Why Was My Account Wrongfully Charged 89.90 Euros by Megatipp?
Did you check your bank account and find a charge for 89.90 euros? The charge might say it is from Megatipp Emergency Call Services. Many people are reporting this same problem. They do not know this company and did not buy anything from it. Consumer protection groups are aware of this issue and believe it is a scam.
The charge is often linked to a website that sells “precautionary cards.” These cards hold your health data for emergencies. However, the people who were charged say they never ordered a card or visited the website.
How to Get Your Money Back
If you see this charge, you can take action to get your money returned. You do not have to accept the wrongful charge. Follow these steps to handle the situation.
- Contact your bank immediately. Ask the bank to reverse the direct debit. You have up to 13 months from the date of the charge to do this. Your bank will put the money back into your account.
- Send a letter to Megatipp. You should write to the company and state that you do not have a contract with them. Tell them to prove that a contract was made. As a precaution, you should also formally cancel, revoke, and terminate any contract they claim exists. You can use this address: Megatipp Ltd., Turbinenstr. 7, 70499 Stuttgart.
- Make a report. It is not clear how the company got your bank details. You should report this to the State Data Protection Commissioner in Baden-Württemberg. If you received strange phone calls before the charge appeared, you can also report those calls to the Consumer Protection Center or the Federal Network Agency.
By following these steps, you are protecting your money and reporting the company’s actions to the correct authorities.
