I noticed today something odd in my account, I was charged about 10 euros from a company known as Digital river, I never dealt with them before and after a bit or research I found out they deal with digital transactions and services. I have checked all my accounts embedded to paypal and have not found anything related to them - just in case I did so - and really have no clue to how they managed to charge me.
I was wondering other than setting down a dispute, and changing all security questions and passwords, what else should I do? Should I consider my credit card in danger and cancel it? I heard sometimes some frauds charge small amounts before wiping your account clean to see if they get away with it.
Also has anyone else been scammed by these people? What did you do?

Digital river is an ecommerce payment company. They partner with companies like Samsung, Microsoft, razr, McAfee, avast, etc. If you buy from those websites, your charge may show up as from digital river. They also handle subscriptions. A lot of times what happens is people accept a free trial for a product, like anti virus, and forget to cancel and it auto renews. Be careful what you are accepting Again...Digital river just handles the orders and payments submitted by partner companies.

Cancel then???
Check if you had a subscription set up.
Click on the profile tab (icon next to log out) > Click on payments third option along on the thick blue band top of page > "manage pre-approved payments.''

This isn't Paypals fault.
It's the way Digital River Ireland sets up your payments.
If you don't cancel, it will treat it as a subscription and recharge as and when.
Always read the small print.
Log into Paypal account.

Digital river should have gone.

Digital river should be there

Unauthorised payment taken today for £64.99 for a secure VPN provided by AVG. This is not a service that I require or requested. Refund required from PayPal.
Clearly this is a common complaint. Investigation in to the cause required & robust action to be taken against AVG. Scam organization.
