For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I suspect that there are many thousands of people who have fallen for these types of scams (not as extreme as this), where they have unknowingly signed up to some repeat payment authorisation and are not aware of it.
I still receive both my current account and credit card statements in paper-form, and check each entry (money in and out), so I don’t get scammed in this way.
Occasionally I might see a payment that looks strange, but this is usually due to a merchant I’ve paid appearing as a different name on the statement.
I don't tend to pay for apps. Don't feel happy about Play Store having a card number, and don't like the idea of using phone credit to pay bills (that's just bizarre). Definitely not attracted to monthly charges. (In fact, hate the energy companies that switched from quarterly payments in order to hassle and threaten every blessed month. They should go and imitate a duck.)
However a find-a-phone app seems useful. Might be able to find my woman in the supermarkets when she's rushed from one aisle to another, and I'm then looking at ages checking each aisle in turn, trying to find where she's hiding now. (Probably wouldn't work though as "every" supermarket finds it hilarious to have their customer WiFi claim you're connected while admitting that you have no Internet connection.)
