Storm Media Limited, Fraud?

As I was going through my receipts for taxes I noticed an entry on my PayPal for Storm Media Limited for last July. I order art instructional videos often, but I could not find any other info for this. I was charged $24.92.

Has anyone else had problems with Storm Media Limited? I didn't get whatever this company said I ordered. I don't know what it is.

I would like to warn others that this could be a fraud.

How is this company dissolved when it's still doing business and taking peoples money for items being sold through different media sites? Interesting!

I created a PayPal account simply to purchase one book. I have no problem with that order.

The problem I have is that on the same day, I was charged double the amount I paid for the book by STORM MEDIA LIMITED who I have never heard of until now, and who I have never ordered anything from. Proof of this is that in my PayPal account there is only the one order I placed and for which I created the account in the first place.

So, here are my questions:

Who the hell are these people? 

How did they get access to my bank details to charge me €36.94  for nothing?

Why is this happening through PayPal?

Is PayPal going to reimburse that money, as I only authorised THEM to charge me €16 euros for a book that has nothing to do with STORM MEDIA LTD?

I have contacted PayPal and the reply I got was to go to the claims sections and make a complaint on the order I'm having a problem with. The problem is, I didn't place the order, so it's not in my account.

They charged me 3 times $20.91 and 1 time $15.98. I did not even order anything. PAypal denied my case. Filed another one for item not recieved but paypal only let me do 1 claim not all 4 of them.

If you funded your paypal payment via a card then contact your card issuer for a chargeback.

In addition I filed a claim with paypal. I was traveling the day in KY with no internet connection. My i pad is only on wifi so it could of not ordered anything on it's own while in my travel bag. The claim got denied by paypal. Then I got a tracking number from a Canadian location that never excisted all it had was number that did not lgive a result.I had no idea that I shoud of not accept it. Paypal is obviously aware of the frauf of this compay and goes not stop it. Very sad.

Thank you for your help. I followed your advice and found an email address for them so I sent an email enquiring after the product order. If I don't receive any communication from them then I will file a claim.
