    UPdate:

    State-of-the-art technology stored the cardholders’ details – including their sort code, account number and Personal Identification Number (PIN) – allowing fraudsters to clone their cards within minutes.

    More than 250 drivers have joined an online group warning other motorists of the card-cloning operation.

    I was hoping the MSE site would have provided a Thread just for Plastic Card Fraud (Debit Card, Credit Card, Store Card etc)

    Aim to provide subscribers/readers with information and warnings on these types of Scams. Victims telling of their experiences and Tips & Hints
