| 1454469 | 2018-10-14 21:55:00 | Today I noticed a transaction: 11 Oct 2018 PRESTIGIA *3DCBC* DORSET 258.29 EURO at a Conversion Rate* of 0.5578 (NZ$463.02) $463.02 Lucky I use Visa so card has been cancelled and refund process begun. People tell me oh I use Debit card cause I don't like credit. But I always used the credit card as a debit card - but with visa you get this protection. If I had a debit card and saw that I'd be stuffed. I would guess it's a hack off some website where they got my details....perhaps not, but I'm fairly sure it is, haven't bought anywhere dodgy...just the usual places have my card. Amazon, Book Depository, Countdown etc. Anyway....here you go people, this is why you pay that yearly fee on credit cards (not interest). It's form of insurance. |

| 1454471 | 2018-10-15 05:50:00 | I use a visa debit for all online transactions, I put the amount into the account to cover the purchase and the rest of the time the account sits with a balance of maybe $2 to make sure its kept alive. A scammer cannot take money from a visa debit card if the account is empty | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1454472 | 2018-10-15 19:49:00 | A scammer cannot take money from a visa debit card if the account is empty Good point. But most people don't use their debit that way. Mu son for instance, it's his eftpos, payday, they'd do well..... |
