problem with yahoo
I tried to purchase a hosting plan with yahoo with a prepa 24$ for 3 months .. after I put in my card details they said declined card ..
I called my bank and they told me that yahoo is holding over 24$ in my card in pending status waiting to be withdrawed !!???
I couldn't find any link to cancel my " declined " order and I couldn't even find their support e-mail .. they only put a telephone number over ocean which will surely cost me more than the 24$ + their hold !!
I don't know what to do and I need to find a contact for them

They may be vetting your credit card. Does their toll free number 866-781-9246 not work oversees? Check you spam folder for other emails

If your card was declined, that is your banks fault. Not Yahoo's. As far as Yahoo is concerned, you are not their customer (because you are not). Sounds like your bank is not taking responsibility here.

If a card is declined, sometimes a "authorization" is still placed on the money. It will fade away in a few days, give or take, depending on your bank... nothing to see here. Yahoo did not "fraud" you. Your card was declined, and that is not Yahoo's fault.

Something similar happened to me once. The company weiste said the card was declined, but my bank said the money was waiting authorization, and it was already deducted from my card.
I was worried because the amount was about $250. I went to the bank and talked to a representative, for several days. They were not experienced on online shopping, and didn't actually know what would happen to my money.
Finally they talked to their online payments department, and got informed that any denied payment returns to the account after 10 days. I learned this on day 9. I waited one more thay and the money was deposited back to me.█ Fraud Record - Stop Fraud Clients, Report Abusive Customers.

You need to wait, a "pending" just means its in a hold status, no one will do anything until it's out of pending.
You have not been "frauded" unless this makes it to a completed transaction status, and since this is Yahoo, I'm sure it would be an error rather than an actual premeditated fraud attempt. I'd suggest choosing your wording a little more careful, that's kind of a heavy word to be tossing around with just a pending status in your transaction.
If you canceled, or the transaction is not good in any way, it will drop off of "pending" in a day or two. This is what happens when it's just authorized to see if you have funds to cover the transaction, and happens regardless of if you actually purchase or not. It also sounds like you used a debit card?
I've dealt with this many times, and institutions will simply not touch it until it's out of pending status.
If it does not drop off, and becomes an actual transaction, then you can start the dispute measures. But, you are in a holding pattern until it gets out of the current status.This is the best signature in the world....Tribute!

I agree... I wouldn't call this sort of thing as fraud. More a mix-up on the part of your bank/Yahoo! with the transaction. If you haven't spoken with their billing or support departments, I'd think it's a little unfair to claim fraud.
