didint get my statement which i normally get around the 15 so i phoned absa and checkt my last 3 purchases , someone used my card and bought something

R 4322 fokn hell jeez on the 17 June 09 , some emf direct details , absa said they cant tell where this is until the money moves into a bank account , which takes 5 days from purchase, so now have to wait ....im guessing its shopto....

ps : anybody know how to delete shopto account????

If the money hasn't moved into a bank account - can't they stop it?

My credit card has a HUGE limit - so I make sure to check it daily.

i was under the impression that my card had a R 1000 limit in place so that i dont over spend lol and for fraud so i was shocked when i heard this....absa said they cant stop it because the merchant can still get the money etc they say they have to see where the money goes and then open investigation and to see if i never purchase this etc....

Ai no Jakez Not you too. What is this? Fraud season?
Something mighty fishy going on. Sorry this has happened to you, and I seriously hope they can sort it out ASAP.

Hope you can get it sorted Jakez

A good thing to have is those sms notifications when a transaction goes through your account. That way you can act quickly if something suspicious happens. But then again, for it to be helpful you need to recieve the notification immediately, not a few days after the actual transaction (looks at Absa).

Just to confirm, are most of these fraud cases on this site have shopto as a common denominator?

Sorry to hear Jakez, starting to get out of hand this CC fraud. I hope you manage to sort stuff out.

funny thing is that when i got my card awhile back i told them i wanted this and the rep said i will have it , but they never give me the service i was to lazy to go back and activate it lol lesson learnt
