1/4 - Is the FUNIENT24 card withdrawal a bank card scam fraud?
'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 FUNIENT24, this means that your bank card has been entered on a website as part of a purchase or a competition for example (some sites ask for bank details under the pretext to send you your 'gift.' Gift that you will never receive since it was in fact a pretext to subscribe to any online service and you withdraw sums every month).
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 FUNIENT24.
In this sense, we cannot consider it a scam in the sense that it is not a bank card hack.
2/4 - What is the origin of the FUNIENT24 card debit?
As explained above, this flow is the consequence of a subscription to an online service.
Our diagnosis: It seems that the CB FUNIENT24 withdrawal is linked to contests such as "Win a smartphone for 1 euro", "You won a trip", "You won cinema tickets" ... How do they work? You enter your bank details as part of one of these contests (to pay shipping costs, prove your identity or other reason ...) and you end up subscribed to any service. The company that manages FUNIENT24 can thus deduct one or more sums from you each month under the pretext of a subscription.
Please note: this direct debit is recurring. Remember to take steps to terminate it so as not to be charged in the next few months.
3/4 - How to stop withdrawals from the FUNIENT24 card?
There are two types of steps to stop direct debits from FUNIENT24 and cancel / terminate a subscription taken out in error:
- 'I would like to take the necessary steps myself': the solution (free)
- Find the website at the origin of these cash withdrawals (= the site on which you entered your credit card details)

4/4 - Can I block my card with my bank to stop the FUNIENT24 charges?
If it is a card fraud, that is to say, if the card has been lost and used by a third party, you can declare it lost with 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.
The legal point : 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.
