Yesterday I was contacted by my bank who said they had intercepted unauthorised use of one of my Credit cards.
(The Bank had refunded the money). The strange thing was, the card used is locked in my safe. I only use it for occasional on-line purchases.
This made me think.
I didn’t know thieves could use my card if it was actually locked away, especially as I hadn’t used this particular card for weeks I had heard of card details being accessed through a handbag or pocket but I thought that to buy goods you either had to have the card on you, or at least, know the pin. The Bank told me this is not the case and the thieves could have accessed my details by hacking into sites where I had given them.
Maybe most people know this. I didn’t so I thought it was worth passing on.
They’re clearly out to get us!
