I wondered why my Virgin card was being refused yesterday and this morning. Virgin let me know that they were replacing my card about two days after the hacking came to light. I thought it was a little irritating but could see the reasoning.
I was told my old card would work for another two weeks and would be cancelled as soon as I used the new one, which I only received yesterday.
Over the last couple of days I have had my card refused so figured that Virgin had cancelled it early. Went on today to activate the new card to find some See you next Tuesday from the Mansfield area had used my card to buy shoes and clothes. As I don’t shop in Mansfield and I haven’t ordered any clothes or shoes on my card it came as a bit of a shock.
Full marks to Virgin for stopping the card when they spotted unusual activity on my card as it turns out the little scrote had tried the card in a number of shops online since yesterday. Virgin have agreed to refund the items which didn’t really come to that much, so all good there.
Anyone else on here been done?.
This is a first for me.
