Thanks for all your comments, it's nice to know that you all think about these things :boo: , what is more worrying though is that everybody either knows someone or has had this done to themselves. :sad: We don't reply to any scams, not even to take our name of the email list as then they know that it's a genuine address and have got you so to speak. Both ebay and our bank contacted us before we knew anything had happened. Luckily the bank has managed to 'catch' the transactions and had them stopped before they even reach our statement, we won't be charged for anything and if by any chance we do get any overdrawn charges they will all be reimbursed. I do all our banking through internet banking, and certainly won't be stopping because it is so convenient. Ebay have got my bank details because I have sold stuff on there and they need the details for you to be able to do this, but my details could have been taken from any site that I have shopped on in the past and maybe it is just coincidence that ebay are involved - maybe I'm just too optimistic 
Yep, I do have an ebay account. The bank told me that the debit card details that have been used is an old one but is still in date, you know when the expiry date is coming up, well my new card started in 09/04 and the old card finished in 10/04 and it is the old card number that has been used. The old card is still in my desk drawer, and the new card has been updated on ebay so the person must have had the details for a while before being used as I have used the new card for about 4 weeks now, does that make any sense! :shock: I sent an email to ebay asking a few questions and obviously wanting answers and all they have done is sent back an automated reply 
. It's either coincidence that the person has opened an ebay account with my details or they genuinely, somehow, got my details from ebay, I dunno, I don't really know what to think.

It's either coincidence that the person has opened an ebay account with my details or they genuinely, somehow, got my details from ebay, I dunno, I don't really know what to think. This morning I got an email from ebay saying that a new account had been set up with my credit card details, did I know about it? Those of you who have dealings with ebay know that they can be quite erratic with things and emails from them arrive eventually rather than soon. Anyway I thought nothing of it and just mumbled something about ebay being 'bloody slow again, as usual' or words to that effect 
. That was about this morning that I found the email, it had been sent to me at Anyway, at 10am this morning I got a phonecall at work from the bank, special investigations department no less! Conversation went along the lines of 'We are ringing to inform you that last night rather a lot of money was spent from your account. Do you do a lot of betting on the internet?' No, none at all was my reply, why? 'Well, we have to inform you that someone decided to spend £3000 of your money in an hour and half on an internet betting site'. :shock: OMG! So apparently someone in America, they think, has got hold of my debit card details and gone on a spending spree of $1000 transactions, and topped up this betting site and also opened an account on ebay with my debit card details, all in all doing eight transactions. The good news is that the bank believes we haven't done the transactions, as looking back on what we normally spend they can see that we don't bet and are crediting our account back with everything. The bad news is that our account is now on hold for a few days, we can't use the debit cards or draw money or anything without going into the branch to do it and getting authorisation from head office. So we feel like criminals and can't get to or spend our own money while the real criminal is getting away with it because they can't trace who it is. The online betting shop will be getting looked into for accepting an account and not doing proper credit checks and allowing all the deposits, but the police won't be getting involved as apparently the fraud has to be over £5000, and it will be virtually impossible to track the criminal down. I must say though that I am very impressed with the bank, as the last transaction was at 2am when the card was finally not accepted anymore and they got in touch with me at 10am when they discovered what had happened. So please be very careful when shopping or whatever online. At the moment I keep going from feeling very angry that someone has invaded my privacy and ultimately I am paying for it by not being able to access my own bank account, and also feeling like a criminal myself.

'Trick or Treat' - Another Americanism I'd have been happy for them to keep on their own side of the Atlantic.

Couldn't agree more Steve, incidently we have never let our son out to do this or penny for the guy for that matter, it is as people have previously said akin to begging IMO

Blimey ccr, you sound like you collect husbands like I collect wives. You got any swaps?
nah, have only the one husband but had him for long enough, what you want to swap him for? you got a nice fast car there??! :D p.s I love the husband really
Hi, we just sorta waded in aswell. Just saw the door marked 'Forum' one day as I was leaving the chatroom and decided to take a sneaky peaky. Still just paddling at the edges a bit rather than the full blown wading thing, as I'm a bit shy 
, but looking forward to saying 'Hi' to folks at the Notts munch.
I quite like the sound of this group....can anyone join??!! :twisted: :D

My advice is to get to know the members of the Friendly, Unhurried Chronoligically Advanced Swingers group.
Those FUCAS will soon whip you into shape. :D

or even the men may be able to help I have bought some liquid eye liner and am not sure on the best way to apply it without it looking like I've been in the boxing ring, or looking like a panda
Bearing in mind that I don't normally wear make up, I was wondering if one of you lovely people could give me some advice? :boo: All advice gratefully received, thank you.

We're like quite a few people on here and love walking on a crisp autumn morning. Autumn also reminds me of when my son was small and we used to walk through the 'crunchy, munchy leaves'. We also like the smell of the fireworks in the air on bonfire night, for some reason it always makes me want to eat baked potatoes

Music is totally subjective and personal, one mans meat is another mans poison. So with that disclaimer I have to say that the best live act I ever saw (3 times in total) was Earth, Wind and Fire Saw them first in 1982 at the height of their general popularity. Mind Blowing, thats all I can say. Consumate musicians, fantastic vocals and a mega stage show. Todays so-called talent wouldn't be comfortable, even in the shade
Me and Mrs CCR also saw Simply Red a few times. Fantastic. In my view a close 2nd to EWF.
See you at the Notts Munch
