Paradigm - Beware!
 

Following on form the "Basrah is beckoning" thread it appears that I am not the only one to have come a cropper due to, I believe, Paradigm Services' handling of my credit card details whilst OOA.

I warned off my boss and colleagues but thought it was a one off. Has anyone else had similar problems? If so then someone at Paradigm or their Contract Monitors needs to sort it out. They could also be getting the details from when you top up your phone account - they store them for future use, supposedly securely!

Anyone any suggestions on the need to do anything else? I have reported Paradigm to Barclaycard as the source of a possible leak. I hope they get a good kick up the arse!

Out of Area? - Get someone to check your statements!

Don't muck about mate. If you have even the slightest suspicion that one or more of their employees is using/passing on card details whilst people are deployed, then report it to the [U]civil[U] police immediately. At the minimum, it should force P to look at security.

Hey Sid....I spoke to my hubby today and he is really interested in what you said....I shall forward this link to him....Thanks!

Cheers guys.
I know my particular case is already being investigated by the civil police via the credit card company. I have done all the paperwork and everything has been made available to the plods.
Having a stronger suspicion now than I did before, I have informed the fraud department. I’ll follow it up with another email, belt and braces.
I’ll have a chat with my OC Police here too to see if anything can be passed on from the Mil side.

:ok:

Maybe the RAFP could conduct an investigation.:ok:

No hang on...who would do 'Barrier Up???':ugh:

More LAter;
'J' Bloke!!:cool:

Now a "J" Bloke!!

Harsh.........But Fair!!

On a serious note, this shouldn't be happening to our guys who are out in the badlands. This should be the least of their worries.

Chum of mine has just come back from Kandy, had the same problem. Will pass this on to him.

Ladies/Gents,

Fair old bit of PSL Bashing going on here. Now I am either missing something here as a brand new member of PPRUNE or has nobody thought of reporting this to PSL or Theatre/PJHQ J1 staffs. I happen to be the MOD interface between PSL and the FLCs/PJHQ and I am happy to talk to anyone on the subject. I was notified about this scam by SP POL in town and I am investigating it with my PSL colleague. The banks have already been in touch as well. Rest assured this has not been sat on.:ugh:

If you would like to discuss this further, you can type SATSD1a into any military PC and my details should appear. Failing that use the D Directory. :ugh:
