Have you noticed a direct debit under the name FAMECHARGE? FAMECHARGE is a website that charges you for online services. These are direct debits recurrent. You are already, or will be charged by FAMECHARGE each month because these debits correspond to a subscription. You have undoubtedly entered your bank card on a website to buy a service or take out a trial offer (on a dating or clairvoyance site? For cultural content such as streaming videos? For coaching … line are very varied).

Is this a scam? If your bank card has been stolen and used by a third party, then yes it is a scam. If you made a purchase yourself, it is not card fraud. We tell you more below.

3/4 Blocking your credit card to cancel FAMECHARGE direct debits: what does the bank think? What the law says ?

What the law says ? : in March 2018, the court of cassation accepted the culpable negligence of a customer who had transmitted his bank details to a fraudulent site. The bank had opposed his requests for reimbursement, accusing him of negligence in the custody and conservation of his personal data of the security system of payment instruments.

This court decision explains why a banker may refuse to block your card if you are the originator of the purchase.

If you are still in possession of your bank card, it is very unlikely that this is a FAMECHARGE hack as explained above: blocking the card would therefore amount to not honoring a contract for which you signed up. We therefore do not recommend blocking your credit card but carrying out the online procedures to cancel the current subscription.
