1/4 Which company withdraws money from me under the name SOCITH? Should I be afraid of a scam?

SOCITH withdrawals are the result of a subscription. SOCITH debits you sums of money because you have subscribed to an online service (meetings? Contests? Clairvoyance sites? Video sites, series, games… there are tens of thousands of sites that offer subscriptions to access their offers).

Am I the victim of an online scam? This is fraud IF someone has stolen your bank card and made purchases without your consent. If you still have your card, there is a good chance that you were the originator of the initial purchase which resulted in the SOCITH withdrawals.

But I do not remember at all having agreed to pay a subscription! This is a remark that we often read in your messages. Here is an explanation: maybe you entered your card numbers to buy a trial offer, participate in a competition, pay the shipping costs of a 'gift'… and you did not take the time to read the Terms and Conditions, Conditions of Sale of the site which indicated that unless you refuse it, you subscribe to their service.

The essential in this area is sos-internet.

4/4 Blocking your card to stop SOCITH direct debits: what do bankers think?

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 (GTC) 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 desire to terminate the engagement. This court decision explains why a banker may refuse to block your card if you are the originator 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.

Fraud point: of course, if your card has been stolen from you and you are therefore not at the origin of the purchase, contact your bank as soon as possible. In some cases, you will be able to open a fraud file to try toget a refund : this point is to be seen directly with your bank or your card issuer (Visa, Mastercard…).
