1/4 - Is BIZBILLED debit a scam / card fraud?

Your bank statement displays a debit from BIZBILLED: this means that your bank card numbers have been entered on a website.

A case that is often found is, for example, the trial offer on a site which automatically turns into a subscription (meetings, content for adults of full age, coaching, etc.).

Unless you have lost your bank card 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 BIZBILLED . Very often, the Internet user who enters his card for a small offer is not aware of the consequences of the purchase: a subscription with recurring withdrawals.

In this sense, we cannot consider that it is not a scam since it is not a question of a bank card hacking and that the GTC (general conditions of sale) have been checked (most often without being read , that's where the whole problem lies.)

2/4 - What is the origin of the BIZBILLED card debit?

As explained above, this speed follows an internet subscription.

Our diagnosis: It seems that the CB BIZBILLED withdrawal is linked to a subscription to a dating site or other online services. Their operation? You enter your credit card numbers as part of a trial offer and you end up subscribed to the service (this is indeed indicated in the General Conditions of Sale but unfortunately, few Internet users read them). The company that manages BIZBILLED can thus charge you one or more sums each month for this recurring subscription.

Please note: this direct debit is automatically renewable. You must complete cancellation procedures to no longer be charged for the next few months.

3/4 - How to stop BIZBILLED bank debits?

There are two ways to terminate BIZBILLED bank debits and end any current subscription:

- 'I want to do all these steps myself': the solution (free)

1. Go through the billing platform or find the site linked to these debits (= the site on which you took a trial offer): on which site did you enter your credit card details?
2. Once you have identified the site or platform, connect to it with your credentials
3. Once logged in, you will usually find the unsubscribe procedure in the site settings or a contact link to ask your questions.

- 'I do not wish to carry out the procedures alone and I prefer to let a service provider manage the problem': you can go through a professional of the type Sos Internet to help you stop direct debits BIZBILLED:

1. They take care of the identification searches of the company that takes you from you
2. They support you in the termination procedures
3. They send you a confirmation email once everything is stopped
4. Their services are chargeable (and 'effective or reimbursed' guarantees).

4/4 - Can I block my card with my bank to stop BIZBILLED direct debits?

As mentioned earlier, if you are still in possession of your bank card, it is very unlikely that it is a card hack: in this case, you have entered your bank details and have validated the T & Cs ( 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.

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 toget a refund (this point is to be seen directly with your bank adviser).

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.
