    Three charge this when you take out a new contract with them. Three themselves aren't scamming you, but someone will have used your card to set up a new mobile contract. Check it out with Three and with your bank asap.

    I think it's quite funny the way the OP is so so concerned about the so-called '3-Maidenhead scam' which he claims has cost him 50p, and so apparently unconcerned about the 'unauthorised' cash withdrawals from ATM's .... love to know how he knows the exact time interval between the 'unauthorised' withdrawals as well. Yet he doesn't mention that his card may have been lost or stolen ....

    Love the way Newbie mitchlevy jumped on the bandwagon ...

    Hi Just checked my John Lewis credit card statement and found £15.00 a month has been taken from my card for the last 3 months by a company called 3-maidenhead cant find out what they are but am told its a scam, have had to cancel my card a real pain

    Did you ever actually think to call your credit card company and ask for information about these transactions or dispute them if you didn't recognise them, before cancelling your card? You say you can't find out who they are from but who did you ask? 3 is a BIG giveaway especially if you have a 3 phone!
    Don't you remember topping up your mobile/taking out the contract? Who told you it's quite a scam? Your bank, kalkajim or Mr John Lewis?
  • If you do an internet top up for a 3G "pay as you go" internet dongle it will show 3-Maidenhead on the Bank/credit card statement.
