Blooming fraudsters

thatsyourlot

I have just had a call from "Royal Mail" fraud team to let me know that my c/c has been used to try & purchase £975 worth of stamps online. Now the only reason this fabby man rang me was because the address that these stamps are to be sent to, is well known to royal mail for being dodgy.

Now obvs I telephoned my card issuer straight away & it appears that some scummy B%%%%%*S have put nearly £2000 on my c/c.

My question now is, as I am pettioning my own BR next month, what happens to these fraudulent charges, do I now have to put them down on my BR papers?? Hope im making sense.

My card is now blocked but Im a little worried as to whats going to happen with all this.

It never rains but it pours..... I am So bloo**y fed up

Don't worry about it. It will all go into your BR anyway. Let your bank sort it out.

Maybe I could tell the OR that this is the reason for ALL of my debt...lol

Have you told the Police. It might help your case with the OR if you have a crime number and contact number of the Police.

As far as I understand it, with bankruptcy all your unsecured debts are written-off. You debt would fall into that category I think. The Official Receiver will pay them a proportion of any money he gets from you.

Apparently the c/c company are will look into it. The police are not interested & have said that "due to lack of resources" the onus now lies with the c/c company.

Im just glad that the guy from royal mail fraud team got in touch with me via phone yesturday.

The only reason he did ring was because the address where all these stamps were meant to be delivered to, is a well known address to the roayl mail fraud team & thats what flagged it up for them. The guy from royal mail got my tel number from directory enquiries. The "order" for all the stamps had my c/c number used with the 3 digit code on the back of the card plus the address tallied up but as they had wanted the stamps sent to another address, this is why it was flagged.

The only think they got wrong was they wanted them posting to a MR **** but the c/c is in MRS ****.

The fraudulent charges are all down in London & I am up in Yorkshire.

The guy from royal mail fraud team is right up in Scotland & he said that if they had the resources that they would go down to address themselves with a delivery & catch them out.
Apparently mine was the 3rd c/c that day to be flagged up for dodgy usage, so thank goodness that they are on the ball @ the fraud team, coz my bank certainly didnt get in touch with me about it all.

I have not even used the c/c myself since it was issued in April, so I cant work out where the heck they have got the details from... All I can think of is somebody at the palce where they issue c/c from is on the take...

Anyway the c/c is blocked now & now its up to me to prove to the c/c company that I didnt use my card.
