    From the 1 April 2007, new procedures came into effect in England, Wales and Northern Ireland which mean that banks and financial institutions become the first point of contact for cheque, plastic card and online fraud offences. In most cases consumers will be required to report instances of this type of fraud straight to their bank or building society and not to the police. It will be up to the financial institution involved, and not the account holder, to pass details of the relevant crime on to the police.


    And as they don't deal with any banks or credit card companies, it's very hard to report them to anyone.

    3, say you have a copyright from 2004-2007 and only have the site registered since 2/9/07
    4. horrible, childish spelling on sara shopping description
    5. use a mobile number for contact details and not a fixed line
    6. never accept credit cards or debit cards but western union or moneygram
    7. learn the art of nigerian scamming
    8. last but not least, being so stupid that moneysavingexpert.com catch on to you and report your to the relevant authorities

    thanks guys for the information
    Save saynoto0870.com in your favorites, and stop giving companies more £££ dialling 0870 numbers when you can dial freephones or cheaper alternatives
    call your credit card company, tell them that you want to leave, 99% of the time theyll lower your APR%
    Remember when that Bank Manager or Salesperson smiles at you, all he sees is £ notes. Dont forget the motto, "the wider their grin, the more debt your in"
