Fraud Problem

[trev]

Hi,

I really hope this is unrelated, however I have just applied for my free Gamefair ticket from Basc, and instantly had problems with fraudulent payments going out of my account to an Events company based in the Netherlands.
Basc have been informed.

Hope you get it sorted mate. These fraud "problems" are getting too frequent nowadays!

You dont enter any credit/debit information for your complimentary tickets do you?

Just enter your membership to register for the tickets.

I think you’re correct. In which case it’s the BASC system that’s been compromised.

Hi,
No card numbers you are correct. It does ask for Membership number, Mobile number, email, and your address.

Get onto the bank too- I had it last year after signing up for a particular shooting insurance. Not BASC. And it Nothing to do with the original company, Bank said fraudsters can hack into transactions online . Had months off them attempting to get money out. In the end they did. Spoke to bank who refunded the missing money. Mine was going into some pizza express premises. Bank would not tell me location. Just refunded the money. .

All done thanks, card stopped.
Two lots of pending transactions stopped by the bank.

(Just a thought) - If the bank knew where the money had been "transferred" to but would not tell you then why did the bank not pass that information on to the Police Fraud Squad so that the Police could take action against these thieving fraudsters?

Not sure- but they knew where money has gone as it showed the account name and number. They gave me the money back, when I asked who had taken the money they closed the incident down , once the bank don’t want to speak to you , there not much you can do, however since then I have not had any issues at all.
