Just wondered if anyone had ever had any problems with buying via credit card from OcUK.
Why i ask is this -
About a month ago a friend of mine asked me to upgrade his graphic card and psu, i do so purchasing items amounting to around £130.
He had given me his card and details previously, the transaction went through quite smoothly although i did have to ring him for a password for the passport stage which comes at the end, no problem there.
Jump forward to yesterday, my friend contacts me saying that his card has been
used without his authorisation, namely a £25 transaction on the same day that i ordered from OcUK, a computer system purchased from ***** (***** actually rang him re: delivery to Coventry !!), multiple purchases in USA, including £2 in a resaurant.
Obviously he knows i have nothing to do with this.
He reckons he only used the card twice previously, to buy a TV from another etailer (********) which was returned faulty and refunded and to pay a parking fine (by post).
The police have been informed and he is getting the fraudulent transactions re-credited to his card.
Over the last 6 or 7 years i personally have bought thousands of pounds for myself, other friends and my boss (2 projectors) from OcUk and i have never had a problem at all, hence the reason i keep returning.
I am at a loss as to what could have happened in the instance.
