Groupon will refund any money that fraudsters spent on your account without your consent. Groupon insist that there hasn't been a security breach on its website or app but the firm has said that customers might have had their personal details compromised through other hacks. The items the scammers bought were worth between £10 and £900. One customer who hasn't used their Groupon account for months received around 20 purchase confirmation emails from Groupon on one day. Scammers then use this information to place expensive orders for high-end items such as a holiday, PlayStation 4 and iPhone 6 – one order amounted to more than £2,420.
The scam works by fraudsters finding the login details of Groupon customers from elsewhere and using this to hack into individual user's accounts. Groupon customers are reporting that thousands of pounds have left their bank accounts after fraudsters placed orders in their name. To help you check whether you've been hacked, we're taking you through the details of this scam and how to claim a refund. Groupon users have seen money taken from their accounts after fraudsters used their details to make unauthorised purchases. However, fraudsters are now targeting customers of the site. You can pick up experience packages such as an afternoon tea for two or an overnight stay in a rural hotel. Deal websites like Groupon can be ideal if you're looking for an alternative gift.
