Well my ASIC turned up on Friday arvo....after I posted re this topic!!! I guess like the Dr said, 15 days (for me that was after they took the money....)
As for the card skimming scam....I pursued this further on Friday as well and found out that the card machine at McDonalds at Miranda Fair in South Sydney had been substituted. I'd used my card there a few days later but fortunately hadn't been ripped off..hence the new card, new pin number etc......the guy at St George I spoke to on the phone told me that this was a very sophisticated operation and advised me to tell everyone to change their pin numbers....funny that, the one before that wouldn't tell me Jack!! Maybe they've been instructed otherwise given the media etc....
So watch out everyone, this scam is very big (well in Sydney anyway....) and maybe think about changing your pin no's.....
