The Amex chargebacks person told me they would close the old account and issue a new account number straight away. I didn't really have any choice in the matter, though I don't disagree with them. Fortunately, Amex have seperate card numbers for each card on the account - as all the standard orders are on my card number, I didn't have to worry about changing all of these. They got the new card out very quickly too (2 or 3 days).oysterman said:If they've got her details (whoever they are), they'll use them again. It's happened to me and the repitition of the crime is really frustrating - it makes opening your monthly statement even more nerve-wracking than usual.
Should you not consider pre-emptively changing your account number?
I have visions of some lady in AIB lecturing you with 'I told you last time not to wasting your money on that bloody gambling, and here you go again....'Brendan said:I don't know what this says about me, but the last time they called was 1981 to ask if some cash withdrawals in Las Vegas were genuine. It would have been a bit late by then as the cash had been withdrawn, and was long gone!
Amazingly enough, no. At least not in my case. AIB didn't seem too bothered and, in fact, permitted a similar transaction from the same one in Vilnius that was "under investigation" for the first fraud I'd reported. (It's all on the thread .)bond-007 said:Is it not standard practice to kill the account number and issue a new number if being used for fraud?
