Has anybody had this recently?

I had near enough £50 taken out of my account from Amazon last Thursday and i definitely never bought anything on that day.

The last thing i bought was a Wireless router for roughly £20 which only got delivered (after two weeks of waiting) after i had asked where the f*** it was.

Went into the bank today, filed it as fraud and cancelled my card.

The guy told me not to use Amazon at the moment because there had been a fair amount of people who had money taken from their account from Amazon that they hadn't spent (his brother included).

Absolutely fuming as I'm skint enough as it is. :grr:

Also, anybody know what the chances are of getting this money back?

I have had similiar things happen to me, not with Amazon though. I reckon you will get your money back but it may take months. The bank will have to investigate it. I take it you have tried to get in touch with Amazon.

I regularly buy my course books from there.

Might be time to check the accounts.
Cheers for the headsup, and I hope it all gets sorted.
