He's only a young fellow, barely out of college and was going to withdraw some money from an ATM only to find that he didn't have the funds.
Checked his balance online and discovered that over €700 had been removed from his current account leaving him with the grand total of €20.
Frantic calls to the bank followed and it transpired that his laser card had been used in an online purchase. The bank say that they don't know what the purchase is and won't know until "it comes through". That sounds fairly wishy washy to me. Meanwhile, my brother has enough cash in his pocket to last him a week so he's hoping it gets sorted by then.
Has this happened to anybody here?
What happened? Did they get their money back?
Does the fact that the skimmer used it for an online transaction mean that they'll be able to catch them?
