Fraudulent Charge on Credit Card - possible Contabo breach (TBD)

[LeeW]

It would also be nice if Revolut would do a joint account, I am guessing their limited offering is due to what they can do without a full licence.

I do have Monzo and Starling, there are differences, but overall I just prefer Revolut for what I need it for.

But in any event and back on topic. Just don't use your regular accounts to make purchases on the internet when it comes to hosting and other services. Many get by without incident but you appreciate it when it does happen and the impact is next to nothing.

Today at 12:54 PM I received a text and email from my bank Dear Customer, PKR 64,904.92 ($210) has been debited at 17:49 on 01-Jan-24 about the purchase that I had not made. I contacted the bank to be canceled this transaction but my Bank Meezan Bank is very bad they did not care about it . I logged into my bank and changed my login credentials for safe measure and blocked my Card. The reason why I suspect Contabo has been breached is because of the following:

1- The Debit card I got charged on is the same I use for my Contabo plan.
2- The fraud charge is $210 while my Contabo monthly plan is $8.49.
3- Both charges occurred within 3 hours of each other (the fraud charge happened before the legit Contabo one, hoping I'd approve it without checking twice).
4- The fraud charge happened I contacted Contabo but they changed my Email Account on my Contabo Account and also password. It is obvious that Contabo intentionally did this Fraud transaction by itself. They even not responding and replied me that they can't help. Soon after this fraudulent transaction I got another email from contabo that The e-mail address of your account was changed successfully.
If you did not perform this change please contact our support team immediately!
Best regards,
Contabo support team
but they have not motioned new email address also they have not responded me yet. It means all the things were done intentionally by the Contabo Team. They are fraud People. Please be aware before you add your card on Contabo. They are 100% Fraud.

Is anyone else in the same boat? Check your credit cards!

@usmanmalik thanks for your comment, but it's best if you post this in Contabo forums . Just rechecking in case there is a confusion, this is the Cloudron forum which is totally separate and has no relationship with Contabo .
