Online Bank Card Fraud

I checked my business bank account the other day to find that there has been three transactions that I didn’t make on there (about £200 or $400). I immediately cancelled my card. I only ever use my business account to make purchases online and all of these are made from reputable companies (with registerfly as the exception). I have never replied to any dodgy phising emails or anything like that. So the details of the card must have been got by an employee of one of these companies or via hacking or something.

I have decided that from now on I won’t use my card online I will use a payment service such as paypal or google checkout.

I don’t know if I will get my money back or not I have emailed all the companies that purchases were made from and I will ring my banks disputes hotline tomorrow. I will keep you updated.
