[QUOTE="Marg's Man, post: 188228, member: 4085"] There are remedies but they take time. I had a long session with the bank, filling out the usual forms required in these situations. Then a trek to the police station to lodge a report with them. The entire morning of my day off gone. Another hidden cost of criminal activity. We SHOULD be able to get most of our money back from the bank but it will be a while before it happens. I also think we have been victims of someone accessing our card details while the cards were in transit but we are in no position to even make an accusation. The bank's investigators will be. The messages Marg referred to where not asking us to reply with confidentiall details but simply reminders thtat we would need to log on to the appropriate websites and let them know what arrangements had been made for the expired card. I am very aware of the risk associated with internet transactions plus we NEVER answer spam. Even suspicious notes from legitimate sources are checked so I don't think we've been 'got at' from that direction. Now all we can do is sit back and hope. Marg's Man [/QUOTE]
