A bit off running but important.

In and around Nottingham "unauthorized withdrawals" have been made from accounts used to pay for entries in to sporting events. Please check your email receipts for 2017. Several argencies use an American based collection company who may have a shady reputation. On a personal basis my credit card was plundered for nearly £1600. This card had a credite limit of £1500 ,so threw up an instant warning at the bank. I am happy name this company as their reputation is well documented. But if the moderators deceid they don't wish the name published please message me personally.

I think there's a Facebook group trying to boycott all races who use them because of this. By the sounds of the posts it's been happening a while and they don't seem too bothered by it.

Who it mike as there’s been an attempt on my credit card for £1200, fortunately thwarted by the bank but it would be useful to know by whom

You can pm me 🙂

Mmmm i wonder if this is the same company who failed to issue medals etc for one of the virtual runs I entered?

Mike, I would appreciate further details about this to be able to point out the risks to the C25K forum members. We are all so vulnerable in this day and age and having had it happen to me (though not run related) I know it leaves a nasty taste behind and my card company will never give me details of how the scammers got my details.

Better to be forewarned.
