This whole scamming lark and fraud in general is massive now, and I don't doubt the internet in spite of being a wonderful thing is helping these fraudsters no end.....you just have to be so cautious these days.
My wife had her bank card details stolen a couple of weeks ago somewhere...either from the net or maybe even an assistant in a retail store noted the details down and they've had a spend up using the card over the phone and ordering stuff on the internet...they even went so far as to take out two Sky subscriptions!
Thankfully it's all being dealt with by the bank and the cards have been cancelled and some transactions were intercepted and most of the money has been reimburssed by the bank and the rest will be shortly....whether they trace the culprits is another matter, though surely they can trace the adresses for the Sky subsciptions.
To top things off I had my bicycle stolen today in spite of being locked to cycle stand with a fairly heavy duty D-lock......no chance of getting that back I know....I'm keeping a firm eye on my Rics that's for sure
.. today's society.... Tut.
