1/4 FIRFTN speed: who, what, why? Should I be afraid of a scam?

The company behind FIRFTN is a website that charges you for services. FIRFTN speeds correspond to a subscription: they are therefore recurring withdrawals.

Concretely, you have undoubtedly entered your bank card on a site to subscribe or simply test a service (adult content, clairvoyance, contests, content such as videos or music in streaming, coaching service, reduction sites ... Online services are very varied).

Is this a scam? YES IF your bank card has been stolen and used by a third party. If you made a purchase yourself, it is not a card fraud. We tell you more below.

2/4 For what reasons am I charged by FIRFTN?

You are charged because you, or a person who had access to your credit card details, entered your information on a website to take out a subscription, or simply buy a trial offer… resulting in a subscription.

It happens that subscriptions linked to FIRFTN withdrawals are not desired by Internet users. Namely: attractive trial offers (as well as other commercial mechanics that involve entering your bank details - for example to prove your majority on a site) very often lead to subscriptions if no action is taken to reverse this.

4/4 Legal advice / banking: blocking your bank card, is it legal?

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. Indeed, the General Conditions of Sale (Terms and Conditions or CGU, General Conditions of Use) clearly indicated that the trial offer was extended by a subscription if the Internet user was satisfied with the service and did not communicate to the company, his willingness to terminate the engagement. This court decision explains why a banker may refuse to block your card if you are the initiator of the purchase.

If you are still in possession of your bank card, it is very unlikely that it is a card hack as explained above: blocking the card would therefore mean not honoring a contract for which you signed up. engaged. We therefore do not recommend blocking your credit card but carrying out the online procedures to cancel the current subscription.

On the other hand, if it is a card fraud (and therefore, if a stranger used your bank details) you can declare it stolen / lost from your banker. You will also be able to open a fraud file to try toget a refund (this point is to be done directly with your bank).
