Credit Card Fraud

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Anyone out there been stung via the web?

Just had my company purchasing card statement in and some bastard has been very naughty. £344.10 through lastminute.com, £414.49 through Meridiana Airlines in Olbia, £24.49 through National Express in Birmingham :urff: and £67.86 through www.markenschuhe.de (nice shoes :wink: ).

:evil:

Yep, but it's just a pain in the arse. It's purely used for internet bookings when we can't book via our GDS or don't have credit facilities with the supplier. Whoever's being using it won't have had the three digit security code or the billing address so VISA will just reverse everything (eventually) and the suppliers will be hit for the loss as they haven't carried out the correct security checks.

First time it's happened and funny how when I sent an email to all staff along the lines of ' ...we can tell which PC has been hacked ...disciplinary action etc' everyone suddenly takes an active interest in running scans and keeping their spyware/ad-aware up to date. :innocent:

I also checked everyones shoes. :lol:
