Just had a call from BOS asking about various transactions this week. Some fcensoredk stain has been having a lot of fun with my credit card. They booked a fricking holiday. Where do these people get off stealing from others. They are a drain on today's society and should be taken outside and shot.

On a good note, as they booked their holiday under their own name, the police have somewhere to start. Will it be followed up? Who knows. I have to say that the girl from BOS could not have been more helpful so a big thank you to her.

Jade Balzeri, you better pray we never meet.shoot

No the exciting offer I hoped for when opening this thread frown

Sorry to hear your bad news, can't believe they would have booked it in their own name though!? Thats just a bit bonkers!

IIRC you can now join the 1 in 3 uk statistic for victims of this sort.

What a dim wit. Someone stole my mothers card out of the post once and left a trail of train tickets, hire car, motorway tolls and a hotel in France. I sink inspector Clouseau had an easy case zat day.

Fortunately the impulse to steal and the ability to do it successfully seldom occupy the same head!

Also, I know it doesn't lessen the frustration factor but she did get fully reimburssed fairly quickly as I remember.

What gets me is that I hardly ever use the card but did on Monday to buy a few things online from a well known high street shop. Secure website and normal BOS security questions ask so I thought nothing of it. It is a little odd that this has happened the day after I used it. Any connection? Did mention this to the lovely lady at BOS so she will pass on this info. All charges have been removed so I am not out of pocket.

I'm now finding myself chuckling at the sheer stupidity of Dumbass Jade. I know, I'm assuming it was her that did but it makes me feel better.

Time to crack open a nice bottle of red I think

I suppose that if this is a holiday with flights included they have to book under their own name otherwise they will not have tickets that match their passports. It does provide a nice big clue on how to find them though!

Are you sure you didn't get a phone that went like this:

"Good evening Sah, I'm calling from your bank or building society to let you know about some unusual activity on your account. Have you recently booked a holiday?"
"No..."
"No, we didn't think so. Can you confirm your card number for me please?"
"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
"...and the security code?"
"xxx"

"Thankyou sah, have a nice day."

i like your style. The heat prevents them from bleeding to death as it burns the stab wound shut.

I prefr my method of torture though.

Take a blow torch a scalpal and a bowl of sal, heat up scalpal with blow torth untill red hot and make inch long incision on the person (reheating the scalpal after every 5-10 cuts) and then once finished throw salt all over them and leave them to writhe in pain.

I just force them to watch 'The One Show' more torture than any person can take.

We had over £6000 pinched by a feral scumbag a couple of years ago. They bought car insurance, furniture, congestion charge payments, airline tickets and ferry tickets to Ireland. The furniture was delivered to an empty house in Dublin, where our little chum waited, and when the driver came to deliver, she just rushed out , signed for the kit, and waited for her friend to arrive in the Transit.

I contacted all of the relevant companies that had supplied goods/ services and not one was in the slightest bit interested. Nor were the BiB I hasten to add.
