Asda Kingswood speak out after card cloning reports at store’s petrol station – Hull Daily Mail

A Hull supermarket has reassured customers they have had no recent issues with card cloning following reports of fraud at the store petrol station.

A post on Hull Blues and Twos that was shared hundreds of times claimed a customers card was cloned after using Asda Kingswood petrol station in north Hull.

The post read: Please can you advise anyone who has used Asda Kingswood petrol pay at pump to check their account as our card has been cloned around 7pm tonight (Wednesday July 19) the store have been informed. Please check your bank accounts.

The supermarket has, however, said they have received no reports about it and has daily security checks to catch such cloning devices.

Jon Tabiner, Asda Kingswood store manager, said: Wed like to reassure our customers that we have had no issues raised to us about our card payment systems.

We have daily security checks in place to ensure everything is working as it should and would encourage anyone who has a concern to contact us directly.

Shell Carter, of Hull, said she had 750 taken out of her account when she was caught out by a card cloning device at the Kingswood petrol station in April.

She said: I always use pump number 10 and have done for months. I went and got my fuel as usual, paid on my card and then went shopping.

Everything seemed fine until I went to the bank the next day to get money out to realise there were three transactions which had cleared my account of 750, and the money had been moved to other accounts.

She said she now uses cash rather than her card due to the stress and upset after becoming victim to card fraud.

I went into the bank, where they cancelled my card and investigated for fraud, she said. It wasnt refunded for a few days until they had a proper look into it.

I also saw one of the staff members at Asda petrol station who informed me I was one of a few it had happened to that day. And someone else had been there, put their card in and the device used to clone cards fell out. I was one of the unlucky few.

I pay cash now as it was a lot of stress and upset just by using the quick pay lanes. I cant understand how this has happened about three times this year.
