Is AV Billing fraud?

• Subscription Fees: Users may inadvertently sign up for a recurring subscription that charges them monthly or annually.
• In-App Purchases: Charges can arise from purchasing premium features or additional content within the service.
• Trial Period Charges: Some users report being charged after a trial period ends, even if they believed they had canceled.
• Multiple Account Confusion: Customers may have multiple accounts and not realize that they are being billed for services on a different account.
• Services Used: Charges can be linked to using specific features, such as streaming services or downloading content, which may have associated fees.
• Hidden Fees: Some users have mentioned unexpected charges that weren't clearly outlined at the time of transaction.
• Automated Billing: Automatic renewal settings might lead to charges that users are unaware of if they didn’t read all terms of service.
• Currency Conversion Fees: For international users, charges may come with additional conversion rates that lead to higher costs.

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

First, try to contact the av-stream.com 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 av-stream.com 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 av-stream.com, 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.
