In future I shall be paying for my optimax in cash..................
You too then ?!!! Apparently we've been trying to purchase items from Carphone Warehouse and Currys online over the last couple of weeks, but strangely enough neither Chris nor I remember doing this !!
Don't your card company ring you first to check then stop the transaction?
I known Tesco(card) ring Mrs Beer but then again Mrs Beer emails Tesco her comments and complaints regularly - I think she's on their nutty-old-lady list
Should be interesting as she was going fill up at this petrol station the other night (not sure if she did)

Is this still going on? They got me in January from this petrol station. 
I thought they'd been caught?
I was wondering if this was old hat especially with the Optimax referenceI thought they'd been caught?
Mrs beer tells me she usually pays at the pump to avoid this (clever my missus) but has V-Power voucher and coupon to use so need to go to a till
I was scammed in January from the shell garage on the A45 as well. Luckily Tesco (who's credit card it was) called me as soon as someone tried to post a transaction somewhere in India and stopped my card straight away.
Someone told me that the terminals are swapped by someone who looks official and says the card terminals are faulty. They replace them with official looking terminals that have some way of storing all the card details. They return after a week and swap them back and then use the card info that has been somehow stored in their units to clone our cards. I'm not sure if this is true or not, but I can't see how they can get hold of the Chip information any other way.
So much for Chip and PIN!

Is this the one that is always busy? I don't think (hope) we have ever used it
we've used it a couple of times, but ages ago. It's the one with the hand carwash just before you get to J15SB - Nigel said:

Is this the garage on the A45 coming in to northampton ?
As my work card has been cloned twice with the last 12 months
Yes from junction 15 of M1As my work card has been cloned twice with the last 12 months
However until OP confirms this may be old news (or a reocurrence?)
Cliff(Ceejay) got his cards done there as well. Aparently there was a spot on local TV re this garage in the autumn, but I didn't see it.
Too late Mrs Beer's been there and fill up and used the till inside (to use vouchers) so we'll wait and see if Tesco(card) phone
She's also come in with a desperate need to visit the Vicotria Inn, Poole St. (bad Friday 13th at work)
And to think it was only last night I had to explain to a tour organiser that's it's not always me that has to stop at a pub !!
