that there are so many dishonest people in the world preying on others!
My daughter, away at uni in Swansea UK, discovered last night that her card details have been used in the Far East to withdraw 3,000 HKD from her account. this means she has had nearly £300 taken out of her account. Luckily we were on the phone when she looked at her account online and so she immediately called to report it! they cancelled her card and a new one will be sent but this could take a week!! She has £10 in her purse and will have to borrow from a friend until she gets the new card!
It makes me very sad to think this is the kind of world we live in. She knows a few students this has happened to recently so it seems an ATM they use has been tampered with. She has been told to go to the bank and fill in a form to get her money back so hopefully she will be reimbused but the fact that this can happen is quite alarming and makes you suspicious of everyone around you, especially in a city.
So...................take care everyone and check your account everyday if you can!!
