Credit card scammer - This weekend in France (LFG/Folembray Trip) Check your bank accounts guys!

Hi - this was posted in Sussex just so I thought I put it out on Seloc chat as its important.

One of the guys on the LFG & Folembray trip has had his card scammed for €600 either from the Eurotunnel shops or the petrol station near the Hotel. Worth checking your accounts to make sure that you are safe! Wankers!

Cross post from SELOC thread here. Sounds like it might have been a Eurotunnel cash machine. Worth checking your bank accounts.

My card has also been scammed to the tune of £120, it was done an hour after we filled up at the euro tunnel petrol station, after we got off the train check your banks guys we all filled up there.

Hang on, didn't you say it did something funny with your card...? You thought you hadn't paid. What does it say on your statement??

Sh!t. Sorry to hear that Ali. Fecking robbing b4stards. Not only do they fleece us on the exchange rate they rob our bank accounts as well.

That was at the next one, according to my reciept we paid for petrol at the eurotunnel station at 15.30 and the money was taken at 14.20 ish so that was before we got to the next station right??

I think Ali and Lauren will agree with me on this on, but provins is not a nice place at night. Fooking random french people making out they can speak better english than me

[Crazyfrog (Fab)]

I filled up at the Tesco Folkestone before leaving, and refilled at the Folkestone Total just after we left the train when we got back to the UK , everywhere else in France I used Euros to avoid this, checked my card and so far no scams

I like to do my bit for Anglo-French relations, although I did draw the line at that guy trying to kiss me.

I actually remember taking some of those photos, but I left out the really dodgy ones to protect the innocent.

[MartinS]

I checked and it seems someone tried to get £120 but didnt manage it. Martin s ps My fave picture is the vx's on all 3 lanes of the autoroute, how quiet were they!

Why is my jumper on your leg Ali??

[VIX]

Great pics folks! Sorry to hear about the ATM/credit card problems. As I'll be heading out through the tunnel next week to Croix/Abbeville, can you say precisely where the problems occured?

[AliM]

Why is my jumper on your leg Ali??

I dunno you know, but i look really offended by it lol

Vix, I think it was the first petrol station just as you come of the tunnel. The £120 has been refunded to my account today

Hi AliM, thanks for that. Glad you got the refund.
