will the police be involved in a cash card fraudulent transaction ?

Question

my friend has foolishly intercepted another friends cashcard when it was posted to their house, she has gone into the bank and withdrawn money on this card, will the police be involved and will my other friend be refunded by the bank

Answer 1

Banks usually want a crime number for their records when this sort of thing happens, so they will report it to the police. Whether or not anything comes of that is down to the CPS.

Your other friend will be reimbursed by the bank, but it may take time. They should set up a 'short account' in the interim so that your friend's position is unaffected.

Possible charges include theft, fraud and forgery (if she signed for the transaction in the bank).

Answer 2

I am Chief Investigator at a large Internet retailer, I came up through the ranks starting as a fraud analyst. Get a new card account number. There is really nothing else that can be done. Although it sucks, the guy is an evil thief, etc. etc. -- there's nothing the police can do, or have the time or resources to do, and it's simply not worth the time or energy required to go on a wild goose chase. Does that stink? I suppose it does. But millions of fraudulent transactions go on all the time. Thousands of them every day. It's part of the cost of doing business. No single fraud of that kind is worth going after. Only when a transaction is part of a very large case involving thousands of such transactions by the same people is there any value in trying to nail the scum. You can file a police report. Not such a bad idea if if makes you feel better. Just don't expect much. The e-mail address is absolutely useless. It's a disposable address, it was signed up with fake information. The best thing you can do is have the fraudulent charge canceled, get a new card number, and keep that freaking thing to yourself. Oh, and fergodsakes -- QUIT ANSWERING THOSE PHISHING E-MAILS!

Answer 3

First, she intercepted mail that was addressed to another occupant = mail theif. Second she went to the bank and without the knowlege and concent of the rightful owner went and withdrawn money. Sounds like fraud and theif. If the person who this has happened to finds out that money is missing from their acount without their knowledge, reports it to the bank that
T H E Y never received this card. There will be a lock placed on the persons acct and an investigation conducted in order to prove that the person is not scaming the bank out of money by making false accusations. Jail time, for your friend as it is probably her first offence, maybe 3-7 yrs.

Answer 4

card theft is considered very bad so the police will be called its down to the bank whether they refund

Answer 5

yes the police will be involved,your other friend should get her money back from the card company

Answer 6

Your foolish friend should simply return all the cash & card & all details to your other friend and apologise, then there will be no fraud.
Otherwise, this is a very serious offence.
