Block payment to Safe cart

[Garyt6771]

I would like to block payment to SAFECART 8773709229.

I have informed SAFECART i have cancelled my subscription to them as i have never used them.

So if they ask for payment please refuse payment.

Regards Gary Taylor (Garyt6771)

Hello, thank you for this. I got an email today about safecart renewing my subscription to speedypc pro. I have never bought anything from safecart or speedypc, so I think it was a scam operation. On november 2012 i was charged for 39 dollars and I never notcied until the renewall email. 

Hope this does not happen again.

I am glad this was helpful. Safecart, along with the "merchants" they process payments for, originally stated they could not locate my transaction. However, once I explained that if they could find my PayPal information to charge me, but could not find it to credit me, I would have the chargeback process assist them I received two things: a refund in full, (a Christmas miracle! They located my info after all!), and a nasty letter from something called spark trust, or trust spark, whatever, telling me that I had purchased something from them with an annual renewal, and they had informed me of same by email. I had never heard of this company, never purchased anything from them, and had received no such email. This is a common "blame the victim" response from these reprehensible kinds of scam artists. Don't fall for their nonsense, and again, please report them to the BBB and Ripoff Report. It's not the ideal solution, but it does help others. Also bear in mind that these "merchants" are fined $25.00 and up for each chargeback your bank processes against them. The best revenge is...revenge! 🙂

After purchasing some "Driver Update Software" and paying with PayPal, I was informed that the charge would show up as www.safecart.com. Too bad I didn't know safecart was a scam before purchasing. I have followed the steps suggested by "Gary" to cancel. I think it is because I don't have a subscription and it is a one-time payment. How do I cancel this payment to Safecart?

I blocked payment from paypal, and now they are taking the money from my checking account!

How on earth do I get out of this mess?

Why does Paypal even allow these bogus recurring payments? Why do they allow recurring payments that are not set up, or authorized, directly by the Paypal account holder?

Only the owner of the account should be able to authorize recurring payments. PayPal should should ALWAYS notify the account owner of any new recurring charge request AND ask for the account holder's approval for verification. My order was hijacked. A screen popped up asking if I wanted to use Paypal. It said NOTHING about Safecart or any recurring payment. I only knew that it wasn't Paypal because it didn't send me back to the purchase screen and it looked different from what Paypal usually looks like. But that was after I put my password in to go to Paypal.

I immediately went to paypal and filed a dispute and changed my password. Within minutes. That should be enough to stop them but I happened upon this blog about safecart and discovered the instructions about the page in Paypal that has Safecart authorized to take more funds in the future!! Thank you Paypal_Lucy for that tip....but that is totally wrong. Paypal needs to add a layer of security in the recurring payments. A verification should be required from the account holder. Paypal shouldn't just save them in that screen. Doesn't leave me feeling too secure about Paypal anymore.

Thanks for these instructions - the were exactly what I was looking for.  

I'm completely horrified that sellers are allowed to set up recurring payments without the buyers express permission. Direct debit is so much more civilised.  What can you do about it Pay Pal.

This seems exactly what I'm searching for.  But the info is either out of date, or not regionally valid.  Can someone please post an update that is also valid for U.S.A. users?  Thanks very much!

Hello,

My subscription has already been cancelled with JVzoo yet they still manage to debiit large amounts from my account which they have now refunded but my balance is still short because the first refund they awarded still has not appeared into my account. I am still waiting for this fund.

I would like to block them from taking further payments from my account because I am becoming truly concerend as theae payments are being made without my concent.
