LycaMobile Users: Had card fraud/attempted card fraud recently?

Out of interest if I contacted my bank in reference to this would they carry out any further investigation? They alerted me to the payment attempt and quickly cancelled the card after a brief online chat.

Has well has the PONTOON SPECIALIST payment attempt yesterday I've also had 5 spam phone calls just this morning. 100% Lyca is the problem

A further statement from Lyca

We have conducted a thorough review, and there is no evidence that confirms there has been any unauthorised access to our systems.

This statement seems highly dubious in the face of the commentary here and elsewhere (and my own experience).

I have always had very low expectations of Lyca - but somehow they still manage to disappoint.

extremely careful in using my CC, changed provider to lyca in April, and now multiple transactions of £0.00 placed on my card.
These were coursera.help

Pontoon

then my card was taken for 2 ocado payments totalling £90, luckily i check my transactions each day and immeadiately cancelled my cards.

9 years and this is the first fraud on my account in that time

Was it Lyca , who knows, very suspicious tho

PHK

After speaking to the bank, its very important that everyone contacts their bank mentioning Lyca. Also, consider complaining to the ICO if you used a virtual card only with Lyca and also Actionfraud.

Same for me. Today my bank has told me about an authorisation attempt by Pontoon Specialists on my credit card. I was briefly a Lyca customer earlier this year. I've never had any fraud on this card until now and the same card number for 11 years. There does seem to be a strong link with Lyca.

How did you have the same card number for 11 years?

today moved to a new cc which is brand new and now being used for lyca mobile only and nothing else.

I was also a Lyca customer last year, and also have had a fraud attempt on my card to 'Strong Marriage Now'.
I've cancelled my card now, but it certainly seems Lyca are to blame.

Hi all,
Just had 4 transactions made on my bank card (total approx £100). I called the bank who cancelled the card, transactions etc and said they've received a report from Lycamobile saying card details have been stolen.

Has anyone else had this? If you're on Lyca, it's maybe time to change your payment card.
