When credit card fraud hits home
Last night Dr B. found out his credit card had been used for a value of around five thousand pounds.
He was quickly on the phone with Nationwide who were most helpful and will refund the lot, so no worries really, but he now swears he's never going to use cards in a restaurant again (you never know what they are doing with it when they are out of sight).
So you can imagine he probably did not really go to bed with a peaceful mind.
Add then the phone rang all through the night: Dr B. is now on call for work until Monday, and he kept taking panicked calls from colleagues imploring him to give their failing databases a good seeing to.
I sneaked out of bed at 5am and am planning to be out the door before he gets up. Believe me, you do not want to cross path with a sleep-deprived Dr B.
Oops, spoke too late! As I type this, his work mobile is going off in the other room. Quick, hide under the desk!
