What to Do If Your Groupon Account Was Hacked

The first step when a financially-linked account is hacked is to contact your bank and/or credit card company. Let them know that your account was hacked and all charges from Groupon are likely to be fraudulent until you notify them again that the account is under your control. This is the best way to both avoid future financial loss and start the ball rolling on reversing the charges for any purchases already made by the stolen account.

It may be surprising, but Groupon does not have an account recovery process and limited mention of hacked account management on their FAQ.

If your Groupon account has been hacked, we advise you to call their customer service line or get in touch through LiveChat. Filing a support ticket or waiting on an email response may be too slow, while a live support agent may be able to help you recover your account even if the hack is in-progress.

Some account hacks are relatively harmless, while others may be the warning shot for a more significant identity theft attack. Because Groupon connects to bank accounts but has relatively low internal security, watch out for other signs of identity theft. Your accounts and finances may be the target of hackers who have stolen your login credentials from a compromised website or business database.

If you are the victim of identity theft, DoNotPay has a comprehensive Identity Theft Recovery service that may be of additional use to you.
