maxi-glasgow Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 Just before Christmas I went to log on to my Internet Banking just to check my balance before buying some more presents and it wouldn't let me. Phoned up and was eventually told it has been locked due to receiving a phone call from someone trying to get access to my account. Had to re-register for telephone and internet banking. Lady from their fraud department phoned me and said this happens quite a lot, asked if I had recently signed up a direct debit as that's a usual way for someone to snatch account details. I hadn't, but then a couple of days later I got a letter thru from Virgin Mobile which was a welcome letter to taking out a mobile phone. It was my name but the flat number was wrong. I phoned them up and they said it had already been blocked as they were aware of gangs taking out mobile phones falsely. You can take out a service which only costs around £12 a year and they tell you anytime a direct debit etc has been set up. This is a good way to keep track of activity on your account. Still wouldn't stop someone cloning a card and taking money out a cash machine though Quote
stanski Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 I would speak to Nixy she has a lot of unaccounted for money in her account! Quote
narcotix Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 The thieving bar-stewards ... I know a few people who've had similar issues recently ... The banks / building societys are usually very helpful in these situations nowadays ... Quote
