Assalam Alaikum
Some Basket is doing credit card fraud with my account.
I went to buy a travelcard yesterday and for some reason the machine wasnt accepting my debit card. I had to get Oyster pay as you go instead. So then i decided to check my account becos i was sure i had alot of money Alhamdulilah. When i check i only had £2.39.
So when i went to the back to check my account statement, i saw that some guy in south america withdrew like over £300 from my account :rubeyes:. When i told the relevant people, they said that someone has cloned your card and withdrawn money :rubeyes:
When i find the guy im gonna punch his face in, the Basket.
Anyways, just to warn you guys to be careful and check your account regularly for any suspicious activity. :up:

Thats so wrong, someone had taken £500/£600 from my husbands account last year off course we got it back after informing the bank so now we go through our statements properly
alot of the times before i would just look at the statement and put it away
Sorry to hear about that inshaALLAH you should get the money back but it just makes me really :mad: mad!
One time I was walking home from the High Street and a Muslim girl whom I've known since childhood was driving past and offerred me a lift. As it was late evening so she insisted and I got in the car. As it was dark, I hadn't noticed my debit card fell out of my pocket. The next day I wanted to go shopping and noticed my card wasn't in my jacket pocket. I called the bank and they informed me that in those few hours when I didn't realise it was missing, someone had spent hundreds of pounds on my card at certain high street stores.
I contacted the police and told them what happened, as well as my suspicions that either that girl or a member of her family must've used my card (I know some of her brothers are criminals but didn't know about her). They said they'd check CCTV and asked for a copy of my statement but they called me a couple of months later saying their investigation didn't yield any results so they were unable to make any arrests or take things further.
Alhamdullilah the bank repaid my money but I've never been able to look at that girl in the same way since. Allahu alim- I don't know why I never confronted her over it. When she sees me now, she talks as if nothing ever happened so I wonder if she's unaware of what happened or if she's good at putting on an act to make out everything is okay.
yeh sucks i had £1200 pounds taken from my Credit Card account - someone spent it on holiday tickets and charity :rolleyes:
luckily i did not have to pay it back since i was covered

ibn k, dont worry bruv the bank will give you your money back. they will probably send some forms and ask for you to sign and return it.

lol @ charity. never knew fraudsters care so much about giving money to charity.
i reckon tho that charity is probably controlled by the fraudsters!!

very serious problem. lots of youngsters here do it ... u see them, no jobs but riding in Golf 4 and carrying laptops ... and u'll b surprised some of them are Muslim (at least they claim to be).
my sister in the UK lost 400 quids some time back.
