Is BetterMe fraud?

• Subscription Fees: Users may sign up for a subscription service intending to access premium features, leading to recurring charges.
• Free Trial Conversion: Customers might not realize that a free trial automatically converts to a paid subscription unless canceled before the trial ends.
• In-App Purchases: Charges may occur due to purchasing specific features or content within the app, such as personalized plans or additional resources.
• Multiple Accounts: Some users accidentally create multiple accounts, leading to duplicate subscriptions or charges if they don’t track which account is active.
• Family Sharing: Charges may arise if they are part of a family plan that includes shared subscriptions, resulting in unexpected billing.
• Billing Cycle Confusion: Customers sometimes misunderstand the billing cycle timeline, leading to unexpected charges if they think they canceled in time.
• Technical Issues: Glitches or errors can occasionally result in charges for services that were not intentionally selected or used.

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

First, try to contact the betterme 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 betterme 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 betterme, 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.
