OK, that meant that we had to wait for 10 days for new cards, but that's life! Never all the subsequent hassle, not least in terms of all the subscriptions that you'ld forgotten about where this card had been used ....
, and which continued to 'come out of the woodwork' over the succeeding months 
At the time, our reaction was sanguine, on the basis that, sooner or later, you're bound to experience such a situation.
That was my reaction until a few hours earlier today, when I received an automated telecon from Barclaycard questioning the last 5 debits on the cards, totalling something like £2,500 over the last 7 or 8 days, all of which were fraudulent.
A subsequent telecon with a 'real person' resulted in the info that the fraudulent transactions stretched back over a longer period, and a total of something like £4,500.
Hopefully, all will be sorted out and all these fraudulent transactions cancelled, but you can well imagine that we're now a bit more than leary about www based credit card transactions; or credit card transactions of any type at supermarkets (and their petrol stations!), etc., given all the recent publicity regarding the illegal 'capture' of card details at such outlets.
We're less than impressed, obviously, based on previous reassurances from the credit card company over how quickly their software picks up questionable transactions !
Yes, of course, we're aware of the benefit of always looking for 'https' payment websites.
But does that now mean that we shouldn't buy anything on line unless the website involved has 'https protection' ?
