Hi can anyone shed any light on this.  I have had money transferred from my bank account to Facebook Ireland through paypal over the last 5 days and I haven't a clue who and what its for.   Help!!

Thanks

They manage to add their self to PreApproved Payments without me noticing or giving approval. Never, not even once I made a purchase on such. How did it appear on PreApproved Payments list no email ragarding it nor confirmation.

Facebook Ireland, Ltd. this was on the list. Shocked

Does this mean they able to hack into paypal or does paypal allow them to enter without notice and access anyones account freely.

@Paypal_John: It's very cute of you to say that "I should have looked in what I was agreeing" there was nowhere clear that this was going to be a recurring payment. Honest merchants make it very clear I have dozens of recurring payments with different service providers, only once a problem, and that one was solved very fast, because that company noticed their info had not been clear. They apologized, made it right, and I am still their client. What Facebook did, and you help them with, is not what I expect from honest merchants. Shame on you! I guess I will need to start looking at small claims, if yáll don't solve this fast.

I came across your forum in a search. I've also had money taken from my account without permission. I'm not sure if it's connected to PayPal though. I noticed money missing from my account when I looked at the details this is what it says on my statement...

FACEBOOK.COM*YWWW3  -£125.18

IRELAND

AMOUNT IN GBP 125.18 EXCH RATE 1.000 

Is this the sort of thing you guys have experienced? I've never given my card details to Facebook or a company in Irealnd! I use PayPal a lot though. I've reported i tto the fraud dept at my bank. I'll let you know if Ihear any thing back

"take a monthly amount from your account and sometimes you can authorise them to take additional payments"

Now, they took 25 transactions or a number around there in a number of days totalling over £500 from my mum.

Surely it's some kind of fraud?

Thank You PayPal John. The most helpful piece of information I have had from a forum ever!!!! Worked a treat.

I also had money taken out of my account to paypal for a scam involving slotomania.  You are told to buy coins as they are free but you get charged automatically on your paypal account. 

You need to go to www.paypal.com.au and log in to your account

Click Profile near the top of the page

Click my money

In the preapproved payments section click Update

Select the Merchant whose aggreement ;you want to cancel and click cancel.

When you download some games when you press I agree you are sometimes agreeing to make preapproved payments.  If you do this it will cancel them.
