I got another ' warning of credit card payment email last week. Last four numners nowhere near mine. Deleted.
Grandson, or rather me, has noticed 2 direct debits on his account which he says he never made. Fortunately he had no money in to cover them, I googled them both, one is a known scam company, MobileID. Seems they take less than a tenner a month and hope nobody notices. The other is a firm called Harlands who process payments to Gym and Leisure companies. He goes to the gym every day but swears he has no standing order or DD. I said to let me sort it but it's head in the sand and just change account and bank......his first months wages are due on Friday and he still hasn't done anything. Fortunately he hasn't given the firm he works for his bank details yet. He is always short of money so a couple of weeks ago I gave him a card on a spare current account I have and put a ton in for him....all drawn out the same day !
I've pleaded with him to get his wages paid into this account, the money will be safe and we can keep an eye on the account on-line rather that wait weeks for the paper statements on his account. I do hope he will.
The naivety of youth !
