after being on the petrol light for 15 miles I stopped at tesco petrol station,
No unleaded 
Carried another 5miles on to total - cash machine out of order 
goes inside to pre pay give the man my card, he says to me do you mind if you leave the card with us mate for security, YES I reply 
Realised as im putting the petrol into my car that the bastard could be writing down all my numbers and is planning to empty my account
so I found a cash machine and took £350 quid out wich leaves around £100 on that card
Do I just go into the bank and cancel my card tomorrow and they will send me a new one, how long does it take
YES I WAS A TIT ( I dont need this pointing out :thumbs
thank you good night, much love

Can I ask you a few security questions to gain access to your bank account?

yeah, he most likely is doing,
maybe worth reporting it to the police, just so they could check it out
i got done a couple months ago, 130quid taken out in topup cards
he may be completely innocent and it that case he has nothing to worry about

Some of the Total garages near where I used to live in Manchester would make you leave your card with them before you could fill up. Never had a problem with anything happening to my card.

The smaller garages round here do it after about 9 to stop people filling up and fucking off before the bloke can unlock the door.

I dont know what its like for you northerners, but down here in the south, we have machines which you can put your card in... theres no need for people, it lets you have petrol
Yes it does. At Asda no doubt!

And some tescos and a few other garages Still need to be as vigilant though as someone could stick a reader on the outside just like with cash machines...

Some of the places here do that though Matt. You have to leave your card with them and then fill up. The Total garage i use do that but i'm there every night so they put the pumps on for me
If you're worried about it though just phone up your bank and cancel the card on the phone. They'll then send you out another one with a new number.

I normally only go to tesco, you put your card in it gives you back your card and you put the petrol in, no need to speak to anyone or anything, its great
theres unny about 50 quid left on the card now as I used some this morning
I have time to go into the bank tomorrow so Il sort it then, Ive missed the "english" call centre now Its too stressfull speaking to overseas people
