Ain't Nobody Here Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I'm pretty sure I wouldn't fall for this but there are probably plenty of people who might be scared into thinking it was genuine. Worth mentioning to anyone you think might be susceptible. * click * Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia W Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Thanks ANH. I had a fraud call from my credit card company earlier this week. Not like this one, but alerting me to the fact that someone tried to spend £1600 on jewellery using my card! They spotted it straight away and declined the payment so I'm now waiting for a new card. I would love to know how they got my card number though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoid Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Never give your PIN to anyone, not even your bank, only you should know it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 It scares me the amount of people who come to my till & have their PIN written down on their shopping list or in their purse LOADS don't even bother to sign their cards anymore either,which means it is not valid & should it be the 1 in 80 that is a spot check signature check,can't be accepted. People are daft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 It always amazes me the number of folks who stand well back from the card reader and them key in their PIN for all and sundry to see; I always cover my hand and am very careful. My card was cloned last year, must have been online as I don't use it for anything else, they called to ask me if I'd spent £4,000 in a restaurant in Kilburn (or was it Bethnal Green? ) I told them you could buy a restaurant in that area for £4k!

bluekarin Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 It always amazes me the number of folks who stand well back from the card reader and them key in their PIN for all and sundry to see; I always cover my hand and am very careful. This astounds me too. I always have my purse in my hand and use it to cover over the numbers. Trouble is, some machines have a very deep shield around them, and then you can't see the numbers I still can't believe though that people will still give their pin out over the phone. That is a very cheeky scam though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
