Someone is having fun in Mexico

[BRobson]

and it is not me

Tried to get money out yesterday and I was told I had insufficient funds DH works in the bank so called him and asked why but told me he was busy and just to go into the branch. In I went and asked the girl at the desk to which she informed me that I had £2000 of pending transactions At first I though it was DH buying some $$$$$ but on closer inspection it was loads of transactions for £200/£300 etc all used in Mexico. They did manage to have a Starbucks,go to the cinema and buy something in Sears which is nice

Filled in all the forms and proved we were not living it up in Mexico so just waiting for Fraud dept to refund our££££££.

It was our debit card and we dont use them online so not sure how they got the details

That's terrible! Maybe your card was cloned?

I hope you get your money back ASAP Jackie.

 

[Minniespal]

That's shocking Jackie. Hope you get your money back quickly.

 

[BRobson]

Thanks guys - we are lucky enough to not be stuck for money and dont expect it will be too long but I would love to know where they got the details from? That is the unsettling part

 

[mandymouse]

OMG, that's terrible Jackie, I hope it's all sorted out quickly

A favourite scam is at petrol stations where they skim your card. Often alot of people get hit at one particular location in less than a day.

The bank called at 5 to say the funds were back in the account - very efficiant for once

I would love to know how they got the details but I dont suppose we will ever know

I have never used my debit card online, and only use it in a cash machine,Tescos, M & S and other high street stores so I am at a loss. All this technology and I just want to go back to using cash at the moment
