We were at the hairdressers a few weeks back and her credit card was rejected. She spoke to the bank and they authorised the transaction but gave her a number to ring ASAP. It turned out her credit card (which she rarely uses) had been maxed out to over £6000. The bank were checking out the 'unusual activity'.
It turned out that they were all internet transactions that had taken place over just three days. The bank were fine and she's not liable for any of it, she just has to sign a form to confirm that none of the transactions were hers.
We got the letter from the bank with all the details, including a website address - the Electoral Roll. All the others mentioned "SkillJam". I Googled it and it turns out it's an online gaming site. I think some of them are just ordinary games, but there are some with cash prizes too.
I guess the bank will probably have informed the police but no idea whether there's any chance of tracking them down.
I'm just really glad the bank believed her!
