I received one of those phishing emails this morning saying my mastercard secure password had been changed. I thought this was the usual spam so ignored it.
Something didnt look right tho, the email looked professional. Checked the send to address and it was my official one I have for things like this. Made a call to the number on the email, still slightly suspicious!
It turns out someone had reset my my Mastercard secure password this morning, and then bought cinema tickets. Instantly passed through to Fraud, card now cancelled.
I think I'm lucky, the fraud was for a total of £8.20! Still annoyned though. Now trying to work out where it was cloned and how did they reset the password???
Only plus side is that I caught it early, and I wish I could see their face when go to collect the tickets and the card wont work as its been cancelled!!
