Scams are oftennot generated by Samsung who know nothing. If you clicked a link you have a problem. Contact your bank urgently as they will take the rest of your money. If you can log on do so and block your accounts and update passwords, etc. If money has been taken also, of course, contact your bank.

Paypal is another line of defence. Not perfect as they refused to reimburse me some years ago. However, worthwhile. Especially as it hides your account. Definitely read up on the extra security features you can turn on. Also, if you are prepared to do the work, use a card with limited credit. Even a debit card but that's not perfect as banks don't help much with debit card losses. I am thinking of going back to Paypal as it does help.

"In case this may help someone: my "SAMSUNG SWALBACH" credit card deduction turned out to be my HBO Max subscription, which is apparantly credited through Samsung."

Might be a subscription you have? That's very interesting, they should change the name.
