£9k put on it in 4 days. They changed my address and everything. Bank has been good and will replace money but just so angry about how easy it is for people to do this.

crikey, any idea how they managed it?

Poor you. How did they manage to change your address? Don't you usually have to produce ID in the bank branch to do this?

Keep an eye on your other account in case you've had your identity stolen.

No idea, my last transactino was a ferry ticket, then al hell let lose in Manchester. Lloyds fraud dept are looking into it but I guess you can do anything on a computer these days. Funnily enough was listening to R4 the other day and the programme was about identity fraud and for $50 he got 5 names and addresses, card numbers, DOB, passwords etc. He phoned up the people of the info he had and they were shocked about how it had happened.
