No but I’ve watched stuff on the Amazon Prime channel and had a chuckle at the poor c**t paying for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, only with Netflix, but thankfully the stupid c**t who'd stolen my card details maxed it out straight afterwards by trying to buy himself an expensive holiday I phoned the card provider and they sent me a paper form to list all of the transactions that weren't mine, which they deducted from my account pretty sharpish. They had me report it to Action Fraud, and I never heard anything about it again. Remarkably quick and painless, but it had only been about a week before I noticed the abnormalities. BTW, I've noticed that it gets easier to sack off from checking your transactions if you switch to digital statements rather than paper. Haven't checked my credit card in a couple of months as I don't use it. Will need to remember to start doing that again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UsedToGoToCentralPark Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 I only noticed today when I went to print out a monthly as I am my mother's financial guardian. Completely missed the month before, so annoyed with myself for that. Nothing is different on the account apart from an NHS Highland payment in which they used WorldPay for a transaction. Anyway from what I gather from online, both security and customer service has more holes in it than the Fort William defence. So very likely was hacked recently again and card details copied and sold on. I've asked the bank to cancel the card. How quick does it take for a card cancel to go through these days, have never had to cancel a card ever?Should be instant if you do it online or speak to someone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noticed an odd transaction on our credit card (Tescobank) a few years back. Phoned them up and they cancelled the card and organised replacements immediately. They then went through transactions that they could see but didn’t show up in my online banking yet to see if they were legit. A couple of them weren’t. All the dodgy transactions were refunded within a few days. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but I did once realise that I was paying for somebody's monthly pass for a cinema in Stellenbosch, SA. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More for watching something in the morning. Also means that I can watch something interesting in comfort when I come back to find the other half watching Downton Abbey or whatever. Got offered a spare TV doing nothing other than gathering dust, hence the change. Should say that by 'installed', I actually mean 'stuck a wee TV on top of the drawers'.

We’ll never see each other and never talk to each other. We are a couple, we both work hard and we need to spend quality time together of an evening’ We are now 12 years divorced.

Me either, never thought the TV in a hotel room was revolutionary so don't get the point. Got a TV in my office though, but I don't sleep in there, much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sounds weird but I love stories about fraud and grifters. Can’t find a Thernos thread, Holmes found guilty of four charges of fraud. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
