to the tune of five hundred pounds.
Scum. Subhuman scum.
Has this happened to anyone else, and if so did you get the money back?

Yes - this happened to me a few years ago
I wanted to book a flight to NY and some wanker had bought white goods (not Ipods or laptops, kids - the traditional use of the word). It took 8 weeks but I got the money back from Natwest - it didn't match my spending habits and looked rather suss (ie, at that time it would have been bottle shops, and the like - he he eh).
You will be ok - report it asap and get the crime/fraud squad at your bank onto it.
You will get your money back!
Don't panic!
Why did you take it without asking?
LOL - nice...
This has happened to me
but only for £26.30. I need to call my bank tonight!
Christ - Tonight? RIGHT FUCKING NOW, more like
This hasn't yet happened to me but it's only a matter of time.
I did think it had once but I then realised there'd been a thing where I had to cover a new housemate's deposit before the old could pay me back.
i bought a new handbag
someone at work had their card cloned or something
and lost thousands in a few days.
t'was not nice.
this happened to my flatmate
and they took well over £1,000.
he got it back though so don't worry too much about it.
Cool
it should be pretty obvious it wasn't me spending that money as it's an account I barely use so it won't match my spending patterns. Still, I've said it before and I'll say it again:
THIS COUNTRY
you will get it back
but it's still fuck-annoying. good luck with all the admin stuff.
After a stag weekend
I got an emergency call from my bank saying that it appeared that somebody had run off to Brighton with my credit card and spent all of my money. Sadly it was me.
Hah
Could you have got away with that?
like to see em try and steal money from me..
"£12?? Stingey bastard"
I got had by a fake cash machine
and got ripped off by £500, which pushed me over my overdraft limit, meaning i didnt have any access to money for a few weeks till i got refunded.
And the bastard bank wouldn't extend my overdraft, even though it was their fault i reckon. I mean, why design cash machines with recessed card holes, so you can put fake fittings in them?!
This accusation didnt go down well with the bank, which might explain their lack of sympathy. Hope you have better luck!
