Is the DONTSTOPTRACKS bank charge a card fraud type scam?

 

Your bank statement displays a debit from IDEALBUNCH: 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 IDEALBUNCH .

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

 

Where does the DONTSTOPTRACKS direct debit come from?

 

As explained above, this speed follows an internet subscription.

Our diagnosis: It seems that the CB DONTSTOPTRACKS withdrawal is linked to contests such as "Win a smartphone for 1 euro", "Your tablet for 1 euro" ... Their mechanics? You enter your bank details as part of one of these contests and you end up subscribed to some service. The company that manages DONTSTOPTRACKS can thus deduct one or more sums from you each month under the pretext of a subscription.

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

 

How to stop DONTSTOPTRACKS direct debits?

 

There are two solutions to stop withdrawals from DONTSTOPTRACKS and terminate any subscription taken out against your will:

- 'I want to manage on my own': the solution (free)

1. Identify the site at the origin of these withdrawals: on which site did you enter your bank card details?
2. Once you have found the site, connect to it (if you have a current subscription with them, you have created an account in the past)
3. Once logged in, you will usually find the unsubscribe procedure in the site settings

- 'I prefer to let a pro handle the problem': go through a service provider such as Sos Internet to help you stop direct debits DONTSTOPTRACKS:

1. 1. They take care of the identification searches of the company that takes your money
   2. They carry out the termination procedures
   3. They send you a confirmation email once everything is stopped

 

Can I block my card with my bank to stop the DONTSTOPTRACKS charges?

 

If it is a card fraud (lost card used by a third party, etc.), you can declare it lost to 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.
