Australia: News and Views

If like I you live in Perth,WA - you have probably heard of the latest credit card fraud. Its actually EFTPOS cards as well and doesn’t effect just ATMs This is a new technology which has seen over $100,000 stolen from West Australian affected  fast food outlets and customers paying by card. The police and the banks have been coy about saying exactly where the thefts are occuring - which is pretty crap as far as I am concerned. So here is the current list which is circulating naming some McDonalds, Coles, Peak and BP service stations which have been affected. There is no need to shopping at these locations - just pay by cash for the next week or two.

Meanwhile you should be doing the right thing by regularly checking your online statements. If there is a problem you won’t be out of pocket but you need to report it ASAP to your bank and they may have to reissue your cards and account which is nuisence.
