My debit card was used without my permission by all things an online gaming company in another country. It was a great game lots of people online around the clock because of the time difference, then suddenly the company closes. They had my debit card on record because this was one of the games that charged a monthly fee and I freely gave it to them to charge. Months after the game company closed my bank called and said my account was in overdraft protection. I went down to the bank ,saw the amount, where it was being sent and the name they used to charge monthly fees which was different than the game/company itself. So the company had remained charging me and who knows how many other people the monthly fee knowing full well no one was going there to contest it. New card and a lot smarter later nothing like that has happened again.
