My company has recently been hit by a wave of credit card fraud committed largely, but not solely by people with eastern European names.
We have now been told that we cannot accept any cards that have an eastern European name. (it doesn't clarify whether this is bank name or persons name tho I think it is surname.)
Firstly is it even legal to discriminate in this way? And how do I gauge whether someone is British with an eastern European name or non British?
Secondly if I take a payment that turns out to be fraudulent can my company demand I repay it or deduct it from my wages?
