    Ok guys I really am sorry to be the bearer of possible bad news but I found out this morning that my credit card that I keep for internet use only has been fraudulantly used since Sunday, the last time I used it online was 21 September and they are trying variuos transactions all over the world since sunday, I have no idea if this is related to the problems we had with this but just thought I would bring this to everyones attention, I had logged into another credit card account I have but not used it to buy anything on Sunday and that seems fine and I used a card from one of my current accounts to buy something on Sunday too and that seems fine as well, really do hope everyone is ok:)

    I went to make a payment by phone and they put me straight through to collections, the fraudsters had taken £62 from my account which had taken me over my credit limit, which is unheard of on my account, after the £62 they had tried a string of transactions all across the world which were all delcined, the card has now been cancelled.

    Thank you again - will have to keep a sharp eye open from now on. I am surprised your c/c company didn't contact you when they saw all the unusual activity :mad:

    Hope it all gets sorted out for you :)
