YES, we all use them now, and 'hope' that it all goes ok when we purchase things every day...
My 'missus', (7:30pm here), just got a call from her Bank. (Yes, it's legitimate). It seems she has
lost about $3,000 from her account, beginning at about 4.00am this morning. We are generally
SO meticulous about on-line transactions. And ONLY use Paypal also, for any transactions.
The Bank said that the 1st 'transaction' was from Sydney. (We are in W.A.). And then there were
5 other transactions from 'Italy'... immediately afterwards!!?? They presently 'suspect' a 'skimming'
device, although we can not understand how? I CAN'T imagine a Supermarket Teller device having
a 'skimming' device. So it's either an 'ATM' or a corrupt online purchase.
They PROMISE she will get all her money back!, but I don't know what more we can do to stop this
in the future! 'I'm' generally well educated about so-called 'skimming' devices at an ATM. I 'look' for
them, and think I would know... So it's back to 'on-line' liars/schemers. They should be SHOT!!
