Since I have been in philippines two of my debit cards jave been compromised. My first card was kalixa pre paid debit card there were unauthorised withdrawals of about £2000 in about 4 weeks I had a new card sent I had new pin number. My card was blocked and I could not withdraw when I contacted kalixa they told me there had been many attempts to use my card on the old pin number consequently the card was frozen I have now emptied that account and left it in a uk account today I went to metrobank here in tanza only to find that 60000 pesos is missing from that account as well noone knows my pin number and I have not written it anywhere the banks are closed for the christmas holodays so I dont know what has happened. The bank does not send me bank statements every month I have to go to the bank and ask I only use card to get cash from atm machines which dont always give receipts I only hope the bank takes responsibility for their lack of security but I doubt if I will get a penny back. Dont know what to do now I feel I cant trust filipino banking system. Has anyoneelse experienced aanything like this
