Had my card cloned...

[_Batty_]

Luckily only £30 was deducted, apparently the first deduction is normally a mobile phone 'top up' to see if the card works.

Lloyds where very good, sorting it out within 15mins of my call

keep your eyes peeled people

Sorry to hear that, I hope the bank covered your £30. It's no suprise though because chip and pin is a joke already. I was in a well known male clothes shop a couple of weeks ago and noticed that not only did the keypad not have a privacy guard over it, but there was a cctv camera looking straight at the till area

It would have been childs play to blow the image up and get the PIN. You don't need to know the 3-digit security code when you use a cashpoint

Bring on retina or fingerprint readers, I have been using biometrics for the last 5 years on my front door and it just works.

I have had mine cloned 3 times in the past 4 months and been a victim of cheque fraud another time.
ALways been refunded but it is getting quite boring now.

I've worked out a finger dancing routine to confuse them

Was it the deduction from your account that tipped you off or did you notice something? How do you reckon it happened?

[ukwill]

B'stards took mine for near on £2k ride a couple of weeks ago. I called the bank after the first couple of transactions but they had another 9 transactions waiting to go through... Obviously didn't fk about... Still waiting for the full amount to be put back in my account.

With the aid of a hammer/chloroform it just works for me too!

If that was an arcadia group shop, those are there to stop the most common type of theft form their shops...... which involve staff complicity.

And therein is the problem. I am not sure I would want to be mugged for my eye or fingers TBH!

bio metrics may work but it will have to be relatively weak as you will get fed up if the security prevents your transactions going through

[Salgar]

I had mine cloned a couple of months ago, 20000 Indian rupees drawn out of a cash machine in India. Just told the bank I'd never been to India and had the money back in my account in the next half an hour.

OH had her card cloned 3 times, very frustrating.

It has a calendar built in and you can set who has access by day of the week and groups. I have several groups on it which include: Friends, Family, Girlfriends, Postman, and Wednesday Night Crew (Boys night). There are specific rules of when you can come in and when you cannot. Boys from boys night can only get in on a Wednesday from 8pm.. friends can only get in on afternoons at weekends, Postman can only get into the hallway to leave parcels (doesn't turn off the alarm, just the front door and hallway sensor), girlfriends can only come in when I am not in the house (ie door is locked and I am not in with anyone else!), family can come in as per girlfriend but not at weekends. It works really well

Mother in law does not do technology and only rings the bell. Perect excuse for not answering it - even TV licensing understood when I said I thought it was the mother in law

Personally, I'm happy to live somewhere that you don't need anything like that....

I think that was what you were trying to quote..

I don't need that, but as I was a director of a security company, we evaluated one and I fitted to my door. This is effectively a key-less house now, same as cars with cards etc, and it is really usefull when you're either drunk from the local or have a large bunch of keys. I have not had any negative comments about it from people that use it and the kids love it
