Is the STREAMBLENDY direct debit a card fraud scam?

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

The cases that we often find: a trial offer on a site (games, clairvoyance, meetings, streaming content ...), contest that gives you the impression of having won a smartphone at 1 euro (or all another attractive object: a perfume, cinema tickets…), e-commerce site (often foreign) which sells products, branded or not, particularly inexpensive…

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 STREAMBLENDY .

In this sense, we cannot consider that it is not a scam in the sense that it is not a bank card hack.

What is the origin of the STREAMBLENDY bank debit?

As detailed above, this card debit follows an internet subscription.

Our diagnosis: It seems that the CB STREAMBLENDY withdrawal is the consequence of a subscription. You don't remember having taken out a subscription for an online service? Perhaps you did not directly enter your bank details for a subscription but rather as part of a competition such as' you won a smartphone for 1 euro 'or' receive a tablet by simply paying the fees Delivery'. This kind of commercial mechanic is very common and aims to collect your banking information to subscribe to a service and withdraw money from you each month.

Namely: this direct debit is recurring. You must complete cancellation procedures to no longer be charged for the next few months.

Can I block my card with my bank to stop the STREAMBLENDY 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.
