Payment - scam?
I just paid $10 to Skype via PayPal. The credit showed up and I thought everything was fine. Then i got an email from my credit card company saying an out of country purchase had been made and they were alerting me. the email listed the payment as
Country:
LUXEMBOURG
Merchant:
PAYPAL SKYPE
Is this legit? Does Skype usually bill Paypal thru Luxembourg?
When i bought Skype credit last time this did not happen. Thank you for info regarding this.

Hello and welcome to the Skype Community.
1. Everything is fine.
2. Yes.
3. Always. Skype is registered in Luxembourg and all financial transactions take place there.
TIME ZONE - US EASTERN. LOCATION - PHILADELPHIA, PA, USA.
I recommend that you always run the latest Skype version: Windows & Mac

Beware of spoof paypal payment scam to skype
All,
I've just received a spam email saying that I've made a payment to Skype for £39.00
The link takes you to xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
It makes it look like its come from Paypal but its NOT. Beware
JassHi, Susanaenger, and welcome to the Community,
Please check both your Skype account and PayPal account purchase histories. In the case of your Skype account, check if any subscriptions are still active that you thought were cancelled.
If the charges appear on your Skype account purchase history and your PayPal account, please contact Skype customer service for further assistance. Reading this FAQ article ahead of time will also be helpful: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA10384/why-has-my-credit-debit-card-been-charged-by-skype-when-i-h...
If the charges appear only on your PayPal account, you need to contact PayPal to rectify this and to report the fraudulent charges.

Elaine

Skype got hacked - charged by someone in Taiwan
Found out a charge for $29.99 was made using my paypal to Skype yesterday. Somehow someone got into my account and used the paypal information I had on record from years ago when I used to use Skype to charge money to the account. I haven't used Skype for a long time.
Apparently, there are many others who got hacked as seen in this post:
http://community.skype.com/t5/Payments-and-Billing/Payment-to-Skype-Communications-Sarl/td-p/268842
and the one responded to here:
http://community.skype.com/t5/Security-Privacy-Trust-and/Payment-Scam/m-p/1321876#U1321876
The great thing is that when I go into my account, I can't cancel the subscription so my paypal information will be deleted from my account. In the walkthrough on how to do this it says there is a link called "cancel subscription" under the "change payment method", but there isn't one in mine. It only has the change payment method link.
I would prefer to just have my entire Skype account deleted, but apparently that is not possible (which is total b.s.). Is there any way someone at Skype can delete the payment information from my account for me? I'd prefer to not have my money stolen because your system got hacked.you can visit the link below for suggestions regarding hacked/compromised accounts;

Verizon won't allow me to apply the $14.13 that they owe me on the electronic gift card that they forced me to take as payment. What a bunch of sleazy scammers!!! With all the billiuons of dollars that you guys make, why do you have to scam me out of my $14? I was told by on line chat that i could buy screen protectors with it. Ha! Or redeem it in the store. AT the store I was told I could redeem it online. Why do you guys have to cheat people and make so many hoops to jump through that all I want to do is never use your services again? You alienate me, all for $14. How much am I and all the influnce that i have over my friends and family worth to you guys? Obviously less than $14. FYI, I have started a social media campaign exposing your sleazy business pratcies!!! Thanks!
Have you tried using it for purchase with customer service over the phone. I have used gift cards to pay part of my bill through the phone or online.

