Is ACCESNET INFO debit a card fraud scam?
'I see this charge on my account and it comes back every month. I have no idea where it came from, so I don't know how to stop it. ' : if you take a debit from ACCESNET INFO, this means that your bank card has been entered on a website as part of a purchase of the type 'trial offer for a service' (some sites ask for contact details banking under the pretext of having you test their service for a few hours or a few days, or even to prove your identity or majority.).
Unless your payment method has disappeared (lost or stolen card) and a malicious person has used it to register on a website of this type, there is a good chance that you are at it. origin of this operation and therefore of this subscription to ACCESNET INFO.
In this sense, we cannot consider it a scam in the sense that it is not a bank card hack.
What is the origin of the ACCESNET INFO withdrawal?
As explained above, this flow follows an internet subscription subscription.
Our diagnosis: It seems that the CB ACCESNET INFO withdrawal is linked to a subscription such as 'subscription to a dating site' or even 'subscription to an adult content site'. You enter your bank details as part of an attractive trial offer and you end up subscribed to the service. The company which manages ACCESNET INFO can thus deduct one or more sums from you each month under the pretext of a subscription.
Attention: who says subscription, says recurring direct debit. If you no longer wish to be withdrawn, you must absolutely complete the cancellation process so as not to be withdrawn in the coming months.
How to stop ACCESNET INFO direct debits?
There are two solutions to stop withdrawals from ACCESNET INFO and terminate any subscription taken out against your will:

Can I block my card with my bank to stop the ACCESNET INFO bank charges?
If it is a card fraud, that is, if the card has been physically lost and used by a third party, you can report 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.
What the law says ? : in March 2018, the court of cassation accepted the culpable negligence of a customer who had transmitted his data to a fraudulent site. This is the reason why a banker may refuse to block your card if you are the originator of the subscription.
Accesnet.info is a fraudulent site: I just experienced it. For free use of their services, for two hours, you will be asked for your bank card number, which will not be debited by € 49, according to their formula, until after these 2 hours. If before these 2 hours you cancel your membership, nothing will be charged. Then the service operates the same direct debit every month, as long as you maintain your subscription. But no sooner had I entered my credit card number on their form, they attempted to withdraw € 49. My bank being informed, contacted me immediately. And I was able to object, all within the hour that followed. To tell them my dissatisfaction, I contacted them by phone call, but I was very poorly received. Above all, never leave your bank details.
I just had the same mishap and now know this is a disguised scam.
I had this site on the phone I was hung up because I refused to give my 1st and last credit card digits.
