Yesterday I found that $20USD was taken out of my account from a company called Content Arcade. When I checked my account I found that I had 'subscribed' to their monthly services and I had already paid them $20USD last month as well. The thing is I do not recall signing up with this company and have never even heard from them. I lodged a dispute with PayPal for an unauthorised transaction but unfortunately, PayPal found that it was not an unauthorised transaction and refuse to refund me. I emailed Content Arcade and they claim that my email address was 'verified' by them and that someone had used the account. This is all news to me. They agreed to refund me but when they claim they had issued the refund back into my account there was no confirmation email from PayPal and the money was not in my account. This process is usually instantaneous. I received this 'confirmation' message from them which I think is fake.
My PayPal account is saying another thing though; no money at all! I think I have been scammed, any suggestions?
