Just been scammed

Sep 27, 2016 5 Replies

Just looked at my bank statement and someone has scammed me out of £33



  1. I hardly ever use that card anywhere as I use credit cards that give bon uses.

Bloke at the bank will refund me and get plod to look into it, but I even u se a RF shield for the tap feature and pay in only cash at restaurants.



In 2008, I went to Moldova, paid cash everywhere and yet a card that I neve r even used got scammed for £13000.

Somebody at your bank does not like you perhaps.

I think nowadays its a bit like a lottery. Not happened to me yet, but somebody I know has had it twice. There never seems to be any come back as to how these things happen, which makes me wonder if the whole thing is a bit like shoplifting, put down to natural wastage.

Hmmm.. Interesting experience re-ordering my Statins prescription...

Medical practice registration was originally directly with the practice. This morphed to *my.visiononline.co.uk* with fresh registry details. Last time I was there this had apparently changed to

*patient-services.co.uk* but still accepted my old log-in details.

This time I attempted to log in to the patient-services site and got an unrecognised message and an offer to send reminder details.

They wanted D of B, sex, post code, name of house after already having my log-in and password.

Still twitching:-(

I have no idea why you wanted to tell us that, but if you make off- topic posts please indicate it in the subject line. Thanks.

another that scammed his way into money by not paying tax at the going rate.
