Ikea is great, 2 full breakfasts and unlimited coffee for £5.60, what is not to like.

Their "coffee" for starters.

Found another £116 on the scam today. That's a total of £506. So far £390 repaid. Today's shouldn't be a problem. Two payments to Royal Mail via PayPal. My wife has never used PayPal and her card is not associated with my PayPal account. My account history shows no equivalent payments so I'm confident Santander will refund.

Thanks for the concern.

I check all accounts every 1-2 days. Partly for this reason but mainly to keep a close eye on our financial position. Limited income etc.

Know a few who got text messages about odd activity on their accounts at Santander in the last few days.

The interesting thing is it was the smallest transaction of £6.23 which triggered the fraud alert. £384 to Airbnb did nothing!!

Can be location of the transaction as much as the amount.

People don't realise what a struggle it is for us poor pensioners.

I have only been into Ikea once in my life when they first opened. I was totally underwhelmed with the shop. Can't even remember where the store was.

Wednesbury by the M6??

Possibly. It's been that long that I don't remember.
