The same happened to a friend of mine, cranberry. She checks hers daily now.
She said they started by taking tiny amounts to test the water and see if it was noticed, before they went for more.

For every pound you invest in PBs there is a one in 26,000 chance of a win..

Apparently, they tried earlier in the day and failed but tried again later and were successful..

Swines, aren't they. I can understand you being upset, so would I have been.
I had my bag stolen a couple of years ago, and they got my purse with all my cards in it, plus some cash I had just withdrawn for my Mum.
The bank's fraud people told me within 3 minutes they had tried it in a nearby cash machine, but thank God they kept getting 1 digit of my pin wrong, thank goodness.

I hate, with a passion, thieves and liars...

Re: Do you check your bank accounts regularly?
I check my account online every day or two. I have had my bank card cloned a few times (not from online purchases I might add) and each time, the bank spotted the unusual activity within hours if not minutes of it happening, and blocked the account pending checking with me. I have every confidence in them, and they have reimbursed the money promptly.
