Who is this guy 3-MAIDENHEAD scammer

This company took money from my credit card few months ago £5.00, i informed bank and bank also paid me back.

Again this month also it happened, why the bank cannot control these scammers. It is really irritating, i'm going to tell them to send another card.

Is there anything else can i do. If he managed to take £5.00 it is not hard for him to use my full credit and escape.

My advise don't subscribe for online statement at-least if you receive statement in papers it would have been checked by you or someone in your home.

    Thanks for your valuable information jacktyler.

    My another advise to everyone here is change your card every 6 months, ask them bank to resend it. Dont keep any card more than a year, some cards comes with 5 years validity. Not good for us.

    All the bloody banks dont have any proper system. They will have to realise otherwise we will change card for every 6 months to escape from these scammers.

    ??????

    Its not a guy... Its the 3 mobile phone network.

    If it was fraudsters they would take a damn sight more than £5.00 per month! Same with a cloned card!

    have you read the other threads i posted?

    i'm assuming (rightly or wrongly) that truthman doesn't have any connection with 3, or he wouldn't have asked.

    in the other examples, it started off with small amounts being taken, as if they didn't want to be noticed, then progressed to larger amounts.

    there are other examples on the net, if you google it.

    i'm not saying that is what's happening here, i'm just giving the information to truthman.

    Just talked to Bank, it is really annoying, when it happened second time then only Bank will do the proper investigation with their Fraud investigation department.

    First time it always goes to dispute if spammers agree to pay back then bank dont take any action against the company.

    Someone mentioned it is 3 network, it is nothing to do with three, Spammer could use transaction description anything even it could be your name as well.

    if you check on internet 3 Mainhead, you can see how they are cheating everyone, the annoying thing still bank happy to deal with these spammers without any knowledge.
