Today I checked my bank account online and found my account has been stung for £1000 by debit card fraud. I have my card with me and always have it, so no one has stolen it. I burn bank statements etc so no one has got any of those. My card was used to purchase goods online including £750 worth of diamond jewellery and £100 of shopping online at a Tesco store in London, as well as mobile phone top ups. These fraudulent purchases all took place on the same day two weeks ago, and have taken two weeks to show up on my account. They have bled my account dry including my overdraft.
The police think it's probably someone in a position of trust ie accounts, in one of the companys I use my card with, or even possibly someone at the bank/card issuing company.
I only ever use my card in reputable companies like Morrisons, as well as to pay my internet bill. I never use it for online purchases.
Please be vigilant people, and check your bank account regularly, shred statements, either don't get reciepts from cash points, or if you do shred them when you're done. Please be careful what you use your card for. It's a horrible feeling having this done, as well as leaving me in the s**t financially until the money is reimbursed.

I hope you get your money back ASAP. My Dad was "done" a few years ago when some one took advantage of our trust. He took on my Dads ID and evrything. he was getting letters from Women thanking him for the good nights!! He claimed to be a Heir to some posh family and He knew all about them so; it didnt look , at first that he was bent. It turned out he had worked for them. What he did was leave one morning, we all went Work. e returned after the house was empty, (even had a shower!!!) . When we got back, everything was gone.