PAYPAL INSTANT PAYMENT RECEIVED FROM Angelina Dave - Scam?
Hi.Just got this e-mail whith subject "PAYPAL INSTANT PAYMENT RECEIVED FROM Angelina Dave" from a sale I wanted to make. But there is no transaction pending on my PayPal account.The mail has transaction ID. Has the values but there's a Shipping Charge that I'm supposed to send back through Western Union. Is this some how strange? Thanks!
CAN YOU NOT MAKE DUPLICATE THREADS AS IT IS UNFAIR FOR OTHERS WAITING THEIR TURN IN CONTRIBUTE, ALSO I NOW HAVE TO GO AND TRY AND GET RID OF THEM BY POSTING DUPLICATE THREAD ON EVERYONE !!! THIS IS A TYPICAL PAYPAL SCAM.
They encourage you to use paypal and often ask you to send the item as a gift to a relative somewhere often Nigeria.
You will get/got a "fake" email that looks as though it is from paypal.....it isn't.
It will say the buyer has paid ...you won't have been paid.
They will tell you that the payment is released when you provide paypal with a tracking/shipping number......this won't happen. OR
If the item requires shipping they will tell you that they will pay you extra and you must pay the agent via western union / moneygram BEFORE the funds are released to you.
They are not interested in the item, they just want the western union etc funds and you will never see money in your paypal balance.
They also threaten legal action...have a laugh at that one and ignore it as its rubbish.
Paypal NEVER tell you to send trackable, they advise it for seller protection etc but it is not compulsory.
Paypal NEVER tell you to send an item before the payment is showing in your paypal account.
Paypal NEVER expect you to use a rival money transfer service.

Paypal Scam: Friends and Family Payment for a goods transaction
Has Paypal ever assisted anyone who was scammed by being asked for Friends and Family Payment for a goods transaction?Paypal is very aware of this scam, for the average user the first time they've even heard of this time of transaction is when another member asks for them to send them money in that form. Usually something like "hey, can you send the money as friends and family? I can drop the price a couple bucks since I won't be charged the fee." Paypal can easily eliminate this problem by requiring a person to check a box acknowledging, This payment is not for a good transaction. I am aware I have no ability to dispute this transaction once sent.So why has Paypal made this so easy for scammers?What actions will Paypal take if there is a problem?What are the chances a State Attorney General might take some action to make the two bullet points above happen?
jzajoy1 wrote:lots of people pay through friends and family to a business to save money because most of the time, they're not scammers.

BEST BUY CREDIT CARD DEBT PROTECTION SCAM!! BEWARE
I, like several other BB account holders that have written regarding this same exact issue, have been scammed by the debt protection service - for over $1000.
Upon signing up the the best buy card, I was somehow enrolled in the debt protection service. I certainly did not sign on for this service with any knowledge of doing so, and wasn't "asked" by a rep if I wanted the service.
Very long story short, I had been charged for this service without my knowledge, to the point where I now have paid over $1000 for it. As others have pointed out, I am to blame for not being more diligent in regards to analyzing my electronic statements - but for my extremely busy lifestyle, that is the purpose of auto-pay. I know what my payment is supposed to be, and I trust that is what I will be paying.
Once I realized that I had been charged for this service every billing cycle - I began calling Best Buy regarding this issue. My experience was identical to others who have experienced this debt protection scam. They pass me on to several different departments until I am beyond frustrated and exhausted from talking with all of these people and re-explaining my story over and over. Then in the end they always say that the issue will be looked into and resolved within 30 days. I've gone through many of these 30 day cycles. At an escalated level, they conveniently pass all blame onto Citibank as the single entity that controls the debt protection - so all responsibility is ignored by Best Buy.
I've had a horrible experience dealing with this, and despite all of the calls and promises of it being taken care of, I am nearing the end of my time with Best Buy. They are not going to work with me, and I am going to pay for this service and be done with Best Buy for good.
I'll probably receive a scripted response from a Best Buy "Social Media Specialist" as all of these identical complaints have received - stating in the message body "Citibank, N.A. is the issuer of your My Best Buy credit card account. Due to this, we don’t have access to their accounts". Again conveniently deflecting all call for action to Citibank. And I promise that Citibank and/or Best Buy will do nothing to resolve, or even try and help.
You can say that I'm at fault and have to deal with the consequenses of unknowingly signing up for this service and not analyzing my statements more thoroughly - BUT isn't it interesting that so many others have had this same exact problem with Best Buy Debt Protection? Is it all just a coincidence - and are we all just ignorant people who can't manage their accounts? I believe this Debt Protection is set up in a way to do exactly what it has done to me. To take money from people. Upon doing all of the electronic sign-up for the account, it's convenient to sign up for paperless statements - and if you don't watch closely, they will slip and extra charge in there for you.
For all new account holders - or if you are considering becoming an account holder - BE CAREFUL! Once they take your money they will have no sympathy for your situation, regardless of what it is.Hello edgars-
Credit cards can definitely be a double-edged sword. While at times they allow for greater economic freedoms, they also can cause untold headaches as well. I’m sorry to hear that in this instance, the account protection service on your Best Buy credit card is the cause.
Depending on how long ago you applied for your Best Buy credit card, the option to opt out or in for account protection would either have been a check box on the application or a sign off on the keypad in the store. It’s disappointing to hear that at the time you applied, this particular section was not pointed out to you to make you aware of what you were agreeing to with the card.
As you’ve stated, while the Best Buy logo is on the card, Citibank, N.A. is the issuer of the card and we don’t have access to your account to make any changes or refunds to it. However, it is our goal to try assisting our customers with concerns regarding the Best Buy credit card. If you can send me a Private Message with your full name, phone number, and mailing address, I will communicate this concern to them for review. Generally they should contact you within 3-5 business days of when I submit this information to them. Please keep in mind that I cannot guarantee any particular outcome from that review.

