@dolbiano You're not alone in this theory, James. Virgin Active's own cleaner even said "it sounds like an inside job". Too much of a coincidence.

UPDATE (A thread about my thread, if I may) Let’s start with Santander *Drumroll* They have now agreed to reimburse all fraudulent transactions on my account (PHEW) - “Entirely our fault” - “The absolute incorrect decision” - “Unreserved apology” - “We failed you”

@gemma_byrne Thanks, Gem x. Chiswick Park is where the theft occurred - be careful. They've not even emailed members to tell them. They're claiming they aren't liable for theft, but if it wasn't for @VirginActiveUK 's security failure on that day none of this would have happened.

@Nicola_Slawson Thanks, Nicola. Very well put! And I've tried re CCTV, Virgin Active refuse to even check their own, citing data protection rules (the irony is painful). As far as the stores are concerned, I've called them but they said the police need to request it (which is what I expected).

To every single one of you who shared, messaged, lobbied and 🦁ROARED🦁 along with me - I cannot express how grateful I am. You’ve been the sparks this world desperately needed to ignite a much wider debate around the security of our personal finances in a tech-obsessed world.

@NeilMackay78 @santanderuk I will try to keep everyone updated. Banks are terrified of setting a precedent because things like this happen quite often and they'll do anything to avoid paying out. Bank accounts are designed to keep our money safe, not to cost us...

I’m calling on @VirginActiveUK to seriously review their security. And, crucially, I’ve requested Santander removes their the PIN-in-app feature (other banks - take note) as this could have prevented what happened. I don’t see why it should be there by default - make it optional

Lock that sim! - Settings - Mobile data - Sim PIN If a fraudster gets hold of your phone, they’ll hit a security wall. It’ll prevent them receiving any one-time passcodes sent by your bank to confirm your ‘identity’. #FraudPrevention

Also during the call, I was told that my new bank card - which they said they’d send when I reported the theft - was only dispatched the day before, meaning I’ve been without a bank card or access to my account for an extra WEEK They’ve acted like the financial Fawlty Towers 🙃

I hope our noise sets a precedent so people in similar circumstances without a platform are treated fairly and with the respect they deserve and need. Santander has agreed to reopen other cases where they’ve refused to reimburse someone’s money (if that’s you, do contact them).

Back to @VirginActiveUK , They claim the turnstiles were switched off for 3-5 minutes “due to a system reboot” and during this time, club “attendees” wrote down their names. They‘ve also still not informed members of what happened - thankfully, we’ve done that on their behalf…

This morning I’ve spoken to VA’s Managing Director who assures me the matter is being taken seriously. But he said, “At the moment, the theft doesn’t point to the security gate issue…” They are analysing CCTV (90 mins before/after) and say this will take them around two weeks
