Someone's cloned my credit card 
Did a £10 oxfam purchase yesterday and a £8 today and this AM...
wham
£380 purchase from Fragrances Direct.
Just trying to get them to tell me the delivery address so I can go round with the boys and practice my bone un-setting skills.
As usual CC company have been okay about it and cancelled everything suspicious...

Dirty thieving filthy scumbags
They need thier hand's cutting off.

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

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...

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......