I Yogi is a complete SCAM having already paid for 2 help calls £60 approx I once again had NO SERVICE on my IPhone 4s and was told by their operative that if I paid another £40 for one year cover this would include an upgrade to the IPhone mid August or September. I refused to agree to this and said I would report them to the National Press. Suddenly.... my service was restored. I now want my initial payment refunded and will stop at nothing to get this back.
What is happening here is this: Once you agree to pay for 2 help calls they then at some point disconnect your service and try to get money from you to reconnect. I will report this SCAM to the Media and hope that this SCAM CAN BE STOPPED.
I also blame Apple for allowing this to happen in the first place because when trying to access APPLE HELPLINE you are diverted to this I YOGI crowd of thieves and money grabbers who are operating under the mantle of Apple.
BEWARE.....ONCE YOU AGREE TO PAY YHEIR INITIAL FIRST 2 HELPS THEY THEN AT SOME POINT CAUSE YOU ANOTHER PROBLEM IN AN ATTEMPT TO GET MORE MONEY FROM YOU..... beware of this I YOGI THEY ARE SWINDLERS !!!!!TheArtificialNerd wrote:

Hello Sir/Madam,
I am representing my company to ask this quest, your quick response is much appreicated.
We are making an application for one of our client for Pizza and food product purchased and advertisements. We are trying to implement a payment gateway so users can make purchases using their credit cards. Our client have used TNSI payment gateway on website however we are not sure whether we can use the same TNSI payment service in iOS Application.
Would you please confirm with us whether apple have an approval for using this Gateway service inside the app. Please let us know ASAP so we can make the integration for completing the app.
Also it would be real great if we are suggested some approved and valid payment gateways apple have approved for the apps submitted over appstore as this would help us to use the same services firmly wihtout the appstore rejection issue.

Thanks for you kind reply in advance.

