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 and £67.86 through www.markenschuhe.de (nice shoes ).

Someone used my friend's account to buy leather jackets in Tokyo...

Sara just used my card to get 2 tickets for the cimema tomorrow

blimey! what card is it? are you covered against card fraud and internet fraud?

Top Tip #22: Prevent all incidences of credit card fraud by keeping your credit cards permanently maxed out, and being unable to repay them.

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.

I also checked everyones shoes.

From a personal financial perspective I follow Top Tip 22 religiously.
