My billing info has been used to upgrade a Dropbox account without my approval

My credit card was used to pay for a different account subscription (email address) I do not recognize. As I only have a basic account I am unable to access customer support.  I would like this to be reversed by your billing department as this is their mistake and not an issue of my credit card being stolen.  Could someone please contact me.  Thanks.

    Hey LHolmes20! Hope it’s OK to chime in. 

     

    For billing issues, we suggest contacting our support team indeed, since we don’t have account visibility on the forum. 

     

    Can you please follow these steps to log a ticket directly with them? Feel free to send me your ticket number here afterwards. 

     

    If you face any issues though, give me a nudge and I’ll log one for you instead.

    It cannot be a mistake. You need to contact your card company and tell them your card has been used. If you did not do the transaction somebody has the card data. They need the card, secure code and access to things like your postcode to do it. 

     

    It isnt a mistake.

      Perhaps mistake was the wrong term for the billing, however this charge was a week ago. I have already contacted the credit card company. There are no other charges or billing issues for my bank account.  I have the transaction 12 digit as well as the email address to the Dropbox account.  Why cant someone open a ticket? This seems to be a common problem, after I read through 2 hours of navigating Dropbox customer service and chat. So yes, I am a bit frustrated.  I have also seen responses to this exact issue that got a ticket opened and a more sympathetic response.
