Hiya
Just had a call from my bank (barclays) saying my card has been cloned and had been used to take in totaol £698 from my account.........card stopped but they said it had been tracked down to a petrol garage in wallasey????????? BEWARE
OMG thats awful for you i hope the bank gives you the money back!
This is the 2nd time its happened, same garage as well....I should have known better
Did they tell you wich garage, may be worth giving the area its in as a warning to others
Do you know which garage so we can all stay away. This is awful news for you and I hope you get your money back. I had it happen to me about 5 years ago, my card was cloned in Singapore and it took my bank (Santander) months to trace it back. Because I was in the Navy at the time they thought it was me spending the money whilst I was deployed. Took a total of £3500 off me.
thats the only garage Ive used recently????????? will be going the extra half a mile to Tesco's from now on
This is the one in Wallasey Village? I was going to go there over the weekend as it's the closest one to me and I'm running on fumes! I'll go to Tesco instead and risk the walk with my fuel can!
OMFG my mum used that garage on leasowe rd and a few days later 270 odd quid came out for flight tickets to bloody Budapest !!!! This is not acceptable behaviour as when we buy products we trust the company and representatives to be honest ! I wouldn't mind but they over charge in there anyway they exploit our trusting nature TAKE. ACTION MUST NOT GO UN PUNISHED ! ! ! ! ! ! !
No one has mentioned the police in this sketch yet. Has it been reported to them? Maybe they don't bother?
There is something to be said for a visit from a local vigilante group - to advise the Filling Station owner of the error of his ways. (Dives behind sofa to avoid incoming flak !!)
BP in Greasby was up to the same trick a year or so ago. Gonna check my account as I used that Murco one a while back. Common denominator between the 2 garages? Something to do with ethnicity!
As for sending the boys around -- i think best left to the ones in blue. There must be someway of prosecuting the garage owners if it is there fault
It just pisses me off so bad the way we can all sit back in a bubble and watch our country raped and pillaged !!! Our tax is high to pay for immigrants and bums that won't work but can't work because all the poles have now taken them all ha I served for this country and my grandfather and brother for what exactly to work In a factory full of polish on £12 hour or more standing around while I sweat my arse off for £6.19 for an agency really have landed on my arse Lmao .
Before anyone goes round and puts the owners lights out, the bank only siad it was a wallasey petrol station, I am assuming leasowe road as it has been the only one Ive been to in the last week or so, I think they would deny it if approached. Once the bank has its its evidence they inform the rozzers and action will be taken......again
My girlfriend's mum had her card cloned at the Murco in Wallasey Village. Lost a good chunk of cash, but thankfully managed to get it back...
i never use my card anywhere,cash is king and safe just use the cash machine outside the bank and cover your hand,and try and go to an English petrol station because where obviously having problems with the foreign ones
pretty sure this thread has just turned into a racist rant...
I'm sure it hasn't demo ! And before u speak think ! We are very intitled to our own opinion without outside influence thank you and as far as rascist comments where are they? We are the victims and minority now .
Oh god! I used leasowe road cash machine tonight
Hope you get your money back
I'm sure it hasn't demo ! And before u speak think ! We are very intitled to our own opinion without outside influence thank you and as far as rascist comments where are they? We are the victims and minority now .
mate, who are this "we" you speak of, and why are "we" a minority?
Just monitor ur accounts for a bit Pam and hope they haven't done that 1 either .
Ill come up the coop now and tell u all about it if u like jack ha .
Don't worry jack I'm a friend that's if its the same camp as Christmas jack I'm thinking of ha .
so if the police had stopped 10 red ford focuses along the dock road in as many weeks with a kilo of coke in each,then they would be looking for red ford focuses is that rascist to a ford focus NO!!!!!!
oh will someone say the fantastic line of "i'm not racist, but..."
Lmao we are all racist in our own way ......
Lmao we are all racist in our own way ......
...
no
Torches and pitchforks at the ready
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
