Well...don't we feel foolish after realising that we have also somehow been included in the ''very clever'' shoppersdiscounts.co.uk scam.

Looks as it happened when booking a flight through ebookers - and shoppersdiscounts has happily been removing £10 from the bank account every month ever since.

We phoned the bank who were adamant that ''this is NOT a scam'' - but after insisting they put a stop to this - they were able to connect us to shoppersdiscounts - who immediately terminated the agreement!

How strange that we were not to get through to the shoppersdiscounts phone number directly...(?)

Hopefully this will help others who would like to stop such blatant theft - get on the phone to your bank and shout loudly :) !

It appears that a fee of £8.00 is being requested by ShoppersDiscounts from my bank on a monthly basis. Can someone please look into this for me as I haven't authorised these transactions, I have contacted my bank and instructed them not to pay any future request for payment. My bank informs me that this may not be as simple as that but will contact me when they have concluded their internal investigations.

Many thanks in advance
