faudulent activity.....please help

hi all its my first time posting on this board although i have posted on forums on MSE in the past. My bank statement came today and i have noticed there are a lot of small transactions on there going to Aquapay. I have never heard of Aquapay so googled it and noticed it is linked to alot of gambling sites. The transactions are for as little as £5 but mainly are £10 and are sometimes taken out twice in a day. Over the past 3 months i have had nearly £300 taken from my account! Im with HSBC. What do i do? Do i call the bank or call the police? Im mortified really and truly and i feel sick. Will i get this money back? I cant believe ive been so stupid as to not notice!

Any advice appreciated
Monica

    HSBC - like all banks - have a 24 hour emergency line for lost/stolen cards so i would phone that first and i am sure they will point you in the right direction but do it straight away - don't wait any longer - good luck
