Overcharged on Agoda: Urgent Refund Request for Unauthorized Transaction



Hello Agoda,
I recently received an SMS directing me to a screen where I was supposed to make a payment of 7.34 TL. However, after entering my card information, an unauthorized charge of 11,001.23 TL was deducted from my account instead of the intended 7.34 TL. Your company's name is visible on the statement, and I urgently request a refund of this excess amount. I have already contacted my bank, and they advised me to address this issue with you first. I have attached a screenshot of the statement for your reference. As a lawyer, I want to emphasize that I am fully committed to resolving this matter. I am prepared to go to great lengths to rectify this situation, even if it means spending ten times the amount wrongfully deducted. To streamline the process, I want to clarify that I have never heard of your brand before, nor have I made any reservations through your platform. Consequently, I do not possess a reservation number. I implore you to take prompt action to rectify this unauthorized transaction.

This is exactly what happened to me right now. ALL channels of communication with Agoda.com require a Booking number made through a registered email. When fraud is committed using a card, the email used to make the fraud is not the email of the card holder, the card holder has no access to the Booking information. This is completely scandalous. There is no way of contacting the company to report fraud!
