The banking giant said it has seen some credit card customers call about using Section 75 for crypto buys, but the coverage is not applicable if someone has bought into a digital currency and it has simply fallen in value.

You still haven't provided any company name or details as to what has actually happened which makes it difficult for people to help. How were you defrauded, how did the transactions occur etc..

A number of credit card providers have put blocks on customers buying cryptocurrencies on plastic in recent weeks.

Lloyds – which also owns MBNA – became the latest to ban these transactions this week, explaining that it took the measure to 'protect' its clients.

OP - perhaps this thread will be more productive if you answer people's questions rather than simply regurgitating selective quotes from the Daily Mail in the mistaken belief that they support your position?
