Few days ago I transfered some funds to my namecheap account and today I noticed something strange. I had 8$ in the namecheap and today I had 0.36$ which was the left amount I had before the last money transfer to my nc account. After few hours I received this email from namecheaP: Hello, Your Namecheap account was locked due to a chargeback for payment made on 5/20/2008 for the amount of $7.98. Please check the issue with paypal as to the reasons why this happened. In the meantime we were charged a fee of $50 by our merchant processor. You will need to pay us the fee we were charged plus the amount which totals $57.98. If we do not hear back from you within 48 hours we will begin to disable your domains. -------------------- Regards, Tatyana B Fraud Prevention Manager NameCheap.com WTF is going on? Paypal stole 57$ to them? What should I do? They'll desable my domains after 48 hours
Charge backs aren't by Paypal, they're by your credit card company. Dare I say another failed attempt to defraud a genuine company?
Your credit card company or PayPal suspected fraud and took the money back from NameCheap. Namecheap is out $57.98. Contact your credit card company or PayPal to find out why they reversed the transaction. Did you pay with your PayPal balance, pay via PayPal with a credit card, or pay Namecheap direct with a credit card? Did you use a virtual credit card?
nonono. I didn't used anything above My paypal account isn't verified What should I do? I didn't even had 57$ in my account. Had about 12$
As you did not use a credit card, tell them that and that you are only using your paypal balance to pay and thus there is no possibility that you requested a chargeback as that can be done through the credit card bank.
account can be verified by adding your banks debit card or credit card . After verifying account you money limits will also increase .
It really sounds like a good phishing email to me. I hope you did not click on the links in the email. I would go to namecheap and login to your account. From there, you can better see what is going on. Also do the same at paypal.
I can't login to namecheap. It's blocked and they'll desable my domains and I don't have money I didn't did nonthing wrong.
