Strip club scam - Fraudulent activity?

You could have said yes and left it at that, this is a family forum. In the same way you could have avoided being offended by an age being in a post.

You knew what you were doing, and it wasn't big or clever (oh the irony given you spent all morning moaning that the older generation were 'capable')

Well my boyfriend is the tightest man going, So the point of this thread was to say that I trust he wouldnt be stupid enough to spend that sort of money in a strip club knowing he has a mortgage and other bills to pay.
The point of the thread was to ask how people can get money from your debit card. Card clone? Someine checking his pin at an ATM? card clone then using his driving license as ID to use the card?

Bantex's trolling posts seem to have increased while the kids are off school for the Easter holidays!

Thats a slightly different spin but...

Someone in cahoots with the club (or a member of staff in the club, doesnt have to be the clubs owners that are in on it) gets the data off the front of the card and runs it through as cardholder not present transactions on the card machine thus negating the need for a card.

The chances of someone skimming the card, going away to make a clone, come back to the same club all within a night seems a little far fetched.

Could be a member of staff themselves with or without knowledge of the club owners but the transactions look more like actually paying for things than just fleasing the card for as much as possible. Guess a cashier could take cash payment, pocket it and run it through your card instead to make the monies balance at the end of the night but would have thought there would be complaints before and these places tend to be full of CCTV monitoring staff as much as customers.

It sounds like you dont like it but I think the highest probability is that he did spend it and doesnt want to admit blowing the mortgage money etc.

The fact he says Natwest cannot say what the transaction types are also makes me feel you arent getting the whole story

Op, if the bank advises to cut the card up...don't......well certainly not the sim type part of it. This is the only part that experts need to confirm if it was that actual card used and not a clone.

I'll tell you something, Op, even though it's off-topic.

I hope he appreciates the tolerant and reasonable way you're behaving over all this...some girlfriends/wives would have flipped big time. I'm sure I would have gone mad had my husband/bf come home having 'spent' this much on a night out!

Hope it gets sorted for you!

Thanks for your reply its just the info I was after. I agree in a way and think the only way it could of been fraud is if it was put through as cardholder not present transactions

I had toyed with the idea maybe he had opened a tab and him and his "mates" have rinsed it this way. Though he swears he didnt open a tab and it would be a little out of character.
We will see I guess..
