Our credit card has been hacked :evil: :evil: Two attempts made on it today, card blocked now, hope the new one arrives before we go on Friday morning. Trying to look on the bright side and be glad our bank is on the ball, but it is sooooooo annoying :x :x :x I was told it would be in the post tomorrow, if it doesn't arrive we have a real problem as you have to produce one when getting on the ship, but we will deal with that if we have to.

No Jen, she said it could be from an online purchase made up to six months ago. The first one was a closed down furniture store in California, which was the one the bank contacted us about, and the bank blocked the second one which claimed to be Lloyds Bank car insurance. We are very careful about buying stuff online, but who knows how they get the details :|

A few years ago now we were done for £300 spent online in the USA according to our bank who refunded us within 24 hrs ,but when I asked if they would pursue the matter the reply was that it wasn't worth doing!!! :shock:

That's a total pain, Osc - I do hope you get your replacement card through OK.
