Exactly. When some little  :-# ripped off my card details a couple of years ago it was handled by the bank's in-house fraud squad. I've no idea what the outcome was, but would imagine that they gathered all the evidence they could, possibly compared it with other banks in an effort to determine the source of the leak, and then passed all details to the Police (or CPS? Not 100% sure how this works!) to prepare a prosecution.

It depends how much money was lost and if they got any back. Similar thing happened to me. I KNOW who got my card details (long story but I bought something off an internet site) and he used it to access porn sites. The bank got a refund from the porn site and flatly told me they were not interested in persuing the fraudster as it wasn't cost effective. The porn site had given them his IP address as well. Water tight case but they wouldn't have regained any money from it so why bother?

I've got an investigation ongoing with my bank as I noticed £10 had gone from my account to a Nat West Standing order. Its only just started and I definately haven't set it up. we'll see what happens?
