    This is a year and a half old thread, probably best if you start your own for full visibility. Looks like there may well be some data protection issues in your case, but give the experts an opportunity to comment!

    And create the thread in the Parking board, not here.

    I've never heard of Gladrags charging someone's card without prior authorisation. I wonder if it's a card on a joint account, and the partner has paid a scamvoice without the poster being aware?

    Ring your bank and see what's what before ringing someone you don't know even if they seemingly have access to your bank and have an approved payment to them. Speak to the fraud department.

    Block number, don't click any links, delete it - it's a scam.

    You clearly agreed to not hijack threads and to post in an appropriate forum as part of your signup - Then ignored both totally!

    Gladstones are the province of the Parking Tickets Subforum. Start by reading the Newbies Sticky there - then start your own thread!

    To be fair a OPW won't know that. However they should have worked that out reading this thread - but we all know that this was merely a me too post and they never even read any of the previous posts. ;)

    To have got as far ad posting their one post, they would have had it all explained to them, clearly!
