I have an unauthorized charge linked to an account I don't know.
does anyone have a direct phone number or at the least a direct email for dropbox. i need to get in contact with them asap and have ran circles around the website trying to find support.

someone is using my debit card for their account payments and i’ve been charged the last 2 months for it. i enter my bank transaction id on dropbox to look up the payments and it is under a user with email [email removed as per Community Guidelines]. i have no idea who this person is nor have i ever heard of this website until i had a charge for it. so in order to report this i have to pay?

Hi mjk3, & T1509, let's jump right into this!
Have you tried to contact Dropbox Support directly for this?
You can visit the Support page while you're not signed in to a Dropbox account, including these forums, and you'll see an option for Billing issues. It's best to use an Incognito or Private browsing session to make sure you're not signed in.
Once you do, feel free to send me the ticket number reference, in order for me to locate it on my end.
Let me know more!

Have you reported this to your bank? That's your first step. Dropbox can't charge your card if they don't have your billing information. If you didn't give it to them, someone else has and you need to contact your bank.
- T15092 years agoExplorer | Level 3No, I just assume Dropbox would be able to sort it as they charged it…. They’ve just told me they won’t refund the charge and have provided me with a random persons email address and told me they’ll cancel “my subscription”. I’ll have to contact my bank, so frustrating though 😞

Its irresponsible to not talk to your bank about it. Your identify and spending are at risk if not.

mjk3 T1509 This is a scam!! Report to your bank right away, Drop Box is committing fraud. Drop Box purposefully has no recourse set up, no email, no phone number, for customers in this situation, so they could do just this- Pull small amounts of money from lots of people all over by sneaking into 3rd party apps illegally, and then, whilst this creates a delay, even if/when they get caught, they still, I bet, will end up stealing alot from the public. Anyone, really. This is a shame. Look how many people this has happened to & all you do is get run around in circles on this forum. Anyone who has had this happen to them should report this publically.
