Attempted fraud on my card

therevelator

I recently found out that someone had attempted a fraud on my card; £600 worth of computer equipment from a company misco.co.uk.

Does this sound familiar?

Out of curiousity, what happens with these frauds? Presumably the fraudster would have put "ship to a different address" and so therefore there is a starting point for any criminal investigation.

Yeah you'd think the address might be a clue to the banks, but I think they don't really care or bother to investigate, they just charge the amount back to the company that sent the goods as the card holder wasn't present. Police don't get involved from what I've read on this forum.

I had my card charged for £900 worth of goods from a computer company. I guess so the fraudster could go on to bigger and better things, they changed my address with the bank so shipping to a different registered address wasn't a problem. I have no idea how you could do this!? One thing getting hold of card details, but changing your address too!?!
So the bank had this new address, which I assume is where the goods went, I've heard nothing if they followed it up or the light threat of the police being involved, I think that was more to scare me if I was the one behind it all, which I got the impression the fraud dept really didn't believe me.

Last year my card details were fraudulently used to make almost £4000 worth of transactions over the internet & the fraudsters had arranged for the goods to be delivered to my home address. These days they are brazen enough to wait outside your house for deliveries to arrive.

It only fell apart when the retailers involved asked the person claiming to be me for a utility bill in my name because of the large amount of money involved.
