Not sure if this should go here, so change it if needed!
I was checking my bank statement online earlier and noticed that two £15.00 payments had gone out to o2 (who i have no dealings with)
So obviously i sent my bank a secure message online about it etc
Anyway i have been looking around the web and have noticed this has happened to alot of people over the past 2 or so years, quite a few people have had it happen to them in the past couple of days.
So would prob be a good idea to check your statements!
From what i can work out after reading some stories is that the fraudsters make these smallish transactions to 'test' the card, to see if it's live.
I'm also starting to think that shopto DID leak CC info and tried to fob me off by saying they didn't, just to keep me as a customer.
