Hope they can trace it back to the phones being used & **** them er I mean arrest them.

I had a couple of attempts made on one of my cards for some online casino betting. Luckily they didn't match my normal spending pattern & my card supplier blocked them. Bit scary though.

A guy at work spotted dodgy card thingys at Asda petrol garage in Chelmer Village, Chelmsford at the weekend. Called the Police etc and there were at least 2 card readers and PIN recorders on two of the pumps (the pay at the pump ones).

The Police said that it might be too late as the info can be picked up remotely so the scammers could be sitting in a car in the car park getting PINS etc as soon as you input them!!!!

Thieving scum!

you should be ok for retreiving the money mate, as long as there is sufficient evidence that no one at your address was able to create the 2 new accounts.

probably find it is in some polish name!!!

There's been a hell of a lot of cards cloned in Halstead with transactions being made in South Africa and Canada. The banks caught on when someone used their card in Sudbury and then in Canada about 2 minutes later!
It appears the local (well known) petrol station is to blame
