 Poster: A snowHead
|
abc, My card getting cloned though had nothing to with calling in advance. Calling in advance worked on my two accounts, so I guess I will wait till the baddies catch up with me again...
Life is hassle. Good night!

You could always just mask your pin when you enter it....

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

| Lorenzo, when my bank/credit card ring me, they have to go through a security password and pin check before the conversation goes any further. I think this is standard practice... |
Do they answer YOUR questions or are you just giving them answers to theirs? If the former, then that is a good system and the way it should be. If the latter it might seem secure, until you think about it! It is usually the latter in my experience.

Lorenzo, isn't it more important whether you have called them or they you?

Yes, I said that in my earlier post. No problem if you call them, but these guys are calling us, and asking for security info. My CC company have done it several times.

Yes. I do. Was actually thinking it had been cloned when I had entered PIN in a hotel lobby that has CCTV [paranoid, moi!?]. It had been used/cloned in the US of A where I seem to recall all that matters is to sign...so chip and pin was NBG.

Lorenzo, it's a two-way thing. They give me a PIN code and I have to answer with two digits/characters from my password...

I always have to advise both abbey and RBS Mastercard when I'm travelling abroad. Both those accounts have been the subject of fraud (foreign) in the past so I think it's reasonable of the bank to ask me to do this, and as others have said two easy phone calls are better than the hassle of being ripped off again.
