Whats this?? Has my card been cloned??

I've just checked my online LloydsTSB bank account on the internet to see debits that are nothing to do with me. The details are as follows.

DEBIT - CCBILLEU.COM +18885969279 £38.56
MT 74.95
XR 1.94372
CD 2235
OVERSEAS TRANSACTION FEE £1.00
CD 2235

DEBIT - Epoch.com *PriceComm £15.11
US 29.38
XR 1.94441
CD 2235
OVERSEAS TRANSACTION FEE £1.00
CD 2235

I will, of course, contact my bank but has anybody seen this before? I've googled the companies but neither are companies that I have ever used before or even knew existed. The total is £55.67, not a great deal I know but could this be card fraud?

Any ideas??

Craig.

The company Credit Card I use was recently cloned. Same thing happened with purchases overseas.

Well....I'm screwed. I've just found a withdrawal for £1.50 as well from a company called STAGECOACH SERV. A quick google has opened up a whole world of pain. I found this quote.

Quote:

Also be careful, there are skimmers trying loads of cards for small amounts using megabus.com merchant account for small amounts between 1GBP to 6GBP, then your account gets emptied a few days later. If you notice a charge from WP-STAGECOACH SERV, its advisable to cancel your card immediately.

I've definitely been cloned. Does the bank reimburse these monies or have I lost them?

You will get the money back but you need to call the back now to ease the painful process, this has happened to me a few times (too much time in the far east!) I have had £10k debited out of my account in a day after having a couple of small charges put through the day before. It will get sorted but sometimes it can take a couple of weeks!
