Identity Fraud
When you draw money out from a cash machine you may check that no one is looking over your shoulder, but how much attention do you pay to the actual machine?
Recently a person noticed that the cash machine outside a Tesco sote in Stroud, Gloucestershire had been tampered with. A device was fixed above the slot where you put your card. The device reads the magnetic strip and steals the card details. You are completely unaware that your card detials have been stolen as you can continue to use your card. You may not realise that you have been a victim of identity fraud until your bank statement comes through your letterbox.
According to recent statistics the average amount taken from an account using a cloned card is £1,800, but the figure can be much higher. If you believe you are a victim of identiy fraud, obtain a copy of your credit file and visit What if it happens to you?
