I can also attest to this. I've never set up a direct debit in my life; and today I see that money has been removed from my account from a direct debit that seemingly has arrived out of nowhere, with an amount of £14.55. I contacted NatWest and they just told me to contact paypal support, but they didn't even bother to tell me that a direct debit had been established without my consent. I didn't even know such a thing was possible. Never heard of JP Morgan EMEA branch or whatever is it in my entire life. I am not sure what to think about this. I guess the least I can do is change all my security information. Strange thing is that I go to Nandos regularly and my order costs £14.55. But never does that establish a direct debit on my account. The payment had a payee reference but I don't know what to do with it. Not really sure if my bank account is safe anymore, but it seems this issue is not new for many and has existed for almost a year now. I guess evil never changes.
