Some little scummer has been going shopping using a clone of my credit card. The only thing they didn't reckon with is it at the moment there iss only £40 available in the account, so after they tested in on Paypal with £1, donated a £1 to a Christian charity in France and paid for a £10 top-up on their phone they were left high and dry when they tried to buy a £40 bus ticket to get home
I hope the fake credit card cost them more to buy than they got from my account
Thank fuck for credit insurance

Don't know. The account has been frozen, but I thought it would be fairly easy to trace it back considering as you can only buy electronic top-up these days. The two problems are, you can do it online from an internet cafe where no one will know you've done it and you can use a payg phone without registering your details very well.
You'd have to be a fucking idiot to use a cloned card online from your home address or on a registered mobile phone. Surely
