They have stolen 500 golden coins from my Co-op treasure chest.

And I want it back :mad:

I don't know. I rung the bank and I explained how very stressed I was so they said, never mind, we'll send you a form and you can have your gold back. All the money was spent online. Train tickets. The bastards!

I once had credit card fraud done to me...someone paid for legal advice...and Barclays refused to chase it up!! Why I closed my account with them.

No idea yet. I've purchased a ticket on the website before, but I am sure that was before I was even with the bank I am with now. I assume you need expiry dates, issue numbers etc so God knows how they got all the information. Hopefully, the Co-op can shed some light on the situation when I send them the paperwork back. They reckon they can't ever tell me who did it but surely there is a Freedom of Information issue with that. I'll have to get some research done.

The police can track it down to what computer it was done on, and who the tickets were sent to. Happened to me before too.

i am guessing it won't be, from when you purchased the ticket online (mostly due to the fact most sites have sick encription systems that would take weeks to crack) its most likely that they have gone through your bins, and read a bank statement.

good luck anyway

Or it was when you used your card in a 'broken' cash machine or paid at a store/restaurant with it where someone had the chance to copy the details.

Herd & Kam...I agree it was probably one of those methods. As long as I get my doubloons back, that's all I am worried about. I need uni dosh.

Could happen anywhere unfortunately. People have been known to ghost cards, quickly write down details if you let them take a card away [restaurants for instance] some hotels take down full details including security codes, etc.