Solutions Architect | Nano Equipment Pte Ltd.What is the appstore rejection issue? It is best not to pay too much attention to what you read on internet media outlets as they are typically full of lies.
Food is the easy part. You cannot use Apple's payment systems for physical products. You must do that yourself using whatever system you have. Advertising is trickier. You talked about pizza and food and then slipped in that little tidbit. Why?
The bottom line is that the only people who get their apps rejected are people trying to scam either Apple or Apple's users. Sadly, not enough of them get rejected. You know if you are trying to scam someone or not. If so, then your chances of rejection are higher. When in doubt, consult Apple's In-App Purchase guidelines. -
CBE collections debt, or phishing scam?
Hello,
I've been a verizon customer since 2006. I've kept the same number, but switched plans twice (from family to individual a couple years ago, and from individual to prepaid very recently). About a month after switching to prepaid, I started getting calls (up to three times a day) from CBE collections group about an outstanding debt from verizon wireless of ~ $35.00. I've always paid my bills online, using autopay. When I checked my online account (which I've had for years), my balance was zero. I've been to both of the local stores, and both told me as far as they could see, my account balance was zero and in good standing. I've called verizon probably half a dozen times (with hold times up to an hour and multiple dropped calls), and talked to both customer care and financial services. Everyone has been very confused, and told me my account is in good standing, and I owe verizon nothing, and they didn't know how to help me. The most recent customer care rep actually told me with certainty that this sounded like a scam to her, and I should block the numbers and report it to the police.
When I've talked to CBE collections, they've told me they can't give me any kind of verification unless I give them my verizon account payment password (!!!). However, they assure me that they are 'not a scam'.
Given my recent plan switch and the fact that CBE collections has a partnership with Verizon, I'm 90% convinced this is actually a legitimate bill that is being handled very badly. I hope it's in fact a phishing scam-- if it's real, I am extremely angry about how it's been handled. I am very seriously considering changing providers.
Under the circumstances, I am hesitant to pay CBE without some kind of verification from Verizon. How do I go about getting a written verification that this is a legitimate debt, when customer care has no information? If it's not, how do I get a written verification that I can use to challenge any damage that CBE has done to my credit score?CBE Group - Debt Collection Solutions
They are a legit company. But I would not give any account password or social security numbers or verify anything with them.
They could be zombie debt collectors or collectors that have no right to your Verizon account.

Dear Itunes customer,
Your Apple ID, was just used to download Flap Flap from the Mac App Store on a computer or device that had not previously been associated with that Apple ID.
This download was initiated from Morocco.

Do you no why apple are saying there is a outstanding payments but the money has been taken from my account
Hi Cristintia,
Just expirenced something similar. After being loyal Apple customers for 10 years I was unable to receive support because Apple doesn't support all products sold in their stores nor do they consider iPhone part of their WiFi support network.
We recently bought an iBaby to use with our iphones as monitors. We have purchased 3 new iphones in the past 2 months. We also have 2 iBooks, 1 imac desk top, and an Airport Express. While trying to install the iBaby the Airport Expressed stopped working. My internet provider told me I needed to contact Apple. After about 40 minutes on the phone, James a senior advisor told me Apple doesn't support any of the current products we have purchased and that I would have to pay $50 for support. After telling me the solution was simple.
Apple support should value their loyal customers. This seems like a scam to me since we have paid support on all our past products and the iPhones we just purchased. This experience has jaded me from wanting to continue being an Apple customer.

Have I Been Compromised? iYogi Scam!
Hi
I did a very stupid thing. In multitasking many issues I needed to talk to Belkin support. I googled them and without paying attention I clicked on the topmost (paid ad) link. Not paying attention I got typical bangalore? tech support. All I wanted was the question How do I log into a router password & ip address answered. The tech was their usually over polite self and said he would fix the issue.
He said he would fix it remotely by logging into my system. Normally I would have said no way but I wasn't thinking. He downloaded a little app onto my system and was able to mess with my system. He needed a password for my router so I gave him one of my many lttle used ones. He kept putting me on hold while he "checked something" I was very careful to watch the screen though. He wanted to restart but I was in the middle of a download from adobe so I told him no. At the end of about 5 minutes he started with a sales pitch of $459 and then took a drop to $169 for a service contract. When I refused and asked him who this company was he said iYogi and tried to convince me they were Belkin authorized TSupport. When I refused to buy, he immediately forced my computer to reboot and then hung up. Upon restarting I noticed that Safari was trying to communicate/log in to something so I basically pulled the ethernet plug. I immediately changed all of my passwords regardless but I feel I may have something aboard my Macbook Pro
1 weeek later my Facebook page is acting weird, loading as text only. When I ran disk repair it gave a time of 1 hour 19 minutes but the bar never moved. Kept seeing Java repairs and some other stuff but when I finally checked permissions had been completed. Decided to run again. This time it said 1 hour 12 minutes but again the progress bar did not change. I did copy some of the Disk repair issues. Can anyone tell from this if it looks like I'm infected?

