    There are many other fraud attempts reported on these forums using this co's name. As the others are cc transactions, I'd suggest it's safe to assume this is a card transaction as well.

    What do you want a bank to do. Contact a customer everytime they make a transaction?


    My bank have TWICE phoned me about transactions, to double check I had, in fact, authorised them.

    One, interestingly was in a Co-operative Department store! And my bank? The Co-op!

    I do think banks sometimes check 'unusual' transactions. Either the amount OR the location of the transcaction might trigger this.
