Just had an email -they appear to have had an IT breach -possibility that personal data of travel money customers has been released.
They include name,address,email address, phone number and d.o.b on the list plus hashed site password but apparently not payment details.:eek:

Sadly the internet is not for you.
The post was taken in jest as the op had provided very little detail and as most people only know Ramsdens as chip shop that is where the humour went.0 -

Sorry - thought Ramsdens ( a High Street jewellery reseller) would be well known to savvy travellers as, for several years ,they offered the best high street exchange rates for euros/$$ ,outdoing the likes of Tesco, M & S AND all the banks.
I haven't used them for over a year as the rates have not been as advantageous.
Obviously not a major leak of data as I haven't seen it mentioned elsewhere and haven't had any follow up emails.
I appreciated the humour - but I thought Harry Ramsdens ( the chip shop) went bust several years ago.:)0 -

Savvy travellers rarely, if ever, change cash on the high street...Let's settle this like gentlemen: armed with heavy sticks
On a rotating plate, with spikes like Flash Gordon

I had a call from my UK bank a year ago to advise that a fraudulent transaction had been attempted on my cashcard, and been declined. The following day, I was given the details of the fraud attempt, and it was someone buying currency through Ramsdens. I made a couple of calls to Ramsdens, which resulted in them clsing down the account of the person who'd made the attempt, but despite repeated requests from my bank, they declined to give further information regarding the fraud.brewerdave wrote: »Just had an email -they appear to have had an IT breach -possibility that personal data of travel money customers has been released.

Nice people at Ramsdens, but their security is diabolical.0 -

Unless you are buying large amounts of currency I haven't found many better than Ramsdens online -reserve it then pick up from their shop. There are a few better online -but most charge for delivery if less than £500

Do their rates beat the best cards that most savvy travellers use0
