My card got cloned a few years ago too. Twat'sNest contacted me to say someone using my account had been buying hundreds of quids' worth of electricals from Dixons and Currys in Essex.
I didn't have to pay for any of it, thank god.

Result deman! How's the new plasma?

 I wish I knew!

Mine got cloned last year... Egg never bothered to ring me about it though

Renton, if you haven't already done so, you need to get Northern Rock to put a hold on your card and to get a replacement.NOW!

 Charming! Were you landed with any of the bill?

Having spent hours and hours on the internet, trying to buy music festival tickets for my daughter and her friends, we weren't best pleased when our bank decided it looked like a suspicious transation and cancelled it, without asking us first.

"Renton, if you haven't already done so, you need to get Northern Rock to put a hold on your card and to get a replacement.NOW!"



Yes thanx i requested that immediately

Nah, they sorted it aht, but I didn't realise til I looked at the bill at the end of the month

I miss them!   

my special friends....  

since bad MrDitty butchered you into little peices... RIP my fantastic plastic lovelies!

Virgin Money called me up twice - once to ask if I'd bought something online (I had) and once to ask if I'd paid about £15 to an online gaming site (I hadn't)   They said they thought it was 'suspicious activity'  because I don't usually use my card on a Sunday morning.  How shit hot is that... they know I like a lie in on a Sunday?    (This was only sunday lunchtime btw.. I was impressed)

For once i like Big Brother watching over me (no pun intended)

thats verging on spooky Kaffy...   

everytime me & my mum used to go on shopping trips to London (in the good old days before my dad retired)...  my dad would sit and wait for the phone to ring..  without fail mastercard would ring him up about the unusual level of activity on his card... and he would groan & say we were out shopping again!

Ditty, that's brilliant. Your poor dad, though.

It reminds me of that of story of a man phoned by his credit card company to see if he's made some suspicious purchases in Hong Kong. He said that neither he nor his wife had been to Hong Kong....then thought for a moment, he then asked how much had been taken and the credit card guy quoted a figure..."My God!" thought the man..."that's way less than the missus would spend"......"No it's okay" he responded "the card hasn't been stolen!"

actually...  once when we got home one evening from a girly shopping day... and dad was all worried.  they hadn't called and he had started getting all paranoid that we had been mugged or abducted or something!

aw.. I had forgotten about those shopping days... back before I had kids, and when dad was working...  and commission was something we celebrated as a family!

hahahahaha! Ditty thats hilarious
