Issue with Strato

Hello,

I really need help because I'm confused. I wanted to purchase hosting from Strato, and since then, they have charged me money, but I have no contract. On their website, it's impossible to contact anyone, and the phone number I have, an 00800, doesn't work.

Do you have any advice for me?

Configuration: Windows / Chrome 90.0.4430.93

Hello, I had the same problem with a withdrawal of €20 from this company Strato, but I did not provide my card or my bank details, and I did not contact them to sign up for a contract. I don't know where this withdrawal came from. I tried calling the number listed online, but it is not valid, and all the other numbers I have are also invalid. I will have to call my bank to make a complaint and block the transaction. I don't know what else to do.

I forgot to mention in my previous comment that I have neither received a letter indicating the start of my contract nor an email; I haven't received anything at all.

Exactly like you then, I didn't ask for anything. I don't even know STRATO. The bank refunded me within 8 days. I hope I won't have any other withdrawals.

Hello, I received a withdrawal of 20 euros from this company that I don't recognize. How did you resolve your issue, please?

I had the same thing happen to me, I contacted them by email and they called me back, and apparently the withdrawal of 20 euros does not come from them. It would come from a site called alex-assist that claims to be Strato, but that's not true, and I apparently subscribed to it when my gas and electricity company came by and offered to take out insurance for when our appliances break down and all, except that they don't have that name at all. Strato advised me to block my card and to inform the police department specializing in fraud because I wasn't the first to contact them about this.

Good evening Élodie,

I have exactly the same problem as you; I just saw a charge from Strato for 20 Euros. I also took out a plan for home appliances, but it shouldn't have been that price, so what I understand is that I should block the payment?

No, actually. I didn't sign up; I just entered my email and address.

In the contact section, there is this information:

Your customer number in the Subject line of your invoices sent by e-mail

If you receive your invoices by e-mail, you will also find the customer number in the Subject line of the e-mail. If the invoice is paid by direct debit, you will also find your customer number in the reason for the direct debit section.

I have already looked at all that, I don't have any of that information. Do you know if they have an email or a phone number, please?

When you ordered on their site and registered, did you choose a password to log in?

If so, you need to use your name or customer number and the password you chose:

Alex Assist and Strato are scam artists; these companies need to be regarded as such and shut down.

Hello,

If an amount has been withdrawn, it means you provided your bank details (card or transfer).

Did you receive a confirmation email?

Did you receive your login credentials for your account at Strato?

See the FAQ: https://www.strato.fr/faq/

Thank you for your response

Yes, I entered my credit card, I only have an order number.

I tried to check the site but https://www.strato.fr/faq/ but the form leads nowhere.
