Flipping card cloned AGAIN!

[Masood]

Got a text from Tesco Bank just now. Do I recognise a £556 transaction? Couple of months ago it was my business debit card, this time my personal credit card. Fecking pain in the arris!

Feel for you mas, touch wood it hasn`t happened to me yet.

do you use that card any of the same places as the other one?

I can't think of any mate.. Could be anyone really but it's reassuring that the bank asked me to confirm the transaction. It'll be a small inconvenience not to have my card for a few days but better than having to chase it all up myself after seeing the statement...

Might have to dip into one of those pillowcases for a few days then. lol

No good, I got £300 just under from nationwide few months ago

For concert tickets, it was from a company I constantly get junk email from in Holland.

All sorted out but it's a pain

Checked the drinks cupboard. Plenty of gin and whisky so I'm safe...

ive got a good meathod for not being affected if my card gets lost/stolen or cloned,

I've got less than 150 in all my accounts on a good day,
I like spending money

Correct, who knows what tomorrow brings. Spend if it makes you happy

Have you considered using a real bank & not a supermarket...?

 

[bcp]

I took out a prepay card for any and every online or phone or store (especially fuel) transaction I need to do. Yes it costs just under a fiver per month, but it means I NEVER have to divulge my main account (and that's where I keep my money) to anyone. Over the years it's paid off. I only keep a float in the account and top up when necessary. Customers paying by BACS pay into my normal business account. So, if there was a hack, I would only lose the couple of hundred I keep in there. I have to say too, that it's never been hacked. Worth thinking about.

My business account is with Cooperative bank and that also got cloned. Tesco Bank is a real bank. Incorporated as one, run as one, governed by the same laws as all the others. Just because it's relatively new doesn't mean it's not real.
