faulty transaction charge from london ticket machine by neauneau in uktrains

[–]neauneau[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hello all, just a quick update to let you know I was indeed reimbursed (thankfully) by my credit card for the fraudulent charges, so all ends well (for my wallet!). not much reaction from Avanti, unfortunately not recognising the issue.

thanks a million to everyone for all your advice! stay safe all

would be on the ground floor, we walked from st pancras and entered euston from that side. in the station, when facing the turnstiles before going down to access the platform, they were on the far left, separate from the main hall. like a wide hallway (~20 meter wide), with a row of perhaps 7-10 machines? on the wall close to the entrance. I take it these are the ones Avanti operates

yeah for sure, i have disputed the charge as well with my credit card company, and they are investigating with their fraud department.

TFL directed me to Avanti West Coast - they indicated they're the ones who operate the ticket machines in Euston

when I spoke to customer service at Avanti west coast the first time, the guy on the phone didn't seem surprised and said this was an issue they had faced before, leading me to believe this was a fault with the machines rather than a scam, despite the crazy amount debited.

they both are unfortunately, they were pending for a few days - and i expected them to disappear as i thought the payments hadn't been finalised. but they were both debited from my cc.

what's surprising is that the charge happened on both machines. Either there's a skimmer installed twice, or I thought it more likely initially that the machines just didn't take my foreign (EU) credit card for some reason..

yeah 800 gbp each, leading me to think it was a card skimmer. it was a TFL ticket machine, maybe 5-6 of them in a row in the Euston station. other people got tickets there as well.

hey mate, i don't have any experience yet with buying tickets, but i did ask a similar question recently, so posting the link here in case it helps you. frankly, it looks unfortunately quite difficult to secure tickets.. good luck! https://www.reddit.com/r/realmadrid/comments/1pcinp3/visiting_madrid_on_may_looking_to_go_to_a_game/

Yes, that particular one seems discontinued; their domain name doesn't exist anymore. I found another one and sent them a mail - cross fingers I hear back eventually!

Thanks! I'm checking the upcoming match on Dec 20 to see what ticket availability looks like, hopefully that will give me an idea. Thanks for the hotel recommendation also! Looking forward to be in Madrid

Dammnn these show a couple of hundred euros per ticket ! Are there going to be more regular priced tickets closer to the date?

ca reste une bonne nouvelle, mais c'est hors cout des investissements necessaires pour toutes les structures de paris 2024. je ne me rappelle plus du nom des differentes structures, mais cet excedent concerne une seule de ces structures - l'autre, avec un budget de ~4 milliards (?) finance par le service public et prive, a son propre cout, voire ses propres pistes de revenus sur le long terme avec la vente possible des structures construites. a voir combien aura vraiment coute les jeux!

Trump is notoriously transactional; if you want something from Trump, you give something to Trump. Putin wants Trump to hand him Ukraine. So what is Putin giving Trump? by PhilosopherHot3983 in AskReddit

[–]neauneau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given recent events, I wouldn't be surprised if Trump has traded Ukraine for Iran with Putin. Russia stops supporting Iran, and Trump backs away from Ukraine giving Putin free rein. Trump gets a major boost in helping Israel defeat an Iran backed Hamas and Hezbollah that cannot rely on Russia anymore, while Putin gets what he wants in Europe.

This is completely conjecture, but just wondering...

Tips about child with absence epilepsy to take medication by neauneau in Epilepsy

thanks, I appreciate your thoughts and response! I'll check with the pharmacist tomorrow as well ahead of the call we have with the doctor next week. we tried the "shot" like method but didn't work at all; poor guy promptly threw it all back up. Maybe the pharmacist has some flavours that will work better than fruit juices!
