Windows 10: Unauthorised new charge on credit card

I have been charged $129 on my credit card when i didn't order anything. No-one has access to my equipment. How can this happen? The amount was charged on the same day that my regular monthly subscription was charged.

Credit Card Problem

You are old school as you can just as easily activate a credit card online. Of course they'll be security measures in place to make sure you are you *Wink

• Example: Activate your Bank of America credit card online (Bank of America)

And no, you don't "have to go online" to activate.

 

Newegg customers may have had their credit card information stolen

Yes, credit cards are risky to use on the web, but the ATM debit cards are much worse since the ATM debit cards are directly tied to people's checking account.

If and when a purchase made on/offline, an ACH debit transaction is issued against the credit/debit cards. In case of the fraudulent charges, the buyer can dispute the charges in both type cards. In case of the credit card, the buyer don't have to pay the fraudulent charges, until the dispute is settled.

With ATM debit card, the buyer can also dispute fraudulent charges, but charged amount in question will not be returned to the checking account until the dispute is settled. In another word, the money could be gone from the checking account for 1-3 month.

Some of my friends and one family member who went through the painful process of disputing ATM debit card charges. In some of these cases, the checking accounts had been emptied that caused these people financial hardship. Needless to say that these people no longer have ATM debit cards....

Hi Melonie,

If you are unable to remove the credit cards you've listed under Payments & Billing, try updating your payment method by following the steps indicated on this

link. If that didn't work, kindly retry removing your credit cards after 1-3 days.

Let us know how things goes.
