Is Bibliocommons fraud?

• Subscription Services: Some libraries offer premium features or content that require a subscription, which may lead to charges appearing on customers' accounts.
• Library Fees: Users might incur charges due to late fees on borrowed items, especially if they kept books or materials past the due date.
• Purchases of Digital Content: Purchasing e-books or audiobooks directly through BiblioCommons can result in charges being applied to the user's account.
• Print or Copying Services: Charges may also arise from using printing or copying services available through library systems linked to BiblioCommons.
• Account Upgrades: Some users might have unknowingly upgraded their accounts to a paid version, resulting in recurring charges.
• Lost or Damaged Items: Users are often charged for reporting items as lost or for damaged items they return.
• Marketplace Transactions: If the library has a marketplace for buying or selling used books, customers may see transactions relating to their purchases.
• Membership Fees: Some libraries or institutions might have an annual membership fee that can be charged through their BiblioCommons portal.

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

First, try to contact the bibliocommons.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 bibliocommons.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 bibliocommons.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.
