Check Your Bank Statements Carefully
27 Answers
I am normally quite good at checking mine, but since I got back from holiday I havent. Just fired up the PC and noticed a load of emails from Hungry House to my email address but using various first names asking me how I liked my meal from xyz, abc and blah blah restaurants. I have used Hungry House on 2 occasions but certainly not recently. Suspicious, I check my bank account - guess what, some ******* ******* ******* ***t has been dining out on my expense just recently. About £250 gone out and another £200 just due to be debited. Thankfully HH have clocked it as fraudulent (hey I can hardly order from restaurants in both Rochdale AND London on the same night) and are refunding. Mad doesnt even come close.
No question, just exasperation and a word of advice........

I bought a tv in Southend, a hifi in Windsor and a pc in Birmingham all on the same afternoon. By the following day I had paid quite a number of utility bills around the country, not to mention someones tax bill to HMRC.
Five days later all the money was back in my a/c .. but they emptied my a/c of more than £6K and wiped out my overdraft. Quite strange how the bank carried on letting them take the money ?

My experience was the opposite. One Sunday I bought goods online from a firm in Colchester. On Monday circa 11 a.m., HSBC phoned to ask if I was in the Bahamas as someone was trying to buy a car in the Bahamas using my card details. Turns out a rogue employee of the firm had passed card details to a mate in the Bahamas.
It's just another pile of crap to deal with Elina. I had a horrid day yesterday with a close relative being taken quite ill. Had a rotten day today and just thought I would sit in the garden and chill for a bit - you know, recharge, unwind and relax ready to take the world on tomorrow. Silly me for turning on lappy. Silly silly BM.

I've had that happen twice - first one was innocent, someone actually paid her mortgage with it - address and everything, so easy to trace! - but doesn't look as though anyone checked her signature at all... Second one was proper fraud, someone spending big in NY, and Visa spotted it at once, cancelled my card and sent a new one.
But how either of these happened... beats me.
