[Closed] Thieving B*****ds - a word of warning to everyone

mildred · 2013-03-01T18:21:48Z

Just discovered all my bank accounts have been cleared out. It would appear its all been done over the phone with transfers into another bank account. They've changed all my contact details and preferences in internet banking, applied for a loan and drawn all the money out of my flexi-loan, current accounts and overdraft facilities. The bank account into which they've paid it has been set up in a name very close to mine. They've known my mother's maiden name, where my place of birth is on my birth certificate (which is technically wrong), and because they've already changed contact details this has been verified by calling [i]me[/i] back. 2 weeks of sustained attacks on my account has left me with thousands of pounds of debt, though the bank are refunding and amending everything for me. I haven't had any phishing calls/emails, I'm anal about virus detection on my PC, I follow all the reccomendations from the banks yet they still cleaned me out. Just letting folk know as a reminder to check accounts regularly, and if you use internet banking do regular checks for oddities in personal details.
