SirusDviruS Posted October 10, 2012 Author Share Posted October 10, 2012 Phoned my bank, they put me through to wonga who confirmed it was fraud (and didn't apologise). Back to the bank who stopped my card and refunded me. Then phoned the police and got a crime number. Spent about 45 mins of my mobile bill on the phone when I should of been working and can't access my own money for a week, but..... I got my money back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodgemonkey Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Just had wonga clean my bank account too...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 I assume this is because the "fraudster" is getting your details, uses Wonga to borrow money to their own account but uses yours to make the repayment? It would be interesting to know how they are getting peoples details so easily, there must be a serious secuirty flaw somewhere for people to get access to this many peoples account details?

The Dark Knight Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 I also had wonga remove just under a grand from my account, was straight on the phone to the bank who directed me to the fraud department who gave me a full refund within 24hrs, my bank also advised me to phone Wonga too.
