Hi folks,

My bank just blocked an illegal transaction on my Credit Card. As I use this for on line model purchases only then it might be worth double checking any recent activity on your cards.

Last time this happened it was when Hannant's got compromised, although I have no idea if there is a connection there this time. Recent purchases were with Squadron, Netmerchants, SB Models, Historex with the remainder througb Paypal.

Fortunately the fraudster(s) got nothing as the Bank monitor any unusual transactions and blocked the payment.

Just a heads up.

Alan, people laugh at me, but I check each of my credit cards and banks daily for strange charges.

It's always a good idea to check your activity regularly.
