I've spent most of it chasing up fraudulent use of my card which still hasn't been resolved but has been blocked.
I last used it in June in America.
Be extra vigilant everyone specially this time of year.

That's why when I travel I use a pre-paid credit card in the local currency and over here I use a similar pre-paid card for internet shopping - at least if they get used fraudulently - the offender can only spend whatever you have loaded on to them

Staffs Col it's my prepay card that is the problem and there is very little on it because I use it when I am abroad.
Good idea with having one for on line shopping, I'm going to be doing that thanks :-D

We have one C card that only has about £500 credit allowed on it. We use that on line. We had it stopped once when somebody tried to draw £7000 on it,, then two more amounts down to £700. We happened to try and check the credit card bill, we were abroad at the time and the password was refused. When we phoned them they told us it had been fraudulently used and was blocked. We were really pleased how it worked. The only place it had been used in the previous few months was Amazon.
