Scam/Fraud
28 Sep 2023
Apparently unauthorised use of a debit card, never made this payment before... £300 for Amazon and £1100 for an international payment. Very strange as managed to get both of my officer numbers and called them consecutively. Obviously doesn't declare which bank but strange to have called both numbers.
