Hi there! I made a stupid mistake of falling for a scam called Shaw Academy. So far I'm only out $40 but I want to make sure that's all I will be out. I signed up for a free trial of Shaw Academy. I found it was a hollow service and had deactivated my account but I still got charged through Paypal after the trial ended. I've reached out to Shaw Academy but have not been able to get through to a single support person. I have deactivated the Shaw Academy automatic payments on my Paypal account, however, after now doing some research into them, I've found people warning that Shaw Academy has been able to charge people's credit cards directly even though Paypal was set as their payment method. Is this something I should be worried of? If I have only provided payment information in the form of Paypal, is there a way they can get my credit card number from the previous Paypal transaction and charge it directly? Thank you.
