| Re: Bank account fraud warning!
I was almost a victim last year but thankfully my bank stopped the first dubious transaction (an attempted cash withdrawal in Thailand!) and rang me on my mobile on a Saturday morning to check whether or not I had lost my debit card.
I hadn't but there's been a spate of card cloning in this area - allegedly at 3 local petrol stations - and it seems my card was copied. The bank cancelled it immediately and sent me a replacement. I was quite impressed at their efficiency in spotting and stopping the attempted fraud.
Since then I don't use my card at petrol stations (I pay cash) and I only withdraw cash from machines within bank branches.
