To sort out and check your accounts was a good move OfitG. If you ever need to pay for something on line, it is possible to purchase a card and load it with the sum you require. |

Yes, but what about the things banks do that are silly and help fraudsters? Mine sends correspondence that includes my middle name.......why? Just makes it easy for anyone to find personal info. Even worse, they send out bank statements that show my national insurance number next to my state pension payment. The feeble answer I got when I asked why was that it was the way it came in! |

A few years ago I was asked by my bank to confirm that I had received my new replacement card (I had not) - They said the reason they were getting in touch was that "my card" had been used to draw cashback from various supermarkets in Milton Keynes only 10 mins before I had actually drawn money out of an ATM where I live (in the NW). The new card had been sent out to me but I had never received it and, as the old one was still in date, I was continuing to use it until I received the new one, imagining it was just taking longer to be sent out than normal. |

This thread is so worrying. The whole idea of stealing money from an OAP was a taboo when I was young. It just did not happen. |

My missis has control of several thousand pounds in her bank (which I pay"housekeeping" into) ,account. and pays electric/gas water/council tax by cheque. a few years ago she applied to Damart for some thermal clothing, responding to an advert in a magazine, and was refused credit( she would have sent a cheque, up front with the order) |
