card cloning

[DaveTheRave]

I don't want to further hijack the cougar thread, so I thought I'd start a thread on the subject..

Last week my debit card was cloned for 30 pound for an O2 pre pay top up.

This has never happened to me before, and I started using the schumacher site to buy bits around 8 weeks ago.

So have othjers had this problem then?

Seems to be quite popular - but none of these people have bought from Schumacher.

My card was cloned last week too.. I haven't bought anything from Schumacher in months though.. I was blaming the petrol station on the way to work... They tried to top up a phone card with mine too. I really wouldn't expect it to be anything to do with Schumacher. The people in this the people in this industry seem to be the most honest I have ever come across

Its nearly always the petrol stations I went through 3 bloomin cards!

Well I have my new card now and will be very cautious.

My bank have a list of 3 companies from January and one from the one just gone as they say it was a card not present transaction

I think it's time for PayPal to lower their fees and people using it more. I shop more at MK for this reason now.

DMS it's over the phone and Schumacher it'll be over the phone now too (not saying anything wrong with them).

Maybe their is a new virus / key logger doing the rounds?

I'll have a look on some the usual security websites.

If more people stopped using gift, they'd be able to lower their fee's

I had a gas station in California steal my American Express number and try to charge $5000. That was interesting.
