    It hasn't happened me, but if you can prove it was somebody else the bank should refund your money, I think they have insurance. I hope it works out ok for you.

    Funny, the coincidence that this is almost the exact amount to get you an hour (plus a few pints in some cases) with a number of ladies is difficult to overlook, any client rob your card? Was it an atm transaction?

    If I was able to access a bank link for one off fraud, it'd be the daily max, try €400/600/800.

    Looks like this may have been someone you know.

    220 is the max that can be taken from a normal aib account via an atm in one day.

    You could lose 220 a day for a few days but after 3 or 4 days of that, aib block the card. Kind of embarrasing if it happens when you are taking the cash out yourself.

    I know that aib cash machines in Dublin have been hit by card cloning devices. (They clip over the front of the machine and read the card as it goes in and out.) Also, there are some dodgy terminals around. There are factories in China that actually make card readers that are sold to small shops as legit devices but they have a side channel (usually the net if the reader is connected to an online computer but there are some with cellular radios inside) and they send card details off to some bad guys who run a card cloning operation.

    If you go quickly to the bank they will normally refund the money unless they suspect that you are running a scam on them. One guy in the UK actually ended up in jail when he was falsely accused of trying to trick his bank by claiming that he had been the victim of a phantom atm withdrawal. He was cleared on appeal but not after losing his job as a copper. It became quite a famous case in computer security circles.

    Ring them up straight away and they should be able to tell you were it is gone. My Dad had a similar situation a few weeks back turned out they got accounts mixes up and the bank were taking money from his account and should have been someone elses.

    I think 600 is the max on AIB, used to be much lower but they raised it a few years ago. As others have said ring straight away.
