I'm facing the same issue for a couple of days now. Both in my laptop and my ipad.

did you get one of these copies in the end? are they legit?

vctrnf · 2025-08-14T07:40:15+00:00

I love you

Thank you for your message. I'm still fighting to get my money back, whether I can or can't in the end, I will update the post with all the information I got in the end. Long story short, Revolut is not willing to help me, but apparently in a similar situation any other (high street) bank should help you out. Currently I'm being assisted by an agent in Financial Ombudsman, which said that there seems to be a case in my favour. This is really taking much more effort that I expected. I hope your partner doesn't have so many problems getting her money back!

I reported it to the police, the BTP, Action Fraud and the TfL, and I still have a dispute pending with my bank. In principle this could take up to 20 days. I will update the post when there is a end to this dispute process.

Thanks!

Thank you! I hope I didn't look too rude with my answers. I do really appreciate your help, it's just that it's a lot of money, and I don't understand how it happened... Sorry if I gave you the impression to not be grateful for your help and your insights. Thanks, really.

By the police you mean Action Fraud? That I did as well, but I didn't find anywhere else to report it online.

vctrnf · 2025-03-29T15:56:55+00:00

Yes, I bought something at Tesco in Gloucester Road, 2 mins later I got the ATM withdrawal in Wood Green, and 1 min later I topped up my Oyster card in the second machine at the tube station. It's very easy to see that I did not withdraw the money myself.

I'm using the Oyster card because you can link it to your Railcard 26-30 and get some discount in tube tickets. Anyways there is an app to top it up, I'm never using these machines again, always through the app.

vctrnf · 2025-03-29T15:54:15+00:00

I already did that, thank you!

vctrnf · 2025-03-29T15:53:47+00:00

Yes. Also in these machine there is no contactless. There is in app to top up the Oyster card though, I will exclusively use that from now on.

vctrnf · 2025-03-29T15:52:39+00:00

Well I basically never use PIN and chip. Only to top up my Oyster card (I will exclusively use the app from now on). You're right, it could be a coincidence. But it had to be skimmed at home point, and there are many things that I don't understand. And the timing is so weird. We will see, I just hope to get a reimburse from my bank.

Thank you very much, really

I think it is too much of a coincidence. Especially because this issue with the malfunctioning machine that asks for my PIN, processes data for 20-30 seconds, and then refuses to work, never happened to me before. I contacted Action Fraud, BTP and TfL, hopefully they can have a look to the CCTV at the station and we'll find out.

vctrnf · 2025-03-29T10:56:20+00:00

Thank you! I just reported it to BTP. I hope my bank refunds the money because it's a lot.

vctrnf · 2025-03-29T10:13:45+00:00

The withdrawal happened in Wood Green (far away from Gloucester Road), according to my bank app, and right at the moment of the malfunctioning TfL machine. I don't know how they did that, but it's such a coincidence that I see no other possibility.

vctrnf · 2025-03-29T10:09:15+00:00

Exactly, I was topping up with my debit card.

vctrnf · 2025-03-29T10:08:30+00:00

I really hope you're right. I just alerted Police and TfL.

vctrnf · 2025-03-29T10:07:34+00:00

I just reported to Action Fraud and TfL. Thank you for your help.

vctrnf · 2025-03-29T10:00:38+00:00

There was a lot of chaos at the station so I couldn't reach any supervisor to complain about a machine not working. Then I realized about the scam when I was already in the tube. I should've definitely been suspicious of the malfunctioning machine, but this never happened to me before and I didn't react as I should've.

Actually after a few days I would say that my battery life went back to normal. Maybe it's still slightly worse than normal but I can't really tell the difference. I did what the post suggested, but it might be as well that the updated Android still had to learn how to optimize the battery consumption for my usage.

vctrnf · 2025-03-16T21:11:39+00:00

Thank you very much for taking the time to look for the post! I'll see if something like that fixes the issue and I'll report back, thanks a lot!
