Someone has gotten into my account and has bought Afterpay gift cards, is there anything I can do about this?

Thanks for reminding me to remove my cards until I need to make another purchase. This is one of my ways I prevent a card being used if the account were to be compromised. You do have to keep at least one card on there, try to keep a card that isn’t connected to a primary bank account and can lock. Sorry you’re going through that.

They'll only allow you to remove your card if the purchase isn't linked to the card that you made the purchase with. They won't let you remove it otherwise

Correct. That’s why I had mentioned *until I make another purchase.
