Credit card FRAUD,

[kaneg]

don't know how they got almost all of my details correct...goes to show, you cant be too careful, if they want to get you, they will

and that's without my name being Jason Bourne out of the Bourne Ultimatum.......

[MadKaw]

Well that sucks...

I had a similar experience although not to your extent.
I had a bunch of purchases appear on my credit card statement a few years ago from purchases made in Manilla.
I hadn't been there for a while so I rang Visa to have it checked it out. The stupid thing was the purchases were made using an old credit card number that had expired about 5 or 6 months prior, instead of cancelling it Visa just transfered em to my new card.
So it was pretty easy to sort and got all the $ back, was about $3000 to $4000..

[SoundGuy]

Still sounds like a double scam to me.

[MickLC]

FMD that sounds nasty Pete, hope you get it sorted.

I was just reading an article on identity theft yesterday and they were saying one of the ways they get the private information is to ring a person with the account details they already have and pose as someone from the bank telling them that their account has had suspicious activity...blah blah blah...can you please confirm your details, thankyou very much, then they go to town with your account.

From their point of view the bank ends up paying for it so they don't feel much sympathy for the poor bugger at the other end of the deal

A person l knew was told by the bank he had a $5000 loan which he hadn't made any payments on. He told them he didnt have a loan with them so they showed him the contract with his signature and the ex girlfriends as well. He said it wasnt his signature, they said prove it........so he told them that the date it was signed he was in prison.......never heard from them again

[Gosling1]

bad luck Pete, hope you don't get stung for any excess costs at all......

I hate fraud, its the lowest of low acts...

[Neka79]

wot a load of shit..im sick of hearing stories like this.. bastards should get a job and work for a living!!

good luck with it mate!!

[Lone Wolf]

Anyway it turns out I was the last in a line of purchases he had made......

But get this - one of the purchases was a hooker!

Hmmm, this sounds rather suss to me

[kaneg]

Today, it's all seem to be sorted.
NAB taken all the charges off our card that incured by the crooks and we'll receive our new cards with new numbers hopefully by tomorrow.

The only paifull part remaining is to make sure all automated monthly bills like electricity, health insurance,, etc..(6-7) are now coming out of the new card , so a bit of hassle but nothing like what we immagined ...

Some of the larger purchases below, all made on the 28th & 29th of March:
K-mart Penrith $1097
JB Hi-FI Penrith $657
All phones Penrith $2400
JB Hi FI Penrith $2812
Myer Penrith $2878

There was a couple of large petrol station charges as well, but we don't know the exact amounts. One was around a $180 and the other $150 both of them at the Shell at EC. That's strange! I was at EC on the 29th but didn't stop at the servo, got fuel the day before on the Central Coast.

So , by the look of things it wasn't the Chinese mafia, but the Penrith mob..

[hoffy]

Are u sure you and the misses wern't on some crazy binge drinking / drug smoking session..check your garage the stuff might be in there

Nah seriously..That sucks mate , you shouldn't be out of pocket, it happened to a mate of mine and he got it all back..

[Poyda]

Glad it all got sorted for you Pete,

So who gets there butt kicked at all those stores, will they have to repay the bank for accepting a stolen card??? I never mind when I'm asked to re-sign a credit card docket, at least I know they're checking properly, or they're just being bitches

[aardvark]

The filthy bastards will get caught... The good thing about this sort of lowlife act, is that there is always a trail. Paperwork, data, video....

i dunno....

we were the shop who had a $4k bbq bought off us using a stolen credit card over the phone... i took the drivers name, and rego etc.. and we never saw the bbq or the $$

we had sum guy ring last week trying to buy a $2k bbq... i asked for a delivery address and refused to let him collect it.. he then cancelled the sale (i couldnt get his number off him either)...

The thing is, since the card been "re-produced" by them, they could sign it any which way they wish on the card as well as on the purchase dockets.....

I wonder if we'll ever hear back from NAB regarding it ??
