Desperate - ripped off on my credit card in a lapdancing club

Why don't you ring the credit card company and explain it to them?

...could there be a possibility you were drugged/your drink was spiked?

or that he was an idiot and was just very drunk and made a mistake and is now trying to blame everyone else

Noz

Does the club have any CCTV coverage of you making the transactions? It may shed light on what sort of shape you were in.

If you were simply drunk then there may not be any further action to take.

Whilst I respect your right to comment, how is your post helping the OP?

i have never been to a strip club but i still cannot work out what you would spend 4k on .. i mean even if drinks were expensive you would had to have ordered at least 1000 and for that you would most probably be dead

Reminds me of the time when I had too many ciders and purchased a crap ipod holder from ebay, just took it on the chin. :beer:

I'm very surprised that your card allowed so many transactions to go through.

Lap dancing clubs are legal in the UK, so forget humiliation etc. What exactly are they claiming you paid for that's worth £4000?

It's not impossible for drinks to be spiked and or someone to observe a PIN being entered.

Call the cc company quickly.

I was once the victim of an attempted card fraud from a late night drinking establishment in Spain. I found out later that it was a brothel. It just looked like a bar.

So it would appear that the sex industry has a closed relationship with criminal activity.

Maybe he was buying drinks for all his new lady friends or putting towards the cost of their clothes as they weren't wearing much and thought they might catch a cold.

I have offered help in my previous post but i cant believe that people would be making excuses for him .

I do not know what happend and niether does he !! so i am simply making a point . I have been drunk many times as im sure most people have been but i have only three occasions of when i was so drunk i dont remember anything . I cannot blame anyone else for my behaviour during these periods and i have to accept the consequences .. Usually trying to chat someone up i shouldnt (as in str8 man or minger)

I now know my limits now and stick to them

And I can't work it out either Rob...

I appreciate some doubt the authenticity of my claims in the post, but my absence of recall is genuine, as is my distresss.
