Just to warn you all, If you get a phone call from a credit card company claiming to be refunding you as there has been a mistake on your account, hang up.
There is a dodgy scam going around and they sound pretty professional.They have the cc number, but they are after the last 3 didgets on the back. Nigels mate was caught out with it.

Hi Lucyanne, thanks for the warning.
In fact, today i had a phone call, and when i answered, it was an automated thingy, saying i was owed money in bank charges. I remembered what you said, and hung up.
The thing is, ive never been charged by my bank, so i knew it was dodgy.
So a big thanks
Kas xx

Kas, surely if it was genuine your bank would write to you not use a recording. Good for you for hanging up. Did you phone your bank to check though?

Exactly Lucyanne,
no i didnt phone, it didnt say it was my bank, itjust said that many people were owed money from bank charges, and to ring this number to find out more, (at that point i hung up).

I will, however keep a close eye on my statements
