I trust no one who calls me from any type of utility, credit card or cable company. If I didn't initiate the call, then I assume they are scammers. Thank you for the reminder!

I hope you can speak to your credit card people and maybe have an insurance to claim this back. Banks & credit card companies will never call you. If they do they will ask for your security questions. Always say you are hanging up and call them back. Be careful of text too Darren…. I’m so sorry this happened to you. Be vigilant folks!

Happened to me a week before Christmas 😢 they called me , pretended to be from my bank , just like you😮 he went through the motions and told me about the alleged fraudulent activity on my account , and said my card must be cancelled! I had a call the following day from my actual bank asking if I had transferred £3500 to another bank account , I said no and they started the process of retrieving the money , I got scammed , which I did get back . Like you Darren I felt like a total idiot 😢

Block anyone who rings you about fraud or says they are calling about your bank details etc. Keep it that simple. Do not respond. Sorry to hear it happened to you. You have done a positive thing in making everyone aware. I heard on radio 4 recently of a highly educated man and his friend who did this for a living and admitted that they had no sense of consciousness at all. This particular man ended up in prison and then admitted when he had time to think,he realised how cruel and selfish he had been. Now he helps people who have been victims of fraud.

Oh no...yeah, I hang up if it's someone I don't know...if it's the bank or my credit card, I'm even more wary. I know it was by impulse that you did what he said, because you believed it was someone from the company you have your card with, BUT, never ever do what they say, when it comes to "accept" or "decline"...you have to always assume the worst these days & suspect a scammer, especially if they say, "hit the accept". I'm so sorry this happened to you DJ...the last thing you needed was another "hit", from life. Please stay safe & remember about those sails!!♥

Disgusting folk. I always try to remember if they called me then it’s likely a scam. However, they play on the fact that they will catch people off the radar as it’s hard to be alert all the time. Sorry you’ve been so unfortunate this time - I’m sure the banks/finance companies could put a better system of security in place but they just don’t want to spend the money

@neilboulton9813 6 месяцев назад

Thanks for the re-enforcement of the warning Darren. We just need to ensure however convincing that if they contact us we do not give them voluntarily any security information that they should know or click on anything they send through. They completely play on the fact that they are the legitimate fraud department preventing you from being scammed and it is incredibly sophisticated. As there is information being traded by people probably existing or former employees in these companies in your case Revolut confirming you have one of their cards.

@lloydbrock2711 6 месяцев назад

Good advice DJ. If anyone thinks they'll never be scammed.......I'm a former copper, who worked dealing with fraud cases. I got scammed via PayPal. My mates had a field day when they heard that! Luckily it wasn't a massive amount of money and my bank refunded the money immediately. These people are very cunning. Be very wary of anyone that phones you. If there's dodgy activity concerning your finances, you'll be the one contacting the bank etc, not the other way round.

Sorry to hear you got scammed mate but so did my brotherin law a few weeks ago through a call from what he thought was his bank.. luckily it wasn't his main bank account but he still lost £300 and he's pretty clued up like you..but my advice to anyone don't ever do any online banking and don't even have a contactless card because if you lost your contactless card and you don't realise for a few days or maybe a week or so someone could drain your bank account out

@MegaVector2011 6 месяцев назад

No one will ever call you from your bank. If you or anyone makes a suspect transaction on your bank account they will cancel the transaction & leave it up to you to pursue it. This is a golden rule, but I understand scams are getting more sophisticated. Thanks for highlighting the issue.

@lancecox2963 6 месяцев назад

Hi Darren John. Sorry to hear you were scammed. Recently I checked my credit card and found around ten debits totally near $780.00 over a period of three days to Uber eats. The first two were over a $100.00 each. Spoke to the credit card section and asked why the debits were not flagged being over $100.00. Still waiting for an explanation but I did get the full amount refunded. Took about two weeks.

@bonobo2go 6 месяцев назад

Back to basics! Always set up security. If a bank rings back thank them for the call but say you'll ring them back on the number you have. Always have 2 step verification on for everything you can! I pay for ANYTHING online using a card I get a text with a code I have to give the bank for the transaction to get the item. PITA I know....but it's the safest way. No idea what this revolute thing is. Now you know don't get scammed again!

@ThePensta81 6 месяцев назад

It can happen to anyone. My only suggestion would be to call your bank/provider and cancel that card yourself and order a new one if you haven't already. I know its a pain but clearly someone somewhere has access to it so I'd be worried about that one moving forward. I had someone over here use my details to get their own credit card and go on a shopping trip then I got a bill in the mail. I had to go into the bank personally to cancel it and go through the fraudulent process. I didn't have to pay for anything but was a major inconvenience as it took half a day to sort. They are getting super clever nowdays.

@DarrenJohn 6 месяцев назад

Indeed they are.
