system
works but I wonder if they ever track down who was doing it!
I have been selling and buying over the Internet for many years and
have had numerous credit card problems with both buyers and my cards.
I moved all my transactions to PayPal a couple of years ago and
haven't had a problem since.

Tesco doesn't do PayPal and neither does the company from which I was
buying
some wine. I've used online buying for years, too - barely set foot in a
shop last Christmas - but this is the first bad experience I've had.

In all the years I have seen credit card fraud - it has NEVER been anyone at
Tesco!
It's always SHELL garages and some smaller retailers. One lot of garages
were
allowing the local junkies to use stolen cards, others traded them.
For any fraud, report it to the police and refuse to take no for an answer
if your
local station has officers neglecting their duty by being lazy.
