Just wondering if any one has a Tesco credit card, in particular a platinum one.
Fiona and myself have one (seperate accounts;)) and have both had problems in the past couple of weeks.
These cards are very rarely used, mines has only been used twice in the past 13 months and Fiona's was used last in November.
We have both received separate telephone calls, hers last week and mines today from the fraud department saying someone is trying to buy of the internet, - mostly easyjet on Fionas for amounts around £400 - £500.
We still have both cards in our possession, although they have now been cancelled and there was absolutley no hassle when the transactions were denied by us (shows they must have a decent system for catching the bad ones), but to my knowledge, there has been no way that any receipts were left lying about and the cards have never been used on the internet.(remembering that you need the security number off the back of the card for internet purchases)
I work with credit cards and know about all the little tricks that some unscrupulous (sp?) people can get up to with them, but I am pretty certain these cards have never been tampered with.
Now beginning to wonder if there is a problem with the Tesco card. ie the start number is very close to another companys number or something like that and would be very intrested to hear if anyone else has had a problem with their card.
Thanks
David.
