It's so frustrating that nothing seems to be done about these fraudsters. We keep handing over the numbers but nothing changes!

They didn’t say which bank the card was with, so it’s obviously a scam.6 yearsI got a call from some sort of robotic woman’s voice saying there was a charge on my card, but they never even said which bank it was from. The charge was supposedly £600 and from abroad. Sounds fishy to me. These scammers really should be tracked down and put away.
