If you don't have an account, then there shouldn't be anything in their system linking your credit card or paypal to an account. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/starbucks-scam#post-2409741 Tue, 05 Jan 2016 09:11:14 +0000 Bao 2409741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Shizaz: DH just hung up with them and all they did was delete his email from there system. I'm sure it's nothing but I still worry re: money! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/starbucks-scam#post-2409739 Tue, 05 Jan 2016 09:09:55 +0000 Umbreon 2409739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: I don't think it's a scam unless the emails are asking you to log in - especially since you said you don't have a Starbucks card to begin with. I agree with PP that someone may have used your email accidentally. </p> <p>I would email Starbucks and let them know. They'd be able to verify if the emails are a scam or not too. I find that Starbucks customer service is really good. I would give that a shot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/starbucks-scam#post-2409731 Tue, 05 Jan 2016 09:03:09 +0000 Bao 2409731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: it's from orders...hmm </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/starbucks-scam#post-2409724 Tue, 05 Jan 2016 08:55:37 +0000 rachiecakes 2409724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: it just sounds like someone is transferring balances on the app? I received quite a few giftcards for the holidays and I transferred them all to my regular card so that I didn't have multiple cards on the app I use daily.<br /> Starbucks doesn't have a credit card and they are linked securely, so I don't think you have to worry about bank accounts or credit. To me it just sounds like someone used your husbands email to register either by a typo or some sort of mistake?</p> <p>I have a really simple Gmail account and I get all sorts of crazy emails about accounts I don't have. I started getting one about a kid not being in school every other week, so I called the school (in Maryland) to tell them it was the wrong email address, lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/starbucks-scam#post-2409720 Tue, 05 Jan 2016 08:51:26 +0000 Bao 2409720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: there were 2, one was a transfer and one was an actual order. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/starbucks-scam#post-2409713 Tue, 05 Jan 2016 08:46:58 +0000 rachiecakes 2409713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds like someone was transferring a balance on a gift card to their regular Starbucks card on their app. At least that's the email I get when someone gifts me a Starbucks gift card and I transfer the funds to the main card I use on my app. </p> <p>I don't think it's a scam. Just sounds like someone put the wrong email/typo when they registered their account. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/starbucks-scam#post-2409711 Tue, 05 Jan 2016 08:46:12 +0000 lawbee11 2409711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: I saw this last year. But if he doesn't have a Starbucks card or any bank accounts associated with one then I wouldn't worry about it. </p> <p><a href="http://money.cnn.com/2015/05/13/technology/hackers-starbucks-app/" rel="nofollow">http://money.cnn.com/2015/05/13/technology/hackers-starbucks-app/</a></p> <p>ETA: Check the email address that the emails are from. I'm guessing just spam mail. When I get reload confirmations they are from <a href="mailto:orders@starbucks.com">orders@starbucks.com</a>. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/starbucks-scam#post-2409709 Tue, 05 Jan 2016 08:42:27 +0000 Bao 2409709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH just messaged me and said that he got some emails saying $60 and $95 were successfully loaded to his Starbucks card from card (xxxx) to card (xxxx) but neither one is any of our cards or accounts, he doesn't even have a Starbucks card. I checked our accounts and nothing was taken out but we are still a little concerned...does anyone know if there is some sort of scam going around? What should we do? </p>
