Onine fraud at Dressfor Less

Just thought I'd put out a warning as Abbey stopped my card this morning as someone had tried to use my card for £357 at dress-for-less.co.uk. Kudos to Abbey for being so quick off the ball but now I have no access to my account unless I go in physically to the branch with ID to get cash out :mad:

Wondering if anyone else has had any dealings like this with this website before? I'm on their mailing list but never bpight anything frm them before and I ussally only buy online if they are verified by Visa or Mastercard.

I've also called my local police station who are brillaint and really clued up and they are now in contact with DFL to try and find out where the order is going to, so they can hopefully intercept it - if not them then the relevant police authority. Got an incident number straight away and am waiting for them to call back with Crime Number.

Hopefully I shouldn't be out of pocket as Abbey picked it up so quick but I can't find out unitl I get my online backing set up again - which could be weeks!!!:eek:

    If you've never shopped with them then it's possible the fraud isn't anything to do with dress for less, just that somebody has decided to shop there using your card.

    Thank god Abbey noticed it eh! Hope they find the thieving scumbags.
