Had a bit of trouble with to computer saying no the last couple of days whilst paying for petrol. Phoned the bank up to see what the problem was and was told that my card had been used to try and buy goods in Dublin a few times last week so they put a hold on my card.
I'm pretty sure I know where it got cloned, in the Shell garage in Diss where I'm currently working. About a month ago they weren't chip and pinning card transactions just swiping them and getting you to sign on the dotted line.
So do not use this scamming garage!
Fucking johnny foreigeners! :machinegun:

It always seems that there's a Shell garage involved every time I read one of these threads.

ditto!
i had my company card cloned from the shell station in bury on newmarket road. they took a few grand out until i noticed few strange transactions on the old internet accounting package.
once i went through the business support on my bank account they were as good as gold and refunded every single penny.
the mofo of it is however, is that i only ever used that petrol station to fill up the mighty shed when i was out on a weekend, which is rare enough!
maybe they were looking for pale blue (business) barclay cards because business users are so notoriously slack
