OVER a thousand bank and credit cards were cloned locally (possibly The BP Garage, the Ridge, Hastings) and used in the worldwide scam reported by the Observer last week.

Tips:

If you've used this garage - check your statements asap.

Consider opting for Chip & Signature Credit Cards vice PINs to prevent crooks getting their hands on your dosh.

Even if you've used this garage and have the slightest doubt your Pin may have been compromised then tell your card issuer (Banking Code, Article 12.7).
