Is AMER SCIENTIST fraud?

• Subscriptions: Customers may be charged for a magazine subscription that they signed up for, which typically includes recurring payments.
• One-Time Purchases: Charges could arise from purchasing individual articles or special publications from the American Scientist website.
• Membership Fees: Users might see charges related to membership programs that offer additional perks or access to exclusive content.
• Incorrect Billing: Some users report unexpected charges due to billing errors or technical issues that resulted in double billing or incorrect amounts.
• Trial Periods: Customers who signed up for a trial that converts to a paid subscription may be charged once the trial period ends if not cancelled in time.
• Automatic Renewals: If a subscription or service has automatic renewal enabled, users may not realize they will be charged unless they explicitly cancel.
• Digital Services: Charges may also come from accessing premium digital content or services provided by American Scientist that come with a fee.

If you see this charge and aren’t expecting it, you have various options.

First, try to contact the americanscientist.org via one of the support methods we listed below and inquire about the charge. See if they will refund it and cancel any associated subscriptions you might have.

If the americanscientist.org refused to issue a refund or you cannot get in touch with the company, call your bank or financial institution and open a credit card dispute. Record screenshot evidence from your prior conversations with americanscientist.org, and use that to open your credit card dispute. Tell your bank or credit card issuer that you do not recognize the charge and do not recall signing up for the service.

If this sounds like too much of a hassle, you can have Chargeback do it for you.
