Credit Card Fraud - A2B Transfers and Resorthoppa

[susuz.1]

My friend in IT industry says it is likely that A2B/Resort Hopper site has been hacked, probably without their knowledge. A pre-loaded card with just enough to pay would be the only way to protect yourself but they may still get your identity details. I personally wouldn't chance it unless I could pay cash as the website is clearly not safe and insecure!!

I too will continue using them why should the drivers lose work and wages etc none of what has happened is their fault, maybe it is a  coincidence who knows maybe the "hackers" are becoming cleverer, I have had another fraudulent transaction on another of my cards that has not been used with A2b with a watch company (think I posted on here about it)... My bank are investigating it, I received some forms in the post I had to fill in so am pleased my bank is being pro active about it, apparently I was not the only one to be "had" by this watch company so beware and check your statements thoroughly, better still don't wait for the statement if you do online banking check your account regularly so you can alert the bank to any unauthorised or dodgy transactions, I have learnt  this lesson the hard way today...

George thank you so much for your kind comments and having confidence in us!  If I do hear anything about it of course I will let you know but they are more likely to contact people directly regarding it

I need to book a transfer from Dalaman to Calis  for September,  should I use A2B, has the problem been resolved

Haven't heard any more bad reports for a while but I'd rather use someone else if I'm honest.  Why take the chance when there are plenty more transfer companies to choose from

What chance are you taking?

If there is a problem with your card it's sorted by the bank, I wonder if Tescos would get a similar "kicking" if they ever had a problem (remembering there still has been no proof it was anything to do with A2B) of a similar nature?

Would you suddenly forsake your favourite & best value option for something more expensive & unknown just because someone else said so?

We didn't actually get a conclusive end story from A2B/Resorthoppa but I tend to agree with that. It can happen anytime and anywhere. You guard your 3 digit code on the back of the card with your life - well, except when you stick it on the plate that brought your restaurant bill for the waiter to take to the till.

My bank (First Direct) saw my card activity as irregular straight away and were on to me to confirm. I had flights, hotels and something else on my card. They simply stopped the card and there was no pain for me, they just accepted without question that I didn't make those transactions. It was a little inconvenient not having the card for a few days while the new one was sent but I just used a different card  

I would use them as much as I would have if this hadn't happened. In fact, I have recently booked 2 lots of return transfers for 2014.

Could they not allow payment on arrival,  although I guess they may be vulnerable for no shows if people changed their plans without informing them.  Am sure I did pay on arrival a few years back with one of the shuttle companies,  but darned if I can remember which one

We don't use this company and it seems a lot of people had to cancel cards after fraud problems.  However, the company we do use, do not ask for money up front.  We pay them when we arrive.
Also we never let a waiter/waitress take our card, they bring the machine to the table.  However, remember the Turkish Restaurant in Aberdeen having a problem with mobile machines and asking Phil to come up to the till with his card to pay.
