I had my credit AND debit cards cloned recently. The bank caught the credit card being cloned. They were tying to phone me all day, and automagically suspended the account. The debit card – I noticed that when I was about £800 down on my current account. That was eventually refunded.
Now I know how it happened.
At the time, I had my suspicions about where it could’ve been, but I put it down to possibly untrustworthy staff stealing information off their systems. Apparently not. It was probably hacked, sold, and then used elsewhere.
