the store where the first transaction took place has confirmed by e-mail to me that they have reviewed their chip and pin transactions for the day concerned and they have no record of a transaction for the amount involved.
If you have their final response then you have nothing to lose in going to the FSO.I wonder is it worth the trouble of contacting the FSO.

Researchers said cards could effectively be cloned by exploiting the security flaw

A vulnerability in the widely used chip and pin payment system has been exposed by Cambridge University researchers.
Cards were found to be open to a form of cloning, despite past assurances from banks that chip and pin could not be compromised.
Poor implementation of cryptography methods were behind the flaw, researchers said.
They accused some banks of "systematically" suppressing information about the vulnerabilities.
The team's research was presented at a cryptography conference in Leuven, Belgium, on Tuesday.
The paper said despite chip and pin being in use for over a decade, it was only recently "starting to come under proper scrutiny from academics, media and industry alike".
