i came cross this article .which i found rather very hard to swallow. and believe to happen,in such cheekiest ID theft ,
this crook gets a credit card in the Barclay's chief , and chairman,s name
he scammed the chairman,s out of 10000 pound ,by posting as the bank,s chairman.
in such an easy way ,he must be so sure of him self, he rung the call centre and has convinced the staff he was their boss Marcus Agius, surprise to him self , he order a new credit card to sent out, and went to a Barclay's branch and used it to withdraw 10000 pound.,how embarrassment it could be,
its remind me when Anglo-LY wrote about call centres, you are lucky Anglo it was not you.....
with all the security,issue ,and procedures, to fallow mistakes still can be made, but this one is a big mistake , or some body in the call centre who hates the chairman ha ha and try to get even ,
just wonder if this scam happened to a normal customer will they repaid the money straight away? as the chairman got his 10000 pound back in the same day.
so if you so rich be aware not to be a victim of a cheeky crook.

anything can happen here, no one is safe.
regarding credit card fraud, few years ago I got a bill from barclay card for about £2500, and the product that I supposedly bought was rolls of silk!!
I phoned them up and told them that I have no need for rolls of silk and that they should check where these rolls delivered. eventually they told me the order was made by phone using my details but giving a different address for delivery, after few months they credited my account and admitted it was their fault for approving the purchase, it had happened again to me few times, its a risk you take here but they do always credit you once you prove you didnt make the payment.
lol well it goes to show how well protect we are, I read about this in a newspaper and I think that it was a good thing, as maybe this time they will take things more seriously ... plus a lot of these things happen but they keep it under wrap

thanx alot for visiting and passing by my blog, realy appreciate ur comments ,quite right its happening now days every where, but its getting serious .to happen to some body on the top its a joke ,humilating,i think its the tip of the iceberg,
i think identity theft is a crime that increasingly become more common...In the age of internet and free access to all needed information ,our privacy ,lives ,and money at risk...
