bank card fraud

I'm going to have a bit of a rant about this because if there is one thing i can't stand it is people who have a complete disrespect for other people and there property.
I'm away on holiday at the minute as the kids are off school for 2 weeks and i have had a phone call from my bank asking about my recent activity. As it turns out some *&$% has used my bank card to buy £200 worth of stuff from i-tunes. It's lucky the fraud department at the bank got onto it so quick otherwise they could of cleared me out.
The thing what annoys me the most is i'm on holiday and now have no bank card, as it has been cancelled. It's lucky i'm here with my husband - we have separate bank accounts, otherwise i'd have no money to feed myself or kids and no way of getting home because my car has less than a quarter of a tank of petrol. So i would be stranded here with starving kids just because some idiot wanted to have the latest songs on his *&$%£* ipod. If you are reading this and take part in this kind of thing think about the people and the situation you could be leaving them in by taking THERE money. Ok we get it back but only after we dispute it which could take weeks!

    Hi Joanne, great to have found your blog!

    I really hope they get this sorted out for you, what a totally despicable thing to do. I sometimes wonder, what is it with people that they do things like this?

    I just love that lampwork bead in your earlier post!

    That's awful. I know how you feel. I've had my card cloned twice and fraudsters went on a bit of a spending spree around Europe! - luckily the bank was onto it before I was. It's such a violation as well as an inconvenience - especially when you're away from home.
