Oh that is awful!!!! For the last couple of months I've had emails from 'Barclays IBank' (notice the I before the bank), asking me to verify my account details, security update, urgent, urgent etc. etc.. Considering I have never banked with Barclays these are deleted without opening. What an dreadful scam! Sylvxx |

Not only that but we've had to make 2 hours (or more) phone calls to change passwords, cancel the affected cards, change e-mail addresses etc etc - my head feels as tho it's about to explode! I can't even get pi...d tonight 'cos I'm on 7:30 start at work tomorrow!! I hope they catch them and tell me who they are so I can catch them by their short and curlies and give them a good deal of physical pain!!!!! |

I would fell sick to, you poor thing, I am sure you will get it all back in time, my son did when his card was cloned, he used a Tesco’s cash point, they had 1300 in three day’s, it was only someone telling me it had been targeted, and I asked son if he had used it, I will not repeat his words when he cheeked it on line.

It's strange but I feel worse about this than when we were burgled a few years ago, it's almost like raping you of your identity -really horrid! |

My hubby responded to an e-mail from our bank--it looked genuine in every way---it was scam and someone has left us £2000 in debt!!!! The bank and the police have been brilliant but I feel so sick I just want to cry -- ------------------------------ The bank managed to intercept the money to a building society in Swindon of all places! They are in the process of refunding it, and the fraud squad are involved!! PHEW!!!! I have spent the most stressfull 24 hours in ages and it sure as heck won't happen again. thanks again for the support Carol |
