And it wasn't me!

 

Is there anything I can do to protect myself as I don't think I have been careless with my CC details?

cancel your cards, you dont know what other details they might have

Yea cancel them and get new ones, maybe even safer with another bank

Do you think that is just a coincedence that my bank has a call centre in india and the cards number was used there?

 

They are sending another card, but do you recommend cancelling my other cards, with different instituions?

dont seem like coincedence to me? maybe someone got your details from the call centre? i would defo cancel the card and new card and card number would be sent with diff expirys dates and diff security code at back - nothing is safe these days! u cant trust the employees at the bank!

I am usually cautious and try to be vigilant with my card details, I suppose it is all part of life's varied tapistry :)

I had the same happen to me a couple of months ago some arse hole in Lithuania tried to charge a few hundred on the card, then there were several other attempts made the following day in France.

 

fortunately the bank put a block on the card before any money was taken out. it's just irrritating having to wait a week without access to any cash.

 

shortly after this I read in the paper that all of the local shell garages had been targetted by fraudsters copying details. a small group was arrested for it so hopefully there'll be no more problems.
