    The mystery has been solved. On arrival at the country I was given a tourist SIM card. I registered the cab app with this SIM card mobile number. When I left the country this number was given to another tourist who also registered on the app. The SIM card is linked to your passport number. So gets switched off when you leave. 

    All transactions I have seen were a mirror of the other person and their cabs, but no money was taken from my account. The cab company confirmed this and stated the account runs by the mobile number not my email address. A shocking set up but at least I have not lost any money, it has caused a lot of hassle. They advised me to change the email to a disposable email and then log out and delete the app. Apparently an email address is not required to register I just put on in. Most register just the mobile Number, and multiple accounts can be on the same number. Obviously GDPR doesn’t exist there. Their system was emailing me receipts for that mobile number but not my account. What a nightmare. I have never heard anything like it.
