Lloyds TSB just phoned from their fraud team some theiving gypsy has taken £2,500 from our account in 2 days all on line and from some place in hongkong i am so pissed off right now you have no idea marc is at work fuming as there was only £400 in the account so they have used that plus £2k in overdraft and another £100 so we are going to end up with some whopping charges until we can get our money back which wont be for about 3 weeks because the police have to investigate first arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

bluddy hell

I hope they sort it soon, you wont have to pay the charges but even so its a pain in the butt!

Jesus christ!!!
Hope you get it sorted soon!

awwwww bloody cheeky bastards god it makes me so mad when these things happen. hope its all sorted soon for you x

Cheeky feckers!!!! Are you liable for the charges then??

xx

omg how the hell has that happened x Really hope u manage to sort things out x

it is because we have no money now for 2 weeks at least until marc gets paid again im just frantically worrying about what im going to use to buy nappies and bits of food for gracie, i phoned my mum in tears and dad is going to stock me up on nappies tomorrow and going to give us their credit card to ensure we have money for petrol and food its just a great big pain in the backside

Ahh bless your Mum and Dad, though you shouldn't need to rely on them

How in the world? Did they access your comp info? Frikken scary how thieves can wipe you out within seconds. What a horrible feeling hun! xxx

I feel like i have been violated, the woman at Lloyds said that there is probably some cleaver little stick out there monitoring the banks (we never use the card anymore at cashpoints or in shops we go to the bank and get money out straight from them never use it in shops so there is no physical way people could skim our card x

arghh just so angry at ourselves for letting this happen

I was told recently that at some shopping malls, thieves plant card readers on the debit machines..and also plant their friends to steal credit card info...We have started using cash a lot more..but even that is risky. I hope everything comes back real soon in your acct. Hope they catch the bastards and lock em up for life!

Hey babe you wont have to pay for any charges as the bank has a policy on it, I just told Alan and he says he knows because it happened to him before we got together years ago x

You see I dont let anyone have my card at all! The only person who has my card details is Alan and even then he doesnt like using it would rather I transfer the money over online banking!

Im so sorry this has happened to you guys!! I hope they sort it out quickly, and what fab parents!!! xxx

sugar im sorry you have to go thru that xx

no one has had our card thats the thing we dont use it apart from at the bank and even then they have the card readers now x

OMFG I can't believe they're making you wait so fluffing long!!!! I mean it's your bank account FFS, how do they expect you to live without it???

ATM's are such an easy way for your details to be cloned as they put a cover over the real ATM that reads your mag strip on your card as you put it in and has a tiny camera aimed at the key pad to take your pin. As you still get your cash you don't notice anything. There will most probably be someone shoulder surfing for your pin too. Makes me sick!!!

suzie i know what youre going through they took a similar amount from me a few years back and i had to default on my mortgage and bills, in the interim all lloyds offered me was a loan while they investigated, You will get it all back it just takes a few weeks.

strangely enough it happened to me again today but i get texts now for overseas transactions so caught it after a few pounds, its worth signing up for as its free

hope you get it sorted soon. x

Suzi I'm sorry to hear that, I really hope you manage to get it sorted quickly. Also thankyou, as you prompted me to check my bank account and t-mobile have billed me more than double this month, but yet the phone that bill is for hasn't even been switched on! XX

Aww hun, hope it all gets sorted out xxx

same thing happened to my mum a few month ago but only 600. its the local ATM, the pretend coppers were telling every1 about it but the friggin thing was still open! why didnt they shut the friggin thing down knowing that every person using it was prob guna be ripped off!

arghhhhhhhhhhhh