ps There is a page on the internet about iYogi scam that appears to be made by them singing their praises and blaming in order to reassure people who think they might have been scammedVery distressing:
My recent experience involved stumbling across iyogi when i was in a panick after my computer played up. Thought iyogi was with Apple as that's how it presented in their ad. I allowed them into my computer. All seemed fine at first. They downloaded Mackeeper which showed the bad shape my computer was in. Then came the fee options (1, 2 or 3 yr) ranging from $330 up to nearly $600. I agreed to take the one year and when it was time to pay, they provided a screen for putting in your details. I said to the guy I did not feel comfortable about providing my details on that form and asked if they had P-Pal. He questioned why I would want to use P-Pal and I told him it is the safest way to do transactions as that's what the ads say on TV. He argued that P-Pal is not safe. I still would not agree to putting me details on the form so he put me through to someone on the phone instead and I gave them my Amex card details. Then they said it wouldn't process as the lines went down and asked if I had another credit card. I got a really bad feeling and told them I did not feel comfortable about giving any further credit card information. They convinced me it was safe and said it would be totally secure if I entered using the keypad of my phone instead of just giving them the number. They said the payment went through and the guy said he was just going to do some tests on my computer. I noticed that they put my on hold and did not talk to me while testing which I thought was strange as whenever Apple has helped me remotely they are always communicating with you while their doing things, telling you what they are doing step by step. He was in there for a long time. A screen came up that seemed to have historical data on it. He then finally came back to me and said he was just going to put me through to another guy who was going to fix the problem. By this stage I had been on the phone for nearly one hour. He put me through to the other guy and the first thing this guy said to me was "what's your mother's maiden name?" Right then I knew this was definately dodgy. I asked him what he needed the name for and he said it was for security purposes,. I argued how it could be when i've never given them my mother's name for any reason since being on the phone. When he said that, I told him I no longer wished to go ahead with the service and that I wanted my card refunded. He tried placating me, saying it's ok, there's nothing to worry about and telling me to calm down. The more he talked the more panicked I became. I demanded he reverse the transaction on my credit card. I demanded he get out of my computer and I told him I sensed the company is dodgy and that I was concerned that they have stolen my personal information. He kept pressing me to continue, until I screamed at him that I will be calling my bank straight away to cancel all of my credit cards and to change all of my banking details AND that I was going to contact the Australian Federal Police to report their company. He finally put me through to someone he said would reverse the transaction. It was a woman and she too asked me for my mother's maiden name "for security purposes." I just screamed at this woman. Told her my mother's maiden name is not relevant to anything and that I wanted my credit card refunded. Unbelievable she kept going on and on and on trying to press me to continue with the service and transaction. It was not until she heard me talking to someone on my other phone (talking to my bank) and she asked who I was talking to, I told her it is my bank and now the bank person on the phone will be witness to the fact that you are refusing to reverse the transaction on a service I decided I didn't want. With the bank hearing everything I told this woman I would be cancelling all banking details and changing everything and reporting their company to the police....... It was ONLY then that she agreed to reverse the transaction.
My computer is 5.5 years old. I have decided to purchase a new one because I simply could never feel safe using that computer again.
Very distressing. -
Thank you for scamming my Grandma and lying to me Verizon.
