Read now!!! Warning too all!

This will possibly effect everyone here!

I just tried logging on to my online banking to be told i can't acess it currently! So i call them quoting the ref to be told.

Mr Wright your account has been clossed and all moneys within the account have been frozen. Reason is due to money laundring and reciving funds stolen from other accounts!!!

WTF, no way in hell would i.

EX MOD, borther MOD, most of my family and i mean not just basic army lads me old man use to build missiles and rockets for them then left and worked at 10 downing street for a bit!

I've a copper on the way too interview me about in next half hour!

Aparantly it all happend on the 14th and a transfer rose alert.

I duno even whom paid me then!

How random eh. Just glad this is not my pub account, i'd be mega miffed if they took my pub money!

Edit: I been too the bank with the copper

Okay i just got back and this is bigger than what they said on the phone.

Spoke with cashier and she went and called them, i was then asked to enter a room of which she gave me a copy of my statments to check over. She left the room, 15 mins latter she come back with the ccopper!

He was from the fruad side and they both informed of what had happend. It was over £50k that was stolen from someones account and paid into mine. The staments i had been given had this removed!

Im fully unwear of this! I explained about the buying and selling of goods here on the forum and they were okay with it although took a dim view too it!

Basicly i've now to wait as they look into more, i gave them my laptop (use it currently for everything) to check, all my ISP info, what forums i use, my paypal, ebay, other bank accounts i have, copy of all my ID, poped into my mates work and used there photo copier to give 7 years worth of bank statments i have with Llyods and 4 with the others i have, copy of my bank rupcy, everything basicly to prove this is not me!

When talking with the copper he asked how do we do the transaction for the stuff we sell.

Said PM, mail or msn the sort code, account, name on account and amount, ether real time typing or document ie word or note pad. Address is sent back same! First thing he said was this could be cause of how they got my info. Virus, hacking, electornic taging and basicly recpients info on there hd downloaded, scaned for the info and info used to clone electronicly. He said it's on the increase big time!

He's advice was if we carry on trading this way too remove delet the data soon as payment is made.

He thinks that someone had kept the data on there pc and has been hacked, infected etc etc or really oddly they got lucky.

Though latter when i showed my statments transactions going out not athourzied by me where most evident so it's possible my card was cloned!

I now have to wait for them too check and let me know!!

So word of wanring, trading delet all info soon as you get it and make payment, or take a photo of the numbers for transfer.

Im mega F***D off as they not being very helpfull at all!
 
Wow, how unlucky for you but your just lucky that it wasn't money taking from your account lol.

Just cooperate and all will go fine, the Police normally do a great job with this sort of stuff, Lloyds are also a great bank.

Hope all goes well mate.
 
Re-read it. I've had money taken out my account, my own money! As well as money put in!

Lloyds are bad, this is the 5th lot of fraud this year, totaling 7K now on money withdrawn out my account
 
Ouch, I'd be ****ed. Regardin them takin a dim view on selling stuff. The police take a dim view on anyone doing anything. There is nothing wrong with giving out your bank account number and sort code. You generally ned a lot mre info than that to mess with somone's account.

Do you get paper statements? Do you have a card for that account - It is very easy to skim a card and not too hard to build a faschia for an atm.

As the money will have just been passing through your account, I'm sure you will be off the hook pretty soon. As long as you have nothing bad on your laptop. I mean regarding anything, not just money laundering. You've given them permission to search it for anything and search it they will.

I'm surprised they didn't seize control of every account you have and maybe even your close families. They probably have searched them and found nothing.
 
They'd have to dig my borther up and fly my fokes back from oz if they wanted to check them. Rest of the family is all over the world!

The money went directly into my account and stayed there
 
I`ve seen many of these incidents happen, and fingers pointed as to what/why/when - and in all honesty, the things that I`ve encountered can only point back to the bank themselves. Errors mostly.

Ofc I can`t comment on this individual case, but just from experience.

Further down the line they finger ur account too cos of flags that have happened against it - even when it`s something done in their error (obviously in their error cos of the corrections they made without hesitation or question). Wash my hands of them myself.

Don`t think Egg would care if I mentioned their name. Eff em tbh, the bstards could have left me in the states with my finger in my arse if I hadn`t found out info myself.
 
Do not know why Lloyds did not flag it once large amounts were taken out - its normal practice.

I would definately know if something was happening in my account - our lass watches it like a hawk.

Can't beat the skills of a separate slush fund :D

Hope it all gets sorted for you. and thanks for serving :beerchug:
