Attempted Fraud with my Barclaycard

wulfhere

Hi,

Since Friday evening, a fraudster has tried to buy several items on my credit card from Dell Computers and Sports Direct. Fortunately, the Barclaycard fraud department managed to stop all the attempted transactions ; I'm guessing the fraudster tried to have the items shipped to an address different to my home address, which should have been a bit of a smoking gun.

I buy stuff from many companies with my credit card online and so who is responsible for the fraud is a bit of a tricky one but I have my suspicions.

Anyways, just wondered if anyone else had had any problems with this...?

You don't need to worry about where your card was compromised, it could have been anywhere you've ever used your card, online, supermarket, petrol station etc. Barclaycard won't be worrying about it either as there has been no loss.

If I was stealing from someone else's CC, Sports Direct is not where I'd be shopping..

It could have been anywhere.
Even Barclays computer system and not connected to your use.
Lots of people will have had similar problems.

Perhaps sports direct for a small, less suspicious purchase to "test" the card and Dell after?
