Wondering whether anyone else has experienced something similar... My wife and I purchased some knives from John Lewis, which we later decided to return. Fortunately, we had kept the receipt; however, when we returned the knives, the cashier asked for the card with same last 4 digits as those on the receipt, digits which…

Scam - Vehicle Information
Beware, you think you are on DVLA but this scam takes an initial 50p from your account, then £5.95 every month. I've been in touch with my bank but very difficult to get through to banks at this time. I've been googling and there are many, many posts about this scam.

Avoid car key replacement rip-off
Hi! My car key fell apart and my first call was the dealership (Volkswagen, Vertu). They could not fix it so had to order a new one.
