Warning to all my friends - be careful with your personal details.
I've been a victim of professional fraudsters.
First my credit card on Wednesday - which was caught before they could take any money, but also my bank account, and they managed to wipe me out.
How? Good question - they got in touch with my mobile phone provider, redirected my mobile no to another number, then used phone banking to make a transfer. When the bank phoned to verify they were redirected to the fraudsters number. The only way I found out was that confirmation texts still came through to my mobile.
Be vigilant people - whoever did this managed to find a lot of information about me to pull this off.
As that happened while I was on holiday - it didn't make for a good week off
