This report is not about SKYPE the legitimate company. This report is about a company which uses the name, "SKYPE 44870835190". I think that I may have authorized this company to take $13.99 from my VISA account each month.
I recieved no services from this company. When I recieved my VISA bill each month I would skim over it to check for legitimate and familar names. SKYPE is of course familar. I thought, "maybe my daughter signed up for this service in my name, this would have been acceptable. I was getting notices from SKYPE that I had an outstanding credit with them. I did not need the service of SKYPE and assumed that this subcribtion fee was accumulating or some such thing.
I paid the $13.99 each month without looking into it. This continued from July 2014 to January 2015. Each month there are several charges on my VISA bill as I travel for my work. With so many charges to check I can forgive myself for missing one fraud.
I called SKYPE to inqure about the credit and cancel my account with them. In checking their records they found that the only costs ever charged to my VISA was one in Nov. of 2013 and there was a remaining credit from that date.
It was then that I relized the company that was taking the money each month was not the real service provider. I reported this to VISA. The only thing they could do was cancell my card and provide a new one and make sure that any company trying to access my account would not be given the new number. That requires a special instruction on my account file apparently. Otherwise the new account number can still be accessed, based on the initial autorization.
Scotiabank could only provide me with the name Direct Mechandizing Communicating (?tions) & Subscribtions Services He also sugested that this company was located in the U.K. He thought the that the number following the word SKYPE on my bill was a phone number but there are not enough digits. He says that is all the information that they have and the original athorization is not available for me to view.
I have no record of authorizing this automated withdrawal. I may have done it myself thinking that I was subscribing to a legitimate service.
I have now cleaned up my mess here after allowing $98 to be taken from my account and I can not recover it unless you see something that I can do. However, how many other people are being ripped off this way. 13.99 from a few thousand accounts is a good monthly paycheck for some crook. Advise people to check their credit card bills closely.
