My card's been scammed

[Accy cyclist]

glad you got it sorted out

No cash now though till next week when i get my new card.

If i ask someone for a loan till next week they'll probably think it's a scam.

Most banks will allow you to draw funds 'over the counter', ask when you go into the branch to sort out the card.

I can't remember but I think the bank can give you some when you go in, but only direct over the counter not through a cash point.

So was the text genuine?

Get some cash out of your account with a cheque when you go in tomorrow?

Double TMN to me

£50 limit on contacless cards by default, no PIN needed, in most places.

Thanks. I'll ask them tomorrow.

Take a pair of old pants with you, stick them on your head and rob the bank when you're in. Or something like that.

I put it to the person who took my call that they wouldn't have known my PIN number,therefore they wouldn't have been able to be successful with the £490 theft attempt. Why would they try if they didn't have my number? Do you think the'll be on security camera,attempting the theft?

There'll be a "marker" on his account, meaning extra questions asked when he does go into a branch. Extra ID brought in for this should help.

Think you should take photo id with you. I was able to get cash at the branch after losing my wallet.

Glad it's all worked out well.

My bank texts me too when they see unusual activity on my account especially on line purchases.

Once however I was buying an expensive watch for my wife's birthday whilst on a business trip to Jersey, making use of the Vat savings, and the bank phoned my home number to check whether it's was a genuine transaction.

Rather spoiled the surprise but at least I wasn't buying it for my girlfriend!!




That girlfriend bit was a joke before anyone take that bit seriously.

Don't need a PIN online if they had your card... just the card and code on the strip
