Discovery *****.

Unknown withdrawals was made on my credit card. I reported the *****. Every time the 1st line consultants - who are very helpful - have put me on hold and said they will have to investigate the case further. No one called back. I then asked to talk to a supervisor . He was quick to tell me that I have approved the transactions - which I did not. He directed me onto a In-App Authorizations page - which I initially could not find om my phone - and was told he can see I am battling to find the page, he will arrange a 30% payback of the money. On this In-App Authorizations page was no approval of the transaction. When I checked 2 hrs. later there was approvals. The same "approved" request was made several times even after the "approved" was indicated showing" expired". After several attempts to get hold of this supervisor I was told 3 times that he will call me back as soon as he is back at his desk. This is now 2 days later. No call. What happened at Discovery??? Very sad.

Hey Delius

There is a current ***** case opened on your profile, with an investigator assigned to it. Your case is still under investigation, please note that ***** cases do not have an exact turn around time due to the different parties involved in the investigation.

Once there is feedback, the assigned investigator will reach out to you.

Kind regards,
Mpho.

Hi Delius.

Due to security reasons the investigator would send you an email or call you with the feedback, not a WhatsApp.

Kind regards,
Mpho

Without calling me a decision was taken to pay me back 30% of my lost. No communication with the investigator. I am beyond disappointed with Discovery. I will fight this till the end. I did not approve any purchase .

I have seen the explanation. That is why I am mad.
Why must I lose money for a transactions i did not approve. This is very scary. Please explain all the requests that was made...even after the so called "approval " was made. My fight with Discovery has just started. Watch social media .I want to discuss my situation with the Head of Discovery *****. This can happen to any one.
