Is AMAZON AUDIBLE fraud?

• Subscription Charges: Users may be charged monthly for their Audible membership subscription, which provides access to audiobooks and other content.
• Unused Credits: Some customers report being charged for unused credits at the end of their billing cycle.
• Purchasing Audiobooks: Charges occur when users buy individual audiobooks that are not included in their subscription plan.
• Family Plans: Family members under a single Audible account might cause multiple charges if they each make purchases or activate subscriptions.
• Currency Conversion Fees: International users may see extra charges due to currency conversion when they purchase from different regional sites.
• Free Trials: Customers who sign up for free trials might forget to cancel before being charged for the subscription plan after the trial ends.
• Promotional Offers: Participants in promotional offers may see additional charges if they inadvertently signed up for recurring charges after their promotions end.
• Gift Memberships: If users purchase gift memberships for others, they may not realize these transactions are separate and might result in unexpected charges.

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

First, try to contact the audible.es 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 audible.es 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 audible.es, 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.
