Bank Fraud

[fluffymark]

Some despicable meanie has cloned my bankcard, and has been withdrawing 1000 american dollars from my account every day for the last week from banks in California. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Only noticed this morning when I got my bank statement. Phoned bank, who were very nice, and didn't know how it happened, but I should eventually get all the money back (which is lots), although not sure in time to pay rent next week, or even whitby costs. Meanwhile, I have no money.

Wow, I'm glad you found out sooner rather than later, and very very glad your bank were so understanding. Get on their case to make them sort it out swiftly.

Dont forget to shred reciepts and statements before you bin them too. Guess that doesnt account for California *confused* Maybe someone sold your account details?

Could be recipts - i don't always fully shred them (i rip them up, but i suppose they could be reassembled) before hiding them in a few layers of bags and putting them in the waste. And I keep all my statements. And i'm certainly bemused by California - so was my bank - they'd have noticed and alerted me if it was somewhere like Nigeria or Afghanistan where my money was going, but don't seem capable of spotting fraud in America. I guess you're right, someone could have sold my details. But who??? Grrrrrrrr.
