I checked my Lloyds TSB bank account today to reconcile our expenditure against our statement only to find that we'd been the victims of credit card fraud to the tune of just under £2,400.
The code against the transaction started with EM AIR and I immediately thought of Emirates Airline (and it was).
Lloyds TSB Fraud department were very good (although we were held on line for over 35 minutes) and - after the necessary security checks had been concluded - revealed that airline tickets had been booked on my debit card on the 24th December 2010 in Dubai.
I don't use my here in France unless it's an emergency but I do use it online on occasions and I did withdraw money from three machines in Morocco.
I don't know when and where my security was compromised but I thought I'd share my experience with you just as a warning.
Lloyds TSB will reimburse the full amount as well as any costs so we won't be out of pocket.

The thing to do while you are paying at the supermarket is to shout out four random numbers at the top of your voice while you are keying your pin in. It scares the hell out of every one LOL.
On a serious note it's also worth noting that if you get a phone call from your bank or card provider, tell them that you will ring them back (on the number that you know is genuine), as you have no idea if the call is genuine.
