I've had that before, not a nice feeling at all.  Apparently I'd purchased 3000 euros worth of carpets or rugs in Luxembourg on my debit card.  Err, no!

They refunded either the same day or the next day which I thought was pretty cool.   I hope you get your cash back!

Must be frustrating, hope you get some resolution.

It's gonna work out.

I feel this is the most empowering thing about cryptos. As long as your keys are secure, *no one* gets to randomly take your money. Ever. This truly makes your money belong to you and no one else.

Wow man, that’s rough...I’m sorry to hear that😕 I hope you get your money back🤞🏾I have some friends where stuff like this has happened to them before. Personally, it’s never happened to me though.

Will blockchain make this situations better or worse?

damm hopefully they credit it back and never repeat this kind of stuff

It happens a lot more these days than you would think.  Actually, I think it is pretty much an everyday occurrence.  Not for me personally, but for someone in the world.  So much so that a lot of the companies don't even make you fill in a form anymore.  You just call them up, verify your ID and then tell them you didn't pay for whatever.  I had an incident the other day where I used my card in two cities that are two hours apart in the same day. After the second city they put a hold on my card and I didn't find out until two days later.  They were just trying to protect me, so I didn't mind, but it was still an inconvenience.  I hope they get everything all sorted out for you.

My most inconvenient moment is my Debit card expiring on me for the Christmas Holiday, I was stranded and got abit desperate. I also had to deal with the fact that both the bank and card company had its replacement fee plus the annual deduction fees for use of the card. Its not easy but these are the things one have to put up with at times

Youch, that sucks. Sorry to hear. I know how you feel, I had customer support refuse to credit over $1400 worth of Bitcoin the other day - I wrote a post here about it and they responded and eventually fixed it when I submitted it on Reddit.

Hopefully it's an error on their part and they'll undo it. If it works out fine, it still sucks that they can just take money from your account on their own initiative. Crypto push system is preferable to banking pull system.

That is kind of scary, I hope that it's quickly resolved and you get your money back.
Now I have to check my credit card if there is something wrong with it xD

This situation scared me, I went immediately to check my bank account, thankfully everything was as supposed to.

Lucky you had money with you.... I can only imagine your face/reaction!

A similar thing happened to me about a month ago only it was a smaller amount. I bought a couple of ice scrapers for my wife and I for around $20 USD from a vendor, paid with a credit card, and I discovered two months (and two credit card charges) later the vendor set me up on automatic reoccurring payments (even though there was no reason to do so -- even Minnesotans don't need a new ice scraper every month.) In the end all was good, my credit card company reversed the charges but it leaves me wondering...how many people don't notice this on their statements and continue paying the fraudulent charge?  I hope you don't have too many problems getting this sorted out.

Those lovely third parties I guess, but don't worry, we'll use crypto one day :)

But this how old  banking system works :)) ... Take and not say nothing why they was take it.... and if you have not used this cart a week or 4 weeks  they have ben happy and sayd in in the office to each other that it was a good deal :)

That's fiat for ya...

That's why I hate renewals the only ones I have is for internet and utility.  

I did something for free on the internet too with a creditcard but I got screwed every few hours an euro till my prepaid run out. I searched it and stopped it but never got the money back.  It wasn't that much though.  If I  need something I just put it on there.

Ouch!! I had similar once. They took money for a computer I had never purchased. I got it back in two days I think. They do seem quite good that way!

An empty bank account. Did you convert too much into SP? ;) 

Hope it all works out. Typically CC-companies help you out with that stuff. Good luck!

I have seen this too many times and have heard of horror stories of kids with substantial amounts of debt due to identity theft!  Institutions seem to be good with resolving and giving back the money but consider that it takes time invested to resolve in addition to the bad experience but also they ultimately chargeback the merchants which ultimately loses if they indeed sent or sold the product.  Shows the strength of blockchain technology!
