Woke up with a rusty machette in my head yesterday. I don't think I need to say anymore about that!

I had a look at the state (miserable) of my bank account online, only to discover that some cheating little fucker has emtpied my bank account and left me £850 in the red. I cancelled my cards and ordered new ones. The strange thing is that I have all my cards. The money was taken from ATMs in strange areas of London that I have never even heard of. After some research on the web (bless Google's kind, fibreoptic soul) - the scam is quite common, people (cheating little fuckers) are using micro-cameras and card readers installed on ATMs to get PINs and card details.

Tor told me of 2 people at work that it happened to, one of the ladies lost £1000. One of my colleagues had £3000 pilfered from his account. Both of them got the money back, which is encouraging to hear. All they had to do was provide alibis and sign a form giving the police persmission to investigate, which is fine. If I don't get the money reimbursed, I will be quite plainly fucked! Apparently Barclays are well aware of it, as it seems to be particular to Barclays cards.
