Kid Dynamite 7034 Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Some cunt withdrew £1100 out of my account yesterday in South Korea Il get the money back in 3 days from my bank but at the minute ive been charged by the bank for going over my overdraft limit and all my direct debits bounced on the first of the month so i have to ring round my car insurance, phone company, internet provider etc. trying to convince them not to charge me fees for it. Also i dont get my new account for another 5 days so il have to call them all back up again and change my debit details. What a fucking faff on!

Gemmill 44935 Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Strange cos I got a call out of the blue yesterday from HSBC's fraud protection division. They said that some credit card numbers had been "compromised" and mine was in the range that was at risk. They checked the last transactions on my card and then cancelled it when they were happy nowt had been spent on it yet. Is yours HSBC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkinthedog 0 Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 someone maxed my overdraft using what I guess was a copy of my debit card. they spent about £2800 in 3 days, including a tenner in Mcdonalds the cheeky twats. I was in Malaysia at the time, it was a nightmare to sort out but I got all the money back. During the process several customer service people told me it was very, very common these days. Still felt a bit like rape, invasion of privacy and all that. Cut their hands off and poke their eyes out, I say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asteroidblitz 12 Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Happened to me two weeks ago. The details of my HSBC Maestro were compromised, and the feckers attempted to go on a spending spree after making small 'test' transactions on National Express tickets in the Milton Keynes area. They then tried to buy and LCD TV from Argos and a sofa from DFS, totalling £1500. The bank thinks the details were taken by a dodgy member of staff at a certain computer components retailer based in Dorking which specialises in RAM. All very annoying and rather scary.

sweetleftpeg 0 Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Aye, I'll be there. I'll be supporting the Bay but to be honest if Blyth win I'll support them till they get knocked out. The further a NE team goes in the competition the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 7034 Posted October 3, 2006 Author Share Posted October 3, 2006 Well I dont want to go into too much detail for obvious reasons but all young persons on my ward have been sent there by a court of law after being found guilty of crimes. Its a secure unit and similar to a YOI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
