Same here, I know when I've had enough.
As presented it just doesn't ring true to me. Unless you're a writer it's surprisingly tricky to pass off a fabricated account as true, especially a tale that's out of the ordinary. That's one of the reasons it's very difficult to write convincing fiction. I'm sure these types of scam happen, but not this time.
Half being £750. 2-4 weeks work for many, earnt in one night.
If you think that's a poor amount to earn then your either a banker or politician.
I only came here because I saw the topic title and instantly knew what was going on.
You have not a leg to stand on, you were there, you were spending money, you may have been drunk but you were still able to PIN your number.
This is not an appropriate first post.
I was thinking that as well. Its either someone who is bored or the same bloke has been fooled more than once.
Just answering (attempting to anyway, as there are many assumptions to make) the question posted earlier in the thread.
I made no comment whether the amount is poor or not.
Investigate what?
OP entered PIN for the transaction. Was not under any duress to do so. Therefor nothing to do with the CC co.
Only option is police....
Must admit we have not had this type of story at work for a while...
You've been ripped off. They'll lie about what you actually got for your money.
You have next to no chance of getting your money back, although you're welcome to try.
Never give over your card in a strip joint. Pay for your dances and drinks in cash
I'm not personally concerned about the moral issues, I don't know the OP and I don't know his circumstances, or whether this really happened. But if fraud took place where money was taken without permission, then the OP has the right to progress it if they so wish IMO.
The first thing that the bank will do is check if the payment was authorised by the entering of the PIN for the card used and if it was and that card hasn't been reported as lost or stolen then in all probability it was the card holder that authorised the payment.
