Unusual bank withdrawals all to girls names

Toryjane · 06/03/2023 15:41

My husband does our online banking ,he was away last week and we had an issue with our bank so I logged in. I have found lots of withdrawals ,I know nothing off & they mostly have single girls names beside them ! Does anyone have any idea what they are ,my mind is racing thinking my husband has been cheating .I can’t find anything online ,I’ve posted a few examples but there at least 10 other girls names showing similar withdrawals .he already says I’m paranoid but I have caught him on dating sites ,messaging escorts in the past .I thought this behaviour was behind until I found these .

Try some triangulation.

Where were you and where was he on Monday 10th October when Maria got £900 (NINE HUNDRED POUNDS) of your money (Could also have been the weekend before and the transactions only went through on the monday)

I was thinking that too, those payments may have been made on Saturday and/or Sunday, but not gone through until Monday.

Difficult 5 months later, but can you work out if you were both home that weekend? Other bank account transactions might give you a clue.

My money's on cam girls.

Rainbowbub22 · 06/03/2023 16:45

100% escorts and cam girls. Sorry OP I know how it feels, I have experienced the same thing myself in the past. If you can access any email addresses he may use check them for Adult Work. Very sorry for you

RadioactiveWear · 06/03/2023 16:47

A quick google brought up loads of Eastern European individuals. Seems like he’s onto someone online from that way.

MermaidEyes · 06/03/2023 16:47

My money's on cam girls or something similar. I knew someone who regularly paid a drug dealer and a lot of them use PayPal as an extra layer of protection between them and the bank. Also agree with pp, leopards don't change their spots.

Men cannot have some fun these days.

HelpNeeded7 · 06/03/2023 16:50

Crikey!

Put a stop on his card and message him saying you think we have fraud on his card and so have stopped it. (Send screen shot)

TheChosenTwo · 06/03/2023 16:51

Echo what another poster advised, tell him you’ve called the bank as you think something has gone wrong and you’ve had your account cloned (I don’t know, something more technical than this but you get the gist) and and is there anything he needs to tell you, they’re getting back to you within the next hour. And actually call the bank for some clarification on how these transactions were made.
Sorry OP, looks a bit (big bit) suspect.

Mellymoon · 06/03/2023 16:54

Only fans or sonething? Jeez though that’s a lot of money

mumstressoutmum · 06/03/2023 16:54

Oh my god hundreds too...I don't even have that money for necessities right now...
Cam girls or perhaps side piece...

Andypandy799 · 06/03/2023 16:55

@Toryjane certainly some explanation is needed from your husband, but I’m sorry it doesn’t look good and I would be livid.

Once a cheat always a cheat and like you say he has history and form for this kind of shit. You should have LTB the first time

TooManyPlatesInMotion · 06/03/2023 16:57

If prostitutes or cam girls etc, why the hell would he put their names as a reference? Other than being really stupid.

Is the name a reference of a nickname for the transferee? As a reference should be given to help the transferee identify who is sending the money, so a girl's own name wouldn't help . . . So I would assume he has been stupid enough to set them up as payees on the bank account and this is the short-cut name when he pays them.

UnePetitDeKelvin · 06/03/2023 16:57

I almost hope it's drugs. Id be incandescent if my OH spent £900 to play with himself.

taxpayer1 · 06/03/2023 16:57

It is a lot of money. He must earn a lot.

HollyFern1110 · 06/03/2023 16:58

I'm so sorry you're going through this, it must be an awful shock.

Unless it's fraud of course, he's definitely been paying for some kind of sexual contact. Be this with cam girls or in person. Although I'm not sure what £20 would get you in person. Not with women who are set up to receive card payments.

Seaweed42 · 06/03/2023 16:58

Was he away in a different country?
This could actually be a scam where his card was skimmed somewhere.
They take out one payment and if that goes through then they put through a load of other payments the same day.
But the Bank usually rings you to ask because their system detects suspicious activity on your card.

GoodChat · 06/03/2023 16:59

I don't see why he'd put the girls names if he was paying them direct, though. Surely those payments would be going to a pimp and they'd need to know who he'd paid for?

I'm actually hoping it's drugs and they're code names for different types of drugs. Could he have been out with friends that day and they all put their requests in hence the numerous payments?

elizabethdraper · 06/03/2023 16:59

Only fans

hopeishere · 06/03/2023 17:00

Agree it's cam girls.

I would imagine he talks to more than one girl, and therefore has their bank details logged with names so he knows he's paying the right person?

Looks like Barclays? I'm with them and it checks the name matches the account and if it doesn't I don't think it lets you send?

Paperexcelandpens · 06/03/2023 17:02

Surely it's fraud? If its a joint account surely he knows you'll see it? Doesn't make sense

ririca · 06/03/2023 17:05

I'd say it's probably cam girls, escorts etc. If it's fraud, then how did he not notice before? The payments are from months ago.

Radical0pal · 06/03/2023 17:06

Gambling?

catfunk · 06/03/2023 17:06

Agree at first glance it looks like cam girls/ pay pig but my logical brain is saying surely nobody can be that stupid and use a joint account for that..... fraud?
Call the bank asap.
His reaction when you say you've called the bank will tell you if it's cam girls or fraud.

UnionRep · 06/03/2023 17:08

Online girls. Also I think its the same girl who has probably changed the name slightly or has more than one account. It's the only reason for so many payments on one day that I can think of.

I would still get onto the bank though just to make your DH sweat.
