So did a bit of xmas shopping yesterday , usual food shopping/bills/petrol today , took my son out to spend his b'day money this afternoon , while out got an automated call on my mobile , " this is Santander, you have a security issue on your account , please push any button to continue " , well fuck that , so ended the call , misses rings 2 mins later had the same call on the hse phone

, get another 4 calls like this 2 mob, 2 hse , end all calls , ring Santander once home (about an hour ago now) tell them about the calls " yes sir , your account is flagged , i'm putting you through to our fraud department "
They told me that at 09:30 i'd paid Morrisons £133 then at 10:30 walked into a shop in Chicago with the same card & tried to spend £124 , which thankfully they thought was a bit odd so they declined it , my card is now cut up in the bin , i'm pissed off it happened of course but happy I lost nothing , so far anyway .
Also , FUCK YOU WITH BIG SWEATY BOLLOCKS ON to whoever cloned my card & FUCK YOU AGAIN , FUCK YOU

Any idea how or where it happened , and have you had a service check your SIN number etc. to see if your entire identity was stolen ?
My father had about 20k worth of tickets bought on his card in Spain while he was in Canada, turned out they had alot more than his CC #.
Good luck.

they dont need your info or PIN just system they use when cloning a crd is CRAZY shit I know on Bank card on 1 card they can put up to 100 diffrent account ,so they dont have to retrack the card from the machine till machine is emply of money!
same goes wit CD if he used it in the UK and person got the info off the card event if they dont know the pin they later gt that wit a system that give them the PIN #

it why on MY CC i got a MAX on what i can spend at ONE store of 100$ and if more b4 transation can go true they call me on my cell or phone

also they know i use my card for only few thing and dont use it for buying stuff on the net

Cheers gents , forgot to put that , last night , I went to my local shop , same 1 i've used in the 7 years we have lived here , same manager who served me last night , put my card into the reader & it ok'd it without my pin

asked him what the hell ? he just said he didn't know , that it has gone through & gave me my receipt . I told the fraud lady who I spoke to , she said they will be investigating further & I may hear from them again if they find anything out, & said that I shouldn't metntion it to the shop . Really hope it has nothing to do with that shop or anyone in there , it's right next to the school so loads of people use it 24/7 fk's how many could have been ripped off
The bank did say that it seemed to be an isolated icident but that I should keep an eye on my account , hopefully now that the card is jigsaw style that will be the end of it .

someone hacked my aol account a few weeks ago, didn't get any credit card info(i dont carry a credit card) but they tried to get a quote on a Mercedes(and possibly buy) in my name. luckily they called me about it.
glad you didn't lose any money ftcarer. not much lower than a thief.
