I know its not for everyone but one of the safest ways of not being robbed of your own money is to get and use a credit card.

Put your regular debit card purchases on the credit card and just pay off the balance every month. You don't pay interest, you get some kind of rewards (Tesco points, cashback, air miles) and most importantly if there's any problems like this then its the card issuer's money that has been stolen and you've not had your account emptied.

I know you'll get it back from your bank eventually, but how long will it take?

But, it does require a bit of willpower not to spend money you don't have, and not all places take credit cards - Aldi for one.

How did they get get the details/clone the card?
Was it out of your sight at any time?

Ever thought it might be a dodgy employee of the garage? The owners might know nothing of the goings on, but some on here (the ones who blame all of their own shortcomings on forigners/poles/illegals/etc ) are ready to become judge jurers and executioners
And as an after thought, if it was a dodgy employee, he might even be white anglo saxon (shock horror)

I have been into this garage 3 times this week and used a debit card each time no problem, I will continue to use this garage.
There are any number of cloning devices out there and you would not have a clue your card has been read.

For people who have cards with the new read system a person can walk up behind you and extract all your details and you would be none the wiser.

You can I believe by a wallet that shrouds your cards from such readers.

yay good news, got a new card and all dosh returned from barclays
