i recently switched over from TSB to first direct ( switch date was on 14/02/22) i used my card 3 times since Friday.
yesterday there was a transaction from nandos website on ny account for £23.18 , they also tried another for over £70 but due to insufficient funds it was declined.
i called first direct and they said they have recently had calls regarding other people in the same position. rhey told me it will get refunded .
its scary that its a brand new card and i have not set it up with anything apart from paypal.
has anybody had the same problem?

Why have you titled this post 'First Direct Scam'? What does the 'scam' have to do with First Direct?1
-
you need to change the thread title1
-
Where did you use your card before the fraudulent transactions ?May be relevant ?0

So 3 chances for a fraudster to get you card details. But since when have credit cards been part of switch process?Life in the slow lane0

i used it at ubereats,mcdonalds and used it at my local vape shop in which i go to every week.0

This has nothing to do with Credit Cards as far as I can see... but yes, I have had debit cards which have never been used before used anywhere used fraudulently.
Not First Direct.
Hope this helps.0 -

Interestingly I've just been contacted by First Direct with the same thing. Is this a First Direct / Nandos issue i wonder. Has anyone else had an issue like like from a different bank?
