How fraudsters can scam you without stealing your card

It used to be the case that a scammer had to physically steal your card if they wanted your money. But that’s no longer the case.

In this episode of the Which? Money podcast, our scam expert Faye Lipson joins us to share the story about how her card was used by fraudsters despite it still sitting inside her wallet.

She explains how it was possible, thanks to a little-known process that banks offer by default to make banking as convenient as possible.
