    I came to this forum after searching for WP-SCOACH ETICKET.

    I called by LloydsTSB yesterday after my debit card had been refused at a cash machine and they said they had put a block on it because of suspicious activity. A payment to Thames Water for £300 had been requested (I live in the north of England) and had been blocked by LloydsTSB.

    When checking my account today a £1.50 payment was made to WP-SCOACH ETICKET.

    So firstly thanks to LloydsTSB for recognising this and swiftly cancelling my card and secondly I would really like to know how they got my details. My main suspicions are currently Paypal, whom I have an account with and the fact my PC was infected with a trojan virus last week with has been subsquently cleaned.

    A year ago someone has hacked my paypal account and spent $400 on e-bay and $70 on skype. Paypal is the least safe site on earth. Seriously.

  • I to have been scammed the same.

    My credit card bill is showing WP-Scoach Eticket Stockport for £36.20, also taken money from spartoo.com £145.39, M&CO £175.95 and Electrical Discount UK £169.99.
    Totally over £500 taken from me, I've stopped the card.

    Cant believe it will be so hard to find the person, just go to the address the items have been sent to.

    But I guess they will have more rights to spend my money/ banks money then I will to get the address where the items i paid for have been sent to.

    If I do find the address i will let you all know on here where it is. You will be welcome to join me in talking to these people that have done this to me just before xmas.

    The only sites I have used prior to this are Dixons, a voucher codes site and paypal. If any of this ring a bell with you then let me know.

    WHY WHY do complanies allow goods to be sent to different addresses to the card holders address.
    If they stopped this, credit card fraud would take a dramatic dive.
    Just crazy!!!
  • I was sent an e-mail from my bank 2 days ago confirming that my Verified By Visa password had been succesfully changed. I rang the bank because I hadn't changed it - I never use this card online so wouldn't need a Verified by Visa password. They told me that it had been changed at 3.50 p.m. that day and then two online purchases had been made using my card - one for 40p to a computer supplier and another for £10.50 to WP-SCOACH ETIC about 10 minutes later. It worries me that they were able to change the VBV password and I've no idea where they got my card details from. I'm just glad I saw the e-mail when I did. The bank have been brilliant and have stopped my card straight away and refunded the money.

    I am sorry, but my English is not so good. I am from Slovenia. I would like to share this info with you. Today I saw that my credit card is showing (it is similar to yours case Valient2u) 2 x wp scoach eticket billing for 4,85 GBP and 1 x M&CO billing for 267,50 GBP. I also stopped the card. I do not use often credit cards for e-shopping, but just one day before I tried to buy the airline tickets via Fly Emirates, Ebookers and Expedia. My transactions failed. Next day first scoach eticket was billing me, after 3 days scoach eticket was billing me again. So, I am pretty sure that someone has hacked my credit card data wile I was trying to book/buy airline tickets. This is really frustating! Any suggestion what to do? Does anybody knows who is doing this? Help!

    Cheers

    As it is a credit card I think you are protected. You should go into your bank and say there is fraud on your credit card.

    Will that protection apply to cards and accounts held overseas?

    I always thought the protection was with the card not with the bank (i.e. Mastercard etc), I could be wrong!
