Little gits

Did a £10 oxfam purchase yesterday and a £8 today and this AM...

Barstewards. get the Police onto them for fraud ( if you can prove it was them that is)
If it looks wrong it probably is wrong.

Who knows. Credit card has taken a bit of a battering recently in the house move and it's been given out to quite a few different skip
companies, van rental companies etc etc. I'm not saying it's one of them but it's certainly seen some action recently!!

Normally they do a couple of charity donations to test the card!! We had something at work about CC Companies refusing payments for this reason while
making donations to Haiti Disaster Appeal!!

This seems to be happening all too often nowadays.
Its a bit strange that the first thing they do after cloning someones credit car is to spend £18 at oxfam 
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

Not really it's probably done on-line, just to see if the details work before exacting a large amount of cash.

Yup, especially as you don't need the home address (see the Clarkson thing where he gave his card details and someone took a load of cash).
Some completely stupid companies let you buy stuff from them with an incorrect invoice address (ie they only ask for a delivery address).

I'm still waiting for them to distribute those new cards - they have a keypad on which you enter your personal number (only known to you, not
the ATM PIN). When you've done that it gives you a once-only card number to use as you see fit. If some low-life tries to use it elsewhere it
will get rejected.
It exists, at least one bank (Barclays?) have said that they're interested - but I've heard nothing since...

but now barclays have come out with this thing where you just wave your card at the til and you don't need to put a number in or anything. how
is that secure?

It's not but it's small amounts of cash only so they work on the principle it's not worth worrying about. In the same way that
credit card companies don't usually bother getting the police involved to investigate CC crime. Just cancel the card and send out a new one....

That card waving around thing is only for tranactions of £12.00 or less. Low risk stuff. No different to the M6 toll i guess where you only have to
put your card in, no PIN required.
I think barclays have that one shot card number. We have a little device that looks like a calculator at work that you put a card in and it generates
some number for you. I don't use it so am not 100% sure what it does......

Natwest make you use a card-reader for online banking. Works quite well although the crappy little card-reader obviously has an EEPROM in it (cos it
has a counter) and its make on the cheap in the RoC so it probably also has a nice little bit in it which remembers the PIN
