Throwaway for obvious reasons, really feeling like a dumb asshole right now, would very much appreciate it if I didn't get any snarky comments as I'm quite low already. So what happened was that I was in a red light district (a legal one in Germany, and I am a US citizen) and decided to enter one of the establishments. It's just me and the hooker in the room and before anything she pulls out a slip of paper that is essentially a receipt/contract I believe, and it states the amount I am paying (100Euro) and I sign it. I give her my card to pay the 100 and she also makes me write down the pin number on that paper I signed earlier and then she leaves with the card and paper to another room. I never got a copy of that paper and she doesn't let me see it again when I ask.
And then so, I leave, and later when I go to check my bank balance, there are like two more charges for $300-400 each, both spaced like an hour or two after I left. So, now I'm here feeling completely fucked over, my bank account is basically empty and I don't know what to do. I've already tried going back there but they claim I paid for more time and basically are completely stonewalling me. I'm also worried because what if they had just used my handwriting and signature from the first receipt I signed to just forge more receipts that back up their side? They have my PIN and could have easily written down the rest of my card's info. I have Ally Bank, do you think I will be able to dispute these charges? If not, what could I do? I really can't afford to lose that much money. Any any any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all.
