Hope you get it sorted, I'll imagine they will just admit a mistake was made and refund you  :smiley:

My thoughts would be to contact the seller and see how you get on.  If they are difficult to get hold of or don't play ball then contact the card issuer and advise them that you do not recognise the transaction and most certainly did not authorise it.  Banks don't fcuk around and they will drag the money straight back from the seller regardless and then worry about sorting it out later.

That should spur the seller into action quite quickly.

They have no record :surprised: :confused:

I'd give them the 30 mins and then ring back. If no joy then i'd hang up and call the bank straight away.

Am I missing the name of this company? or are you protecting their identity for now?

If they have to be avoided it would be good to know who it is.... :drinking:

I have recently been the victim of a banking fraud and I can assure you that the banks will react quickly to protect their interests and if you tell them you've not authorised the payment they'll drag it back from the company via the Visa/MasterCard network.

At this point I don't see a need to name the company - It's a matter between the OP and them.

after being put on hold i got transferred, reminded them who i was and that i called an hour ago..

"yup just sorting it now i'll call you in a minute" [click]

:confused:

er.... hanging up on me does not inspire confidence and if their version of a minute is anything like their version of half an hour i could be waiting a while  :fighting2:

i'm a patient guy though, i'll give them some time

I'm patient like you but I'd give them 30 more mins max!!!

Then i would be straight on to the bank.

Hope you get it sorted quickly mate :happy2:

paying over the phone for things like this is always going to be a trust issue regardless of who you buy from but ive never encountered this sort of thing before, thats why i started a thread so people could see what happens and hopefully learn from the results.... or my mistakes  :grin:

...anyway 20 minutes gone, no call.

calling at 10:35 for the last time for an answer, then it will be the bank next  :popcornsoda:
