Dubby Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 If someone has your card all they need to do is go into your bank and ask to close your account, sign a piece of paper and they'll have all your money.The way the Lloyds staff didn't even ask me for ID was ridiculous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meticulous Posted April 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Nah they dont have my card thankfully cos then theyd have my expiry/security number as wellAnd I doubt theyre gonna hand my whole balance out on a normal one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
streets.

I don't know if all banks do this but I know with Halifax & Natwest you need to enter additional security details to create a new transfer. This isn't 100% foolproof but just another layer that frustrates the fraudsters when trying.As for getting your money back, the banks are starting to take a tough line on victims. If they believe you were negligent with your password they aint trying to give you your money back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flex Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Nah u cant just close the account, depends how much doe u got in there, above a couple bags need ID, most cases below that is jus a case of signature verification. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imhim Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 yep, with halifax, when you wanna send money now, they ask you for additional security. But as you said, as the people now know your security details, transfers will/have been in progress... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
