Is the URFAVGAMZ bank charge a card fraud type scam?
Have you noticed a bank direct debit from URFAVGAMZ? First point, this means that your bank card has been registered on an online site.
Here are some examples that can lead to surprising and unexpected speeds: a trial offer on a site (clairvoyance, meetings, streaming videos, etc.), a competition game to win an iPhone at 1 euro (or any other attractive object: a tablet, cinema seats…), a foreign e-commerce site which sold particularly inexpensive products…
Unless your bank card has disappeared and someone else has used it to register on a website of this type, there is a good chance that you are at the origin of this subscription to URFAVGAMZ.
In this sense, we cannot consider that it is not a scam in the sense that it is not a bank card hack.
Where does the URFAVGAMZ direct debit come from?
As explained above, this speed follows an internet subscription.
Our diagnosis: It seems that the URFAVGAMZ CB withdrawal is linked to contests such as “Win a smartphone for 1 euro”, “Your tablet for 1 euro”… Their mechanics? You enter your bank details as part of one of these contests and you end up subscribed to some service. The company that manages URFAVGAMZ can thus deduct one or more sums from you each month under the pretext of a subscription.
Please note: this direct debit is recurring. You must complete cancellation procedures to no longer be charged for the next few months.
How to stop URFAVGAMZ direct debits?
There are two solutions to stop withdrawals from URFAVGAMZ and terminate any subscription taken out against your will:
- 'I want to manage on my own': the solution (free)
- Identify the site at the origin of these withdrawals: on which site did you enter your bank card details?
- Once you have found the site, connect to it (if you have a current subscription with them, you have created an account in the past)
- Once logged in, you will usually find the unsubscribe procedure in the site settings
- 'I prefer to let a pro handle the problem': go through a service provider such as Sos Internet to help you stop direct debits URFAVGAMZ:
-
- They take care of the identification searches of the company that takes your money
- They carry out the termination procedures
- They send you a confirmation email once everything is stopped
Can I block my card with my bank to stop the URFAVGAMZ charges?
If it is a card fraud (lost card used by a third party, etc.), you can declare it lost to your banker. You will also be able to open a fraud file to try to obtain a refund (this point is to be discussed directly with your bank advisor).
If you are still in possession of your card, it is very unlikely that it is a card hack: in this case, you have entered your bank details and have validated the GTC (General Conditions of Sale) which informed you about a possible subscription: blocking the card would therefore mean not honoring a contract for which you have signed up. We therefore do not recommend blocking your credit card.
