Frauds

OoO..
Note to self and friends out there : pls do check your internet banking account routinely..
why?
mira told me someone used her debit card today without her knowing it :(
she was checking her internet banking acc then realised sth was odd cos there were some payments which she never made and was taken out of her acc..(she v rarely do shop online)
lucky only not much money..
called hsbc then they refund her money..and cancel her card
apparently its quite common now, most prob it happens when you withdraw money at some random cashmachine, then got something that can 'copy' your card..
so yah :
1. check bank statement carefully
2. dont randomly withdraw from cashmachines in dodgy-places

Just realised how reliant ive become to debit cards since ive been living in UK..
