Credit Card Fraud - A2B Transfers and Resorthoppa

[Scunner]

I haven't to be honest. In fact, had I not read on Facebook about people linking it to A2B/Resorthoppa I doubt I'd ever had made the link myself. My bank certainly didn't mention them.

Well I'm surprised at some if the gaps between booking and attempted transactions. I only booked with Resorthoppa for Portugal on 15th August so I guess this could still happen to me.

I might call Tesco tomorrow to cancel my card just in case.

When I phoned my bank and said there could be a link with golfbookers she said they would put a note on my file, but their concern is only getting the money refunded from O2.
It's then down to O2 to recover the money so I doubt any of us will ever get confirmation from our banks that it was related.

Banks do not like to give out information if security is breached.  It gives them bad publicity, they will not even call the police in.
My daughter had a cheque book stolen from her post box in a a block of flats she lived in.  The person drew money from her account emptying it this was in a bank and he and his partner where filmed.  They were never challenged to show any identity when they put the cheques over the counter.
The Police told us they could not act unless the Bank complained to them, but banks do not complain.
My daughter asked the bank for some credit until it was sorted out as she did not have a penny left.
The bank refused as she had a bad credit rating, this was because her account was empty!!!!!!
It took 6 weeks to sort out and the Bank refused to let her have any more details.  They made her an extra payment of £150.00 for her trouble after the six week period... However, we had to lend her money over this period of time so she could pay bills and buy food.
She did change her Bank as she was so disgusted at the treatment she received, all because Banks hate publicity.

My bank didn't actually mention the Resorthoppa transaction, just some that appeared since. They told me they would send me a new card and to destroy the current one. In fact, I had no chance to check the account - after the call I couldn't remember the name of the hotel/holiday company so I went online to see and the entire credit card account had been removed without trace from "My Accounts".

Well I've done a thorough search on line and cannot find any other such problems with any other destinations. It seems to be restricted to Turkey as far as I can tell.

Like kayakebab my bank werent interested - just said it is down to O2 to re-imburse them and investigate. There is one person on Olu Deniz TA who booked Resorthoppa for Eygpt and has had fraudulent transactions on their account but it doesnt seem to be on the same scale as Dalaman customers.

It's quite a privileged position the banks have - they are entirely responsible for the security of card systems and transactions but breaches of them don't cost them a penny. Nice work if you can get it.

Umm and my bank didnt see 6 top ups to mobile phones in one day as irregular activity - despite the fact I never top up mobiles and this seems to be a favourite fraud. Slow off the mark Lloyds, but then if they look to the mobile phone companies for re-imbursement what do they care!

[Scunner]

Exactly! And then I'll turn up in Fethiye (as I do and have done several times a year for over a decade) and my card will be declined because of "irregular activity"!!!
