Suspected fraudulent charge attempt

Suspected fraudulent charge attempt

There has been a suspected fraudulent charge attempt on my credit card from Dropbox but I am unable to speak to anyone about this. I have the transaction ID but the lookup tool is not working for me. Can someone from Dropbox contact me please? Thank you

Hey @rowoo, thanks for reaching out to our us!

If they payment has not been processed and settled on your end, there's no way for us to identify it, I'm afraid.

Do you have an account that recently joined a Dropbox trial perhaps? Because our trials are autorenewing, so that would explain the attempt.

Keep me posted!

Hi @Hannah, thanks for your reply.

 

I have the transaction id (vrlty7d55rhf) and can supply my credit card details. Can you not trace from this information?

 

I haven’t joined a Dropbox trial recently.

 

Thanks.

They have just tried to charge my card under Dropbox*vrlty7d55rhf and Dropboxinc. I have also not signed up for subscription lately. Could this be looked at please?

Hey @kino2, thanks for the nudge here. 

Have you tried searching for the payment through our lookup tool?

Had the same experience and it was the same account: [Removed as per Community Guidelines]. My mobile banking app warned me on Sep 14th about my card being used for a trial Dropbox subscription. Within minutes the same card has been used for a couple of fraudulent payments to Mirosoft, probably by the same individual, so I blocked and then cancelled the card, as it was clearly compromised.

Hi, my debit card details have been used in a fraudulent transaction to sign up for a Dropbox account. I have the debit card details and the transaction code. I have had enough speaking to the bank to help me with this issue. I hope Dropbox can assist me in getting my money back. Thank you!
