Is CardShield Subscription fraud?

• Subscription Services: Customers may have unknowingly signed up for a subscription service that automatically renews, leading to recurring charges.
• Free Trials: Many users reported being charged after the completion of a free trial period, as they forgot to cancel before it ended.
• Additional Services: Charges may arise from additional services or features that users opted into without fully understanding the costs involved.
• Third-Party Transactions: Some users found charges related to third-party services or purchases they made that were processed through CardShield.
• Account Security Services: Charges might be for identity theft protection or monitoring services offered by CardShield.
• Unauthorized Charges: Some users have reported unauthorized transactions, suggesting potential fraud or misuse of their card information.
• Billing Errors: Mistakes in billing could lead to unexpected charges that customers did not anticipate.
• Multiple Accounts: Customers sometimes forget about multiple accounts they may have created, leading to charges from an inactive or forgotten subscription.

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

First, try to contact the cardshield.me 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 cardshield.me 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 cardshield.me, 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.
