I tried to close my account down at the bank but the fraud squad insisted I kept it open I was also told by the bank to keep my account open or I would lose my street cred & lose out on some benefits. They said they would keep a watch on my account to see if anybody else went into it, like heck. A few days later we went down to the bank only to find that somebody had set up three more direct debits. We had a word with the fraud squad again, after one person had milked the account they sell your details to somebody else. We got all our money back, very upsetting. There was also an elderly lady in the bank who was in tears & in a terrible state as she had been scammed out of £8,000 felt really sorry for her Pete
