your newly adopted cat housebound for the first 2 weeks to familiarise themselves with their new home. Once they've scent-mapped the house, you can gradually begin letting them out to explore & scent-map the garden. Exciting times! x
    • Hello all,  If your child goes to this gym club: since the new payment system, have you received clear information about the cost per session, the cost per term and when sessions will be omitted eg for school opened days? (I have asked the club, more than once, no full response so far) This term started in late August, before school had gone back (did many attend that session?). Next term there is no break for half term, so there are 12 sessions to be paid. Does that seem to be more sessions than there used to be?    I am sure they are doing their best, but the info from the new auto pay system isn’t detailed enough, and the auto pay just takes an unspecified amount. I wondered if it’s just me (wanting more detail), or if there are others too? (my child loves the gym itself!) thanks 
    • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent service! We had one of Paul Edgley’ s team come to fit some new lights in our living room. They were able to come at reasonably short notice, arrived on time, were friendly and professional, and did a great job. Everything was left clean and tidy afterwards, and the lights look fantastic. Highly recommend! Paul’s contact details are 07802 627967
