    I have just been stung for 2000 over a 2 week period, only found out a couple of days ago. Didnt realise until the card was declined and then went online to find all my money had gone. Transations were done online so somewhere they have cloned my card and used 1k on william hill and 1k on Pon Cyber De Sales (anyone know who they represent).

    I reported it to the bank, still waiting on the fraud forms to arrive and my new card. Have had to get the overdraft extended as they had eaten into that as well. Not nice, when you know you still have other direct debits to come out.

    I noticed alot of people seem to reporting petrol stations so im going to find out when these transaction were taken (ie time) as I had taken petrol late on 31 May at tescos garage (dundee) and thats when the first transaction came off online. Might be unrelated just cant remember what online sales i have made since then.

    Not nice and looks like it will take a couple of weeks to investigate. So i know how the girl feels

    Pon Cyber De Sales could be a made-up name, i.e. the money was spent "on cyber sales". The clown who took my money just after I got paid one Christmas showed up on my statement as "Merry Christmas from Nicholas Claws Inc". :rolleyes:

    Hi everyone.

    This board brings people together at their toughest moment. The love support and kindness found here is unique amongst the whole world wide web and it frequently staggers me how far people will go for another that we have only just met.
    Martin should be proud that he has created this site and this unique community.

    Thankyou one and all.
