Fraudulent activity on bank account

Your friend needs to get hold of their reports from the credit reference agencies. They can then see what has been taken out in their name and contact the companies concerned. A marker can also be put on via CIFAS
I had ID fraud in my name and had a number of mail order catalogue accounts set up - luckily only one of them sent anything out as the others saw the details didn't match up. At the end of the day the company being defrauded is the victim as long as your friend can prove he didn't open the accounts

after he had made the purchase, he started to receive quite alarming phone calls, from someone who was supposed to work for tesco mobile, kids were heard in the background, i didnt know you could take them to work with you at tesco????

Some Tescos have mobile desks inside them, maybe he was calling from one of these. As they are positioned within the store itself it wouldn't be unusual for their to be kids in the store.

Hi i paid for a stretch hummer to take my fiance to her hen night. They took the money in full but under Hair and Beauty World birmingham B11. Then a further £600 was taken by them four days later. When ringing the company to question this, the lady who i booked it with,|Freda as she called herself, replied " i dont know what your talking about" then put the phone down on me and wouldnt then pick up the phone after trying numerous times to get an answer. I phoned the police and bank to stop the card but i still wanted to know what was going on. The company has still a current web page to book from, but i have since found out they have stopped trading weeks before i booked the limo. The company HUMMERHUMMER in acton lane london. I rang another limo hire in london to see if they had heard of them and they replied that many people have requested limos from themselves as HUMMERHUMMER did not show and also took money from their accounts without consent. Please could you tell me if anyone has had the same problem. I gave muy card details over the phone to pay but they have fraudulant taken it plus more. im not happy.
