POS?
Yazza54 - 16/6/11 at 08:13 PM

As I understand, pos means point of sale. Could this mean a Internet payment or is it only when you purchase something at a till?

I just checked my bank account and there is a withdrawal that says POS 14JUN... But the money has only left today (16th)

It's for 99p, which although it's fk all, I cannot remember doing it and don't see why I would ever pay for something at a till or online for 99p.

iTunes songs are sometimes 99p but they clearly show up that they are from iTunes on the statement so it isn't that. Confused.

Ring your bank in the morning,could be someone trying to clone your card,they usually withdraw a small ammount first to see if it gets noticed.

Not a Paypal check to confirm your credit card, I think they are 99p?

I thought it meant pile of sh...!

However, scammers do sometimes do a small transaction to test a card before hitting it properly. So with that in mind, id call the bank and make sure its legit. Better safe than sorry!

As keith777 said above, be wary, I had £1.00 taken out of my account yonks ago and, like you, wrote it off as something odd I must've done, 2 days later they took £1000
It was the day after I'd lost my job too so wsa an exrta kick in the nuts! (bank gave it back with little fuss though ).

agree with all the above.. check ASAP... it has happened to me twice now.... start off with very small transactions to check cloned details or card work then they go for it...
