Credit Card Fraud - A2B Transfers and Resorthoppa

[stoop]

My brother in in Portugal and booked his transfers with Resorthoppa about two weeks ago. He has just messaged me to say his debit card has been compromised. His bank rang to say there are three transactions that they were worried about. It's been used to attempt to buy two Virgin games and a phone top up!

Now then - I just checked my account again and all seems fine. Without going through the whole thread again would it be possible for those affected to say whether they were in Turkey when they got the call from their bank or in the UK? Our kid thinks they might wait until you go to the country you have booked for befeore they attempt to take the money. Would make sense I guess as it might not flag up so quickly if you have already used your card over there.

My bank never forwarned me but I booked with Resorthoppa 31 May. The trip in Turkey was 3 - 24 July and the money taken 23 August. So no, I wasn't out of the UK

Had £60 skimmed off my account this week. 5 off phone tops for O2 and EE pay as you go. Only time this card has ever been used online was to pay for a Resort hoppers transfer. Made the payment early July and transactions came through early September when I was back in the UK by 3 weeks. Seems too much of a coincidence!!

Just checking. Seems live my bruv got stung too. I got him the transfer as well only £8 gone out as the others were pending. It's the hassle though. Now in Portugal with no debit card!

My A2B transfer was booked in Turkey (late June) for someone flying from the uk. If I had recieved
any notification from my bank, it is still at my uk address and no call from them. It has
only been my e mailing them I found out about a small unknown transaction that the
bank blocked. The attempted fraudulant transaction took place after the return transfer
to the uk, sometime in early August.
 For now, no access to pay for anything usuing my card till I return tothe uk in 5 weeks and order a new one.

Call me picky, but after 5 pages of people being conned by this company, has anyone brought this to the attention of the police?
