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.

ouch! Poor you, thats shit!
the bank should be able to refund quickly? give a big overdraft limit in the meantime?
i'm sure you could persuade them to be helpful somehow!
Good Luck.

Not sure on what timescale i'll get the money back. Soon I hope. But it won't be right away - they're sending me a form i have to fill in with details of all the fraudulent transactions, and then i send it back, so think won't be happy again until at least next week.

And i've just posted a lot of cheques out for bills, BT will direct debit my account today, and i have to pay the rent on the 9th. Eeep. I may need a large overdrafet to cover all of that. Not to mention my glastonbury deposit, and whitby expenses.
