Card fraud

[Numptycorner]

It happened to me in a restaurant in London before chip and pin, when they took your card behind the counter.

A mate had a credit card stolen from his house, the police had some finger prints that matched a known burglar who lived in watford, but he made some crap excuse for them being found 20 miles from his home. A few weeks later a sky subscription was taken out in watford using my mates card. How much help do the police need?

He didn't like it when I bear hugged him in the co-op.

Have you tried contacting the retailers? They will have info of where the goods were delivered, there is usually some information, even if it's just a contact telephone number. I caught someone that used my card by doing this, all I had was the phone number, but I got him.

The cops think it was a bank employee and are 'following that line of enquiry'. The transactions were mostly online subscriptions, dating sites etc.

Honestly do you need to go to those lengths if you're feeling a little lonely? Most likely you got carried away after a few glasses of the bubbly during the weekend...

Any one of these three could be classed as the 'victim', you could of course include everyother credit card user since their fees and interest will be increased to cover this loss.

Credit Card fraud should be treated like burglary....

Burglars should be punished not only for their burglaries but for all the security protection and insurance that their activities make necessary. Car thieves should be penalised by making a contribution to car alarm costs: if they didn't steal cars, I wouldn't have to have an alarm. And as you say, all credit card users are victims, though I'd question whether of the fraudsters or of the banks.

If I was that pissed I'd have gone straight to the source and cut out the middle man or dating site.
