By subscribing (perhaps without doing it on purpose?), You gave the authorization to the company behind the reference + 44-808-196-4571 to withdraw from you each month.

But I didn't know! I never agreed to subscribe to anything and especially not to pay every month! I don't even use the service I'm being billed for! We believe you. Many Internet users share this reaction! Here is what may have happened: you entered your card numbers to make a payment on a site for ... a trial offer or the cost of shipping a gift or to prove that you are of legal age ... and you have not read the Site Conditions (T & Cs) which specify that unless you refuse, you subscribe to their service.

3/3 Is there a scam behind the wording + 44-808-196-4571? What the law says

Did the company behind + 44-808-196-4571 rip you off? : some believe it is fraud, others consider it legal. In March 2018, the court of cassation ruled. She accepted the culpable negligence of a client who had transmitted his bank details to a fraudulent site. The bank had refused his requests for reimbursement, accusing him of negligence in the custody and conservation of his personal data.

 

As a result, the bank could rely on this court decision to refuse to block your card and / or unwanted direct debits that result from a hidden subscription.

If you are still in possession of your bank card (so not lost or stolen), there is little chance that it is a hack on the part of the company linked to + 44-808-196-4571 as explained above: blocking the card would therefore have the effect of not honoring a contract for which you signed up (by checking the General Conditions of Sale). We therefore do not recommend blocking your credit card but taking the steps to terminate the current subscription.
