Hey fellow meisters; hellish day thanks to Trustly.
Had a call from the fraud manager at barclays this afternoon alerting me to unauthorised access to my online banking from Sweden. She asked if I had been abroad as my account had been access from a swedish IP address that was linked to a high number of fraudlant transations.
When I explained I used Trustly to deposit and withdraw at a casino she asked how I did it.
step 1... you log into your bank account through the trustly interface using your banks online banking username, pin code and password then type in the digits from your debit card
step 2... the bank sends you a secure code to authorise payment or you use a pin sentry device
At this point the lady on the phone said STOP STOP. I'm going to have to block your account immediately for 48 hours and re-issue your online banking login details. You must never give your online banking username or password to anyone and by giving then a secure code by text or pin sentry means they have complete control over your account.
Looking back I was surprised to see my bank balance, mortgage and isa accounts all showing on the casino web site. What an total fucking idiot I am for giving away all my information to a commerical company in Sweden. Reading on Wikipedia they may be licensed in their homeland but it breaches confidentialy of your account
After this long phone call with barclays I was told by giving any third party access to my bank account I will NOT be covered by any protection if anything went missing in future.
