Crime Victim

I have had one of my credit cards cloned. It was used to spend £400 on shoes (that's more than I would spend in a decade!) but was then detected by an online seller whose security was good enough to stop an order for a plasma telly. It was no more than a minor inconvenience to me, and we had new cards within a few days. Interestingly there was a single ITunes purchase, used to check the validity of the number I guess. I wonder where they got the details from though? I never let the card out of my sight. A while ago at the local Sainsburys there was a young lad who finished up in court for using a card skimmer. He was only small fry, but cards using information he had gathered were used in £600,000 worth of fraud.
