Accidental crime...

NC, because I have become an inadvertent criminal.

This sounds unlikely but it true and I would like some advice and insight.

I was out today with a friend, lunch, galleries, bit of shopping. Tapping away merrily with my card.

My husband met me at the station to pick me up and I said I needed to go to the supermarket to get something and he asked what I'd been paying with all day because he had my card in his pocket.

We'd been away at the weekend and he'd been using my card because that was the card we had on us, I have a premium banking product and my card is very distinctive. I'd checked that I had my card in my holder before I went out today because I knew We'd both been using it at the weekend. Saw it was in my holder and have been tapping away all day.

The card I had in my holder and have been merrily using all day, is not my card. It belongs to a man I've never heard of. The only solution I can see is that I picked his identical card up that he left on a table and I assumed it was my card.

I have been spending a stranger's money all day. Shall I just phone the bank? Won't I look like a criminal?

TL;DR. I have accidentally spent some blokes money all day. I don't know what to do!

I want to say

And then will end this.

That the fraud team that wanted to speak to me did not open until 8am.

That is all.

It was obviously not a fraud. But they had to check.

It did happen.

No. You’ve been a good sport. But let’s be clear it’s a made up story

You’re clearly not so premium that your bank call centre and fraud team have restricted hours. You? Premium lil you was kept waiting. How gauche

This comment is clear nonsense.

'Plotholes'

'Achieve'

'Bollox'

'Scenario'

You're the one that's making up a 'Scenario'.

I just told you something that had happened.

To me.

It was quite interesting.

An interesting thing happened.

End.

I back her comment 100 percent.

I think ite shocking they didn't deploy staff just for you!

Thank you for the amusing thread, I admire your tenacity & prolific postings. Love a bit of fiction. The faux riposte and all that

ChinChinDarlings · 31/03/2024 00:52

Fine.

Mea culpa!

What do you want?

Flesh?

I’m many things . Silly, no. Kept waiting by a call centre, no
as I said I have 24/7 banking and a named account manager. Immediate response to any query. But you’d know that, being all premium too?

You’re somewhat irascible? Has someone stirred your martini? Tell me about this venue where exclusive bankcards sit about on tables waiting to be purloined by museum loving WAG

Zone2NorthLondon · 31/03/2024 02:03

Which bit are you googling? Can I help😉
