On Saturday 20th April i had a email from PayPal saying a payment has been made to justeat so i went on my banking app to check (thinking it might be a mistake) but payment also was showing pending on my bank account as well while I was looking at my account i saw another payment made to justeat and received email from PayPal as well.
I couldn't think anything else so quickly removed my bank card from PayPal to prevent further payments.
I called PayPal they told me change my password and they said they will investigate and refund the money but now they keep saying there's no unauthorised use of my account and refusing to refund me .
Anyone had this experience? Any advice to get my money back.","comment":[{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52635374","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Willy_Wonka"},"datePublished":"2024-04-24T17:02:56.000Z","text":"I know it is not going to help but I always remove payment methods from Uber & Just Eat etc. as soon as I have paid for anything from them.
I also look at the preauthorisation payments on paypal & remove the companies that have partial access.
