On the BBC news this a.m. there was an infuriating (as ever) item about a gang of about 19 foreign people who had hacked into UK bank accounts and stolen about £6million pounds. They used some form of Zeus Trojan to get passwords.
So many unanswered questions as ever with this sort of dangle a titbit of info news item. I might have to watch Euronews tonight to get a fuller picture!
How many accounts were involved.?
One bank or loads?
Name of bank(s) involved?
How many other cyber scamming thefts of a similar magnitude are going on unreported?
At least i don't need to worry as the Varche UK £millions were spent years ago keeping the Omega roadworthy (ish) ;D ;D ;D

A mate of mine has been done overt twice with seperate accounts but the same bank, £7500 from hid savings and £1800 from his other account, bloody hard work chasing them to get it all back as well.

A few of my friends have been affected by banking scams. But, hey, they will leave their debit cards on view when I visit. ::)

Well, according to an email ive received from some caring foreign solicitor, ive got 5 million pounds waiting for me due to a relative carking it in a plane crash, isnt it nice that some people are honest enough to let you know about these things & not trying to scam you. ;D ;D ;D ;D

Did the plane come down in Nigeria or Romania?

I've been done over twice in the past, the first time about £750 went out of my account and left me high and dry when I was working away from home, and then £500 disappeared a few years after that. The bank reimbursed my money very quickly both times though, to their credit :y
