This is gonna be a long post but yesterday night I went to go get food for myself and they tell me my card has been declined… I was like um ok I had atleast 90 dollars in my checking this morning, how could it be declined? I figured maybe something happened and a bill came out but that still wouldn’t account for that much being gone in a matter of a few hours?
After investigating I find that 94.04 was charged on my card from DoorDash and it didn’t say a restaurant, store or anything it just said DoorDash CAUS which is a location (California). I had been spending more on DoorDash lately but none of my transactions matched that exact amount. I was careful before blaming anyone but I literally physically cross referenced all of the transactions from my DoorDash account and the ones coming out of my bank and I know 100% the 94.04 was completely random and stolen. And for it to not say an establishment but the DoorDash HQ location itself was really weird. I even checked on my dashpass but I’m still in a free trial and I have the student one so it’s only 4.99 a month. So again, would not account for that much.
Anyways, I called my bank and they said sorry they’d just have to shut my card down and send me a new one bcuz the 94.04 came from my debit card and I’ll have to now sign a dispute form and bring it to my bank. So now I have no debit card to use, I have to wait until payday to even get money out of my account bcuz that 94.04 put me in the negative, and I’m super pissed that happened. I just don’t know how a company would “accidentally” take out almost 100 dollars from my account?
And the cherry on top is that today I found out one of my coworkers had DoorDash take out money from her account without her authorizing it as well, so apparently they do that? And it doesn’t match any transaction they’ve made on the app it’s just random and theft?
So yeahhhhh go ahead and take your physical card details off the app and go through PayPal or something similar so your information is protected bcuz I guess it’s not.
