Really sorry to hear this Stephen. I hope you aren't put in too much= of a hardship because of it.

Not that it is a huge difference, but was the card you were using a cred= it card or a debit card? I used my business account bank card (debit) for m= y account and I'd hate to find it all drained from something like this.= =A0

I was going to post this earlier, but I didn't want to raise anyone&= #39;s paranoia levels.
