A restaurant that I have used regularly the last 6 months has put through an unauthorised transaction for £300 last weekend. I just checked my VISA statement on line and found the transaction. Ironically, I was in there earlier tonight, never again though. They use chip and pin when I pay for a meal in the place. So, how did they manage to put the transaction through, they wouldn't know my pin I'm sure?

Have you reported it to the Police? Maybe you're not the only one being pick pocketed.The cycle of life: born > learn > work > learn > dead. -
I'm going down there tomorrow when they open and if they don't cooperate fully, the Police station is a 200 yard walk. Watch this space tomorrow evening!Public Service Posting by the BBC - Bloggs Bulls**t Corp.

The wonders who developed chip and pin decided that they did not need to encrypt the value.
It can be got at, not saying that is what they done but it shows you how crap the system is.Comment

Hmmm, you have me wondering. When I phoned an hour ago and complained to the owner the first thing he said was "Can't be us, we have chip and pin." That's a tell tail response maybe?Originally posted by minestrone View PostPublic Service Posting by the BBC - Bloggs Bulls**t Corp.

Just phone the fraud dept. of the credit card company and let them deal with it. In fact, you should have done this as soon as you knew money had been taken from your card.
The police would probably tell you to do the same thing.'Orwell's 1984 was supposed to be a warning, not an instruction manual'. -

The police won't be interested. Happened to me a while back, contacted the card fraud dept. Had to cancel my card but got all the money back eventually.Originally posted by SantaClaus View PostComment

I did. The VISA co said that because I knew exactly who had debited the card and they were local to try to get them to refund the £300 first. Then to call them back if they refused. The owner said to go and see him at 5.00pm tomorrow so we'll see what happens then.Originally posted by SantaClaus View PostPublic Service Posting by the BBC - Bloggs Bulls**t Corp.
