Banghead Banghead Banghead
I mentioned this the other day but now the details are coming in with my online statement.
How the flying fuck can someone get away with multiple transactions at the same two clothing stores in Las Vegas (Gucci and Fendi btw) on an obvious foreign card number without someone in the store(s) being extremely stupid?
No I take that back
How the flying fuck etc etc without someone in the store(s) being extremely complicit?
Anyway the saga rolls on, I have persuaded Visa that no I will not make the immediate payment they demanded to get me below the credit limit. Words like "which part of you saying you'd cancelled the fraudulent transactions did I misunderstand" were used.
If you see a "used kidney, one mostly careful owner" on sale on eBay you'll know it has gone badly so please bid generously
-
Is it a cloned card or did you lose it?

Is it a cloned card or did you lose it?
Sounds like he has almost lost it. noooo:
-
Is it a cloned card or did you lose it?
Cloned and almost certainly from when I was in the USA in May
They won't let me know the details of all the transactions, I've seen just over half of them by value and they are all over £1k each.
I consider myself a fairly robust person but I dread to think how some might react seeing a bill like that arrive with an immediate demand for £thousands

Checks e=bay........ whistle:

I've lost and cancelled my debit card.
This cloning is a major problem and of great concern, and wtf's all this shite about this new method of purchasing stuff up to the value of 20 snotters without ANY i.d, pin numbers or signatures all about too ey?
Absolutely unbelievable. eeek:

Oh yes. But not about this as (maybe naively) as Nick's experience says I figure Visa will sort it. Mrs K is a bit put out by it
Posted it up really as thought it would amuse and a cautionary tale

Not a nice feeling at all Steve - and yes I agree (in some cases) the stores/operators are complicit evil:
We had an instance a few years back over here after having paid for Opera tickets - luckily for us they started (ha ha ) using the card almost immediately and when we went to draw cash the next day we couldner noooo:
Then the palaver of confirming that no we had not spent xxxxx amount of Ethiopian airline tickets - card blocked, new issued etc etc
But it does send a bit of a funny tingle up your back because it just reconfirms that there are a lot of dodgy people out there............ and (heed this please BM) you need to check your transactions VERY CAREFULLY
Any-ways, drivel over - hope you get it all sorted out quickly pathead:

Cheers LL
Just checked and it's still showing the duff transactions and way over credit limit
I guess it's going to take some time. 13 grand is way more than the profit Visa will make from me in any real time frame or indeed ever so they're not going to write it off and will be saying tough luck to the stores and they are hardly going to be happy writing it off either so will be saying it was really me. So we'll have all the fun and games of someone looking at CCTV etc and saying "look with that ugly visage and mutant features it must be Steve"

What happens to your credit limit in the mean time ???
You have (I Hope) insisted they issue a new card....................

Oh yes, I have the new card and they immediately blocked that until I clear the excess over the credit limit Banghead

Well some progress.
About half of the scam transactions have been erased but seems I have to wait another 2 weeks at least to see if the rest "will be refunded" Slightly worrying that wording

We used to have an Account with Lloyds which had all Mrs K's salary paid into it and suddenly they refused to talk to her on the phone unless I gave my written permission. She'd had that account with them for over 30 years FFS so one account transferred to Barclays pdq but they've started playing silly buggers so we now also have an account with the Nationwide who are really good
so far

Do you want to add it to my bar bill or shall I photocopy another one for you?
[serious mode] This took 2 weeks to resolve and was starting to bug me but at the end of the day I had at least that in savings and could see it would get sorted. There are plenty of people out there that a loss like this would drive them over the edge and for 2 weeks might have seriously feared the very worst. It doesn't take much to push some into walking in front of trains. A key cause is credit card companies deciding you no longer have to tell them when you intend to use your card abroad, not even the USA where there's no chip and pin. They need to rethink IMHO.
