    Yes she has asked her to make a statement to the police.
    I wouldn't push it any further. She may already be screwed.

    If someone is doing something illegal doesn't it stand to reason that if it goes sour going to the police is not an option?

    On that one point this whole thread is ridiculous.

    Let your daughter take the hit/loss and it hopefully will teach her a good lesson in life. If you go down the "fraud" route she could easily find herself in court answering a fraud/theft charge.

    I agree with what's been said.
    Do what you can to get it paid off asap and close the case with the police.

    I'm not entirely joking here because it's a great film but she could learn a lot from this - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093223/

    something which puzzled me with this story and forgive me if I missed something - but surely you only need a pin number if you actually have the card? why would an internet fraudster need it otherwise?

    Apologies - just read the first post again!
  • I said I would report back with the outcome but sadly we still don't have one. Wonga took all of the details, got the crime number and are now failing to return our calls and emails. Pretty lax CS but no news is good news (or not, when the DC comes calling).
  • Oh well. At least she's not in prison.
  • Is your daughter aware that she did something wrong? I mean does she accept her part in this....

    Looking at the date of the first thread. I am sure by now the debt would have been paid off.