I recived the cool little upgrade your phone and recive a $100 GIFT CARD!!! It was sent to my number and mine alone, despite I had upgraded to a BB 8 months before. So my grandma decided to get into the world of smartphones. From my expirence BestBuy gives you anywhere from $25-100 off from Verizon stores SAME PHONE. We picked ours out and inquireid to the MANAGER of the local Clackamas BestBuy and she assures us they'll send us the code after we activate the phone and it would be sent to the device. Blindly we trust me assuming the manager must be one of the few people that work there who knows something. We wait 6 days and I see we have to buy the phone before the 30th so I figured turning it in ended by then. I called Verizon and the man on the phone assured me we had plenty more time to get it and do it and that the code would be sent to the device (Didn't bother to tell me when it ended even though I called concerned about it ending and not reciving the gift card). So time goes by and between that time I recive 3 new Droid X smart phones because THEY KEEP HAVING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. The time exchanged decreased by 4 weeks between phones because the problems became more and more evident earlier on in the phones use (They also assured me each time I called their "Like New Phone" replacements we're just as good as the new ones.) Each time I took my time sending the package back and EVERYTIME they not only texted me that "I needed to return the device or recive a $500 payment on my bill" to mine AND both my grandmas phones BOTH. So time rolls around and I forget about the trade in deal due to my schedule and hers. I call them for the code (can't remeber the exact date) and ask for my code she gives me a FAKE CODE and sends me on my way. Again more time passes and I forget to do it. I tryed 2 weeks ago to put the code in and I find out its a fake code. I call them again and this time she gives me the REAL CODE but she knows the deal is over and lets me go as if nothing is wrong. Tells "Me oh thats showing up as expired let me do a report for you. I'll call you in two days." Now its today and no call from the lady and I had to call AGAIN she tells me the deal expired and it's IMMPOSSIBLE to get my gift card. They sent the code on the 31st OVER A MONTH after we purchased the phone. They sent it to only ONE of her phones and they sent it to the previous line that she hardly uses WHICH IS WHY SHE UPGRADED THE SMARTPHONE ON HER OTHER LINE NOT THE ONE THEY SENT IT TO. So we missed it due to lying tactics of BestBuy, Verizon by their "trained professionals", and them waitting so long for us to reddem it. THANK YOU VERIZON FOR ONCE AGAIN STEALING MONEY FROM MY GRANDMA. You know how to send a text when YOU need something but when a customer does YOU DON'T GIVE A FUDGE!!!!
P.S. WHENEVER you talk to a Verizon "trained" rep over the phone RECORD EVERYTHING THEY LIE TO YOU ABOUT!!!!!! They got me for the last time.CharmingPhlsphr wrote:
Being misinformed is not equal to being lied to. Asserting that you were lied to indicates that the company is being deceitful for some particular gain. Just as much as when people with say, when downtrodden, that they are just one small customer in the whole company as if to show that they feel insignificant, you are just one customer. Verizon does not gain much by deceiving you; instead, they lose a lot by doing so. More than this, the companies in the wireless industry undergo great scrutiny to ensure that their practices are honest. Saying that VZW is a company of thieves is silly and irrational.
Heh... I wouldn't say that. Then i guess you've never been scammed by a "reputable" company before? Sounds to me like it's a delay tactic indeed, companies do this a lot with time sensitive promotions. A company like verizon could get away with such a thing because they are as big as they are, so your assumption that they would lose a lot is "silly and irrational" because their loss would be negligible and would easilly be written off on their taxes... lol
So, where's the risk or loss? But, they did save $ on the rebate card though... -
Report my ID hacking and payment made
Hi, I'm one of Skype user. From 9th of this month to 10th there ware several payments had been made without my authorisation. According my bank account and purchase history, I've ordered 5 times of auto-recharges service. But I swear to God, I never ordered that, and the money is pending to withdrawal from my account. And also I couldn't find any credit have charged to my skype account, that means I haven't ordered. Please understand my poor English, I tried to explain this situation as much as I can. I hope I can get the solution of this as soon as possible, and if I want to avoid this kind of scam, what should I do?
Hi, David_Yoo, and welcome to the Community,
First things, first: please change your Skype account and payment method account passwords immediately if you have not already done so. Next, contact your payment method issuer to report and block the processing of the fraudulent payments. Then, advise skype by contacting customer service directly.
Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
As you know you wish to contact Customer Service, skip past Step 2 of the instruction and proceed to Step 3, Continue Support Request. You may also skip past in Step 4 where you will be referred back here to the Community; no need to do this as the Community is where you started!

Elaine
