Is AUTOCARE SUBSCRIPTION fraud?

• Membership Fees: Many users have reported automatic renewals for memberships that they may have forgotten about or did not realize were set to renew yearly.
• Subscriptions: Users might subscribe to newsletters or updates and inadvertently sign up for paid services or premium content.
• Training or Certification Programs: Charges can arise from enrolling in courses or certification programs provided by Auto Care Association, which may have additional fees.
• Event Registrations: Users may register for events, workshops, or training sessions that have associated costs, often not clearly communicated during registration.
• Product Purchases: Some may buy products or resources offered through the association’s site, leading to unexpected charges on their payment methods.
• Trial Periods: Users may unknowingly sign up for trial periods that convert to paid memberships or services if not canceled in time.
• Billing Errors: Some users have experienced double billing or erroneous charges that stem from system glitches or user errors during the payment process.

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

First, try to contact the autocare.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 autocare.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 autocare.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.
