Bacardi_Up Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 How does one insure against this, is it one of them card protection plans or do banks always give you your money back in situations such as this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eskay Jones Posted March 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Thing is with my bank is that i used to do a lot of travelling abroad so i didnt want them to call every time i used it overseas but the fact it was used from one continent to another in such a short space of time was too suspicious. i never knew phillipines is so dodgy twice they tried to use my card. Last time i use any website online. Just too risky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gemma Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 what website are you using?when u get to the payment page, check the bottom right hand corner. There should be a little padlock there which shows that the website is encrypted and securedif it isnt there, DONT ENTER YOUR DETAILSonly use trusted websites as well. but always look out for the padlock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno Di Gradi Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 [b2K] BUMP BUMP BUMP [/b2K]Use your card as less as possible or dont keep money in your account and put money in when necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StreetDreams Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 I assume that your card was used physically I.E swiping in shops abroad??If so then it has nothing to do with 'online' shopping, the card number you entered online can't be used to make a physical card.. it don't work like thatand the padlock just means the page is 'secure' and it can be faked, don't mean thieves won't gain access your details.

HangTheDJ Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 similar thing has happened to mei logged into my online banking and saw over a 3 day period some company has charged me 14.99 seventeen times (£254)rang halifax, they said it looks like "card fraud" and have sent me some documents i need to fill out and return to them (they haven't arrived yet).if its me whos put my details on a dodgy website a few years ago and theyv kept them and charged me now then it surely is my fault and they wont give me the money back?i'm not expecting it back tbh, but this thread has made me think that perhaps they might give it me?
