Just checked my bank today as most of my bills are due tomorrow and there was a payment for £34.50 to Ryanair gone out today.
Phoned bank and they said it was applied for on Friday and do I want to stop my card if I don't recognise the payment.
I got them to hold on as I had been looking at flights to Ireland a couple of weeks ago so had a moment where I was doubting myself and looked into it. Phoned Ryanair and after giving them my card number, although they wouldn't give me any details they would confirm details that I knew. They used my card, my name and address, but different phone number, email and person flying. They did agree to pass it on to fraud as did my bank when I called them back and cancelled the card. They then told me there was another payment for £20 on it's way out but she couldn't tell me who it is for until it clears.
It's being sorted but it has so pissed me off. I rarely use my card as I use paypal where possible and cash for day to day stuff. Only transaction I made as a stand alone card payment in last 3 months (although they could have got card details up to a couple of years ago I suppose) was to indesitspares.co.uk. No other transaction would have had card details AND my name and address. Only time I've used my card apart from that is a couple of fuel purchases and cash machine withdrawals that wouldn't give them my address at same time.
