Unauthorised CC "check" from Webshots.com
Online CC fraud, this time — I got a call from AIB's Card Security Team asking me (after proper corroboration) to confirm some recent activity. Among the transactions was a card check from a company calling themselves "webshots.com" (presumably this crowd?) — not actually taking any money, just checking to see if a later transaction would attract attention, I guess.
I stress that I've no evidence of any wrongdoing on the part of webshots.com, whoever they are (no contact details on their website, just "contact us" forms), but AIB have in any case cancelled both cards on the account and are issuing replacements.
