  • Egg has notified me that somebody has been repeatedly trying to make purchases using my card details. They have not been able to make any purchases since they do not have my mastarcard secured password.

    Egg has cancelled my account and opened a new account with a new number.
  • I have just received my Vanquis Credit Card Statement and found that there are 2 transactions with the description PayPal 'CharlesKeas 35314369001 LU one for 188.98 & the other for 189.26 within a week of each other.

    I've contacted Vanquis and they have blocked my card and going to send me a new one - so now I'm inconvenience because of someone taking money fraudulently.

    So it would appear its not only EGG Cards..... just make sure that you all check your statements carefully.
  • Second that.... Just been checking my account online and have been debited for £600+ to a paypal account that I have never heard of....:mad:

    Although top marks to HSBC customer services who have credited the amount back as soon as i reported it. :T

    Have any of you got kids in the house? Wonder if they could be something linked to these games you see on Facebook, like Petville etc? The game itself is free, but the add-on's aren't. Caught many people out. Likewise, if you have ipod touch/iphones that the kids play with, they can easlity download chargable games.

  • Just had my bank statement to find a transaction of £483.16 debited and refunded 10 minutes later from my account on Nov 30 by "paypal ebuyer uk 35314369001 GB". Rang paypal who said they could tell me the transaction was carried out by a man giving a London address but are not allowed to give any further information. They advised me to cancel my bank card and change the paypal password. I rang the bank who confirmed no further transactions had been attempted and they are now issuing me with a new card, The bank were very helpful, she thought they had hacked my paypal account and luckily the payment was refused. this has made me very wary of sharing bank details on internet sites, even supposedly safe sites with the padlock.
  • I hadnt checked my banking online in 2 weeks & wen i did i noticed that there had been €1200 taken over 4 transactions through paypal using the number 35314369001" BRENSENLAWL" . Contacted PAYPAL and my bank , so hopefully PAYPAL will reimburse . Had to cancel cards .

    35314369001 is the contact No for paypal in Ireland.

    If you ever get these type of transactions. Check you paypal account.
    If they are showing in there, then you paypal account has been compromised and PP will deal with it.
    They are very good at this.
    If they are not then contact your card provider and they will deal.

    If it's you paypal account that has been compromised, then there is no need to stop the card. They do not have your card details.

    If the transactions are showing in your bank account contact them and get them refunded by the bank. PSD covers this. They will then monitor for the refunds and then debit you the refunds they have given to cover the loss.
    Never ASSUME anything its makes a

    I just checked my account here in America and found one charge from Paypal with this number 35314369001 on 05/22/2013 for $1. Subsequent to that charge over $290 US Dollars were charged one from the UK for automotive charges, then 4 from Skype for various services. Anyone else having this problem? I read on your forum that the guy lives in London somewhere. If anyone can determine the actual guys name and address, I'll personal report him to the proper authorities. Skype is investigating and I'll be contacting my bank in the morning. This really bites to deal with this at this time.
