Core Viewpoint - The recent "ghost deduction" incident involving Zhongjin Payment has gained significant attention on social media, where users discovered unauthorized recurring charges of 29.9 yuan or 39.9 yuan without clear explanations on their bank statements [1][16]. Group 1: Incident Details - Users reported unexpected deductions from their bank accounts, with one individual discovering a 29.9 yuan charge on January 7, which was later attributed to a "video membership fee" by customer service [2][17]. - Many users experienced similar issues, with some reporting multiple deductions over several months, often without realizing it until prompted by others [17][19]. - Customer service responses varied, initially refusing to refund past charges until users threatened to escalate complaints, after which refunds were processed quickly [4][5][19].
