Scammed by Yandex for €5980, Paypal doesn't help!

Got scammed by an organisation who's pretending to be Yandex Europe AG. This enterprise does exist, but were the money went to, this is a scam!

First of all I've never gave permission (the so called authorization) to pay this "company" (read crooks).

Second of all, when I clicked on the name or url (hyperlink), you end up on a search browser named Yandex (yandex.com).

The amount of €5980 is taken from my account in 4 days, without noticing it, in 19 seperate payments.

And there suddenly was an +44 number (UK) between my phone numbers who gave the authorization and not me.

After a lot of back-and-forth with PayPal (after they made their decision after a couple of hours that they weren't seeing anything wrong) it was clear I was powerless and they left it to my fate.

Also obvious that I never received anything after this enormous amount.

I found the simular problem from <removed>
