Scam

[gates]

Has anyone else had a company called Themindrest. Try and take £49.99 from there card . This is their second attempt. Has anyone heard or know of this company.

If you haven’t used them or a parent company I’d be concerned… it could be a scam
Contact your bank asap

Did someone sign up for courses with them? It's easy enough to google to find the website. I'd be contacting the bank as it may be the card has been compromised. If the card can be switched off through bank app, I'd be doing that in the meantime.

I have tried to go to there website and phone number but it is impossible. It’s second time they have tried this. They do it through apple’s website but i didn’t authorise it so hopefully it won’t work again

I'd still be contacting the bank and turning off your card if you can/remove card from Apple in the meantime.

I had a similar scenario couple of weeks ago when someone signed me up to Amazon Prime. Definitely not me, I was in bed at the time. Amazon password changed, card removed from Amazon, and awaiting their investigation team getting back to me. Luckily there wasn't enough money on the card so no money taken, but a couple of attempts made by Amazon. I had forgotten to remove card when I'd bought something a few weeks before, I usually do, as I don't trust websites keeping my card details. No further attempts have been made on the card.

I was contacted by my card company. I have frozen the card and using another card. When they tryed 2 weeks ago they didn’t succeed. It’s pending at the moment so hopefully same thing happens this time. Fingers crossed

Thanks for the update Gates, fingers crossed. Always good to have more than one card to use here for such scenarios, or being eaten up at an ATM.

Couldn't agree more. I lost a card, had it stopped then a new one sent to my "address" in UK, when I had to find someone coming back to TRNC to bring it. Fortunately I had two other cards here. Twice I've had an ATM eat a cards up but got them back. Went into the bank, told them what had happened, one bank wanted to see my passport and one was OK with driving licence. They pulled open a drawer, where there were at least 15 or more cards, One bank, handed back immediately, the other asked to see a statement to check on account number. All quite painless really.

Well they managed to get the money. Contracted my bank and submitted a despute so let’s hope they can sort it out. Don’t forget to watch out for Themindset. The areoles. Like to know were they are

[alphamike]

Oh heck Gates, not good news there. Hope the bank sorts it out for you.
