Are any of them clean?

Depends on your definition of clean surely?

Compared to a pig stye which hasnt been mucked out for a few days...or compared to a sterile lab or kitchen.

I had an embarassing moment on a mystery shop this morning cos my debit card was declined. I paid cash in the end and when I came out of the store I tried to top up my phone using same card and it wouldn`t let me. On the way home I was phoned by my bank only to be told it appears someone has been using my card details all over the weekend and purchasing online this morning! My card is now stopped...and cut up and my account has been temporarily frozen!!
I know that my buying habits are erratic cos of the mystery shopping but they had spotted a difference in the spending habits!
Omg...I am in a terrible state. Keep your fingers crossed I can sort it out :eek:

Oh dear Squeaky hope things turn out ok. Do you think someone has cloned your card then or is it because you've been doing too much mystery shopping in strange places that your bank has stopped your card? Hope it gets sorted soon!

They asked me to confirm where I had used the card over the weekend and then asked if I had used it at XYZ and I hadn`t...my heart sank. They then asked me if I had purchased online this morning and of course I hadn`t so they have had to suspend the account . I paid all my cash and cheques in this morning as well! Am about to raid my petty cash tin to get petrol....:mad:

Oh dear, I've had my account used fraudulently and I have to be honest I couldn't fault my bank - they resurrected my account straight away and I was issued a new card within days. It's a load of hassle and an inconvenience but it's good that they noticed early on.

Oh dear Squeaky! I hope that they get it sorted out for you. It was very clever of the bank to spot it so quickly. I am sure that it will all be fine :grouphug:

I have just picked up an urgent couple of crisp jobs to be done tonight and wonder if anyone has any advice to me on how to do them. I have got letters of authorization for both stores, however am I as well to try and do them covertly for speed? I can either use my Blackberry or a proper camera, any advise on which one is going to be the best if i am trying to do them covertly?

Well done! Still trying to get one . Does anyone know if they normally upload the petrol jobs in area batches? Not seen our local ones as yet.

Whilst on the subject of aba-i, is there a link to register for the catalogue jobs, or do you have to ring for this one? Managed to find web links for all the other companies they do.
