Answer 1

First of all take your statement into the bank & dispute any transactions not made by you & get the card stopped!

Apologies if you have already done this, but you didn't say!

Answer 2

My debit card was cloned last year (I think I know where) and around July, I received a call from HSBC asking if I had made any purchases of computer stuff in the South of England.

They were querying this purchase, along with 2 debits to Oxfam. I told them that I don't pay anything to Oxfam, and that I very rarely travel any further south than Leicester.

You must always ensure that your debit card NEVER goes out of your sight. There is equipment available that is able to scan your card's magnetic strip, and I'm not sure about the chip.

Please, when you type out questions on these forums, don't use text language as your first answerer has noted.

I have typed 'never' in capitals to emphasise the importance of that word.

This is an issue that you need to take up with Tesco and your bank.

cant read you question, too much slang.
