Either my Mrs is in Big Trouble or some scallywag has spent nearly £700 of my money :@

Bank can't do anything now as the debit won't show until tomorrow. err hello?, stop the payment? Grrr
 

I'm hopefully going to find out who the fraudsters been shopping with tomorrow. Then things will get interesting...
 
Talk to your bank as frequently as possible, get names and numbers of people to talk that can help you. I had a fraudulent charge on an old Citibank account for $10,000, and the Citi fraud department handled it all well (well beyond I could have asked). But a credit card and your bank account/debit aren't the same. Best of luck.
 
...it is a worry. Presume its Cyber crime, which is on the up but the banks are making so much money they tend to accept liability. Some have risk factors which trigger an alarm if there is unusual activity. My missus got a call from her bank because somebody was using her card number in India, fortunately it was spotted. I'm very nervous about using internet banking but the fraudsters are so clever its difficult to stay ahead of them.

I was a fraud investigator for 7 years and nobody can STOP a payment once it has happened.

Its more than likely going to be 1 of the following
* Online spend by which someone has got your details from either an online merchant who has been hacked, or someone with in the company has sold on your details to a fraudster
* Card has been cloned at an ATM, if this is the case they will only be able to use it at a cash machine, as Chip cards are unable to be compromised (to date).
* Online gambling, by where someone looses your money to someone they know on a poker site or other form of table game.
* Non UK, your card has been copied somewhere and the details are downloaded to a PC, and a fake card has been produced and used in a Non UK country which doesnt have mandatory chip n pin.

Either way, the bank will not likely chase the fraudsters, its a billion pound industry and the bank will only take notice if they are at a loss. The police dont care either, i spent years trying to get police to investigate fraud of £10,000+ and it never got looked at.

Let us know how you get on.
 
Well, the bank said they were worried about my card and fraud so they sent me a brand new card. A week after I get it, this. Makes me think its an inside job.

I think I'm going to close the account and move to another bank once its sorted
 
Bank said the visa was from Fuji, called them up and stopped the electrical items (camera) being delivered to the fraudster in Leicester. Used our surname but called himself "Pierre".

Bad luck Frenchy, no camera for you today, the long arm of the law will be feeling your collar pretty soon my friend....
 

Me too.. Some lid went all crazy in Abercrombie&fitch to the tune of about 6 or 7 hundred quid.... Santander fraud from Portugal phoned me up as I had withdrawn Money from my hometown around th same time which is about 400 miles away .... I had to go to my local branch and call a secure number from there... Got it all back.
