Currys/Egg Card Fraud

Dopple

I got an automated message from Egg a few days ago to confirm a purchase that had been made on my card. I hadn't made the purchase so got in touch with them.

Today I receive a Sales Receipt from Currys with the Delivery Address of where the item has been sent. Should I contact Egg or the Police with this information?

Contact Egg, following a change in the law a little while ago it is up to Egg to report the matter to the Police, although I doubt they'll bother.

Contact Egg.
Currys will get a charge back
You will get your money back BUT expect your card to become a less reliable payment medium especially when you try to use it for unmanned purchases - such as late night rail ticket machines. You will never be able to prove you were not in on the scam.
See if you can get them to let you check out all the "in-process" transactions on-line before your card is frozen.
New card will take a day or two to arrive.
Everybody is happy, especially the government who have avoided another addition to the crime statistics.
