Hey all,

Just a quick warning if you are out and about or travelling through Central Scotchland, specifically West Lothian.

Just had my bank card cloned and it was used in Australia early this morning. Fecking crooks 
Bank have cancelled card and covered any transactions that were not mine which is really fortunate, some have not been so lucky.
Plod reckon it has been done in one of the local Shell Petrol Station ATM's but I can't remember using one recently, at least in the past 2-3 weeks so I reckon it has been a cashier in a shop.

Anyway, just a wee reminder to be extra careful with what you've worked hard for,  more so at this time of year when most are spending for Christmas. Ho Ho

it was on the bbc the other day there, the shell stations are just one place, turned out it went on in cafe's bars restauraunts as well, with loads being taken out in canada and australia

That'll be it then, I was on a Christmas night out on Friday, started in a resturaunt and then some bars.
 Was too merry to remember  where I'd spent on my card. 
Will need to check statement when it arrives.
Fecking crooks are everywhere.

its cash all the way in resturants and cafes for me unless i know them and have used them alot beforehand. i know too many people who have been ripped off like this, it seems to be common place these days.

When I paid for a Jacket at the NEC on Sat thay had to phone for autorisation.......Set alarm bells ringing in my head.

Turned out my card had been rgistered on Napster.....not by me.

Luckily nothing had been charged.

had mine done last week, I reckon mine was got of an internet site though , as all my transactions were internet ones , I got all my money back now....

[jonah]

of course the best way to deal with this is to max out all your credit cards! that way they cant get fook all!!! 

[john.658]

Oh no jonah, 
my missus reads these threads, if she reads your advice I'd be cheaper letting the villans have my cards!
