Warning. Used Plastic in Aylesbury or Kenilworth?

[JimmyTheOne]

Cashpoints are still being rigged (Aylesbury) and the Petrol Station Scam continues (Kenilworth).

The petrol retailers started a campaign this week to guard your PIN. Good advice, but there are numerous ways to obtian PINs, may I suggest even even tampering with PIN pads.

All you can do is check your statements and consider continuting to sign by way of a Chip & Signature Cards.

According to the press, fraud on UK-issued cards used overseas has risen by a massive 126%. Crooks are cloning UK Debit & Credit Cards at an inudstrial rate. They are then using the cloned cards, not in shops but at ATMs and to do this they need your PIN.

Update on Aylesbury.

It looks like it wasn't an ATM or ATMs but an in store chip and PIN machine:

Seems Chip & PIN machines are being targetted:

Robbers take chip-and-pin machines from store

Story click here:

If card issuers know where and when and over what period of time card details and PINs were compromised, or possibly compromised shouldn't they be informing cardholders?

After all: the banking code 12.7 states:

It is essential that you tell us as soon as you can if you suspect or discover that:
someone else knows your PIN, password or other security information.

How did they get that PIN? (WatchDog Video).

Hi

Thanks for you posts I will be reading your links with interest

We live near Aylesbury and my sons girlfriend has just had her card cloned and money taken out yesterday in the Ukraine. £200 - not good for a girl who has just lost her job.

As far as she remembers she has only used lloyds cashpoints recently - but who knows when it was done

As you say a big problem !

	Are you letting your bank keep your money Are you giving away thousands of pounds?? Many people aren't claiming all of the money they are entitled to when they make their bank charges claims. You have been forced to pay unfair bank charges. Have you forgotten that your bank has charged you inteest on those charges? If you are overdrawn and the bank owes you charges - then your overdraft is made up of charges - money which you bank owes you. Yet you are paying interest to the bank - on your own money!!! Follow this link to see the discussions on this. You might even double th size of your claim.

Hi,

I live v. near Kenilworth, although I have not had any problems, I have warned my friends and family about this scam.

The local paper says that over 50 people have been duped, but the Petrol station is not commenting and this has happenend over a period of time.

Does anyone know which petrol station it is, there are two in Kenilworth a Shell and a Jet?
