I have had it happen to me twice now. Once they booked a cruise and a flight, the 2nd time it was used to signup for broadband, some old skool harcore records and an MP3 player. Both times my credit card company sorted it out in a few days with no grief apart from Pipex chasing me for non payment of a broadband bill for a connection they nev er installed. That was dealt with in one phonecall.

I've had fraud happen to me a few times, but nothing major. Biggest amount ever stolen was £40 Virgin Mobile top up. Not surprised though because my bank account is ---- and I hardly ever have money in there so ---- 'em.

Happened to me too, HSBC were on top of it though, even John Lewis helped out. Someone was trying to buy £2000 worth of TV/Audio equipment from JL, they thought it was a bit dodgy and called me up. Needless to say I wasn't buying it, I was asleep :)

But the best bit, they signed up for a family tree website...... under MY name.... Riiiiiiiight.
