Is CASUAL PAYMENTS fraud?

• Subscription Services: Customers may be charged for active subscriptions that auto-renew monthly or annually, often without clear reminder notifications prior to charging.
• In-app Purchases: Users might make purchases within the app, such as unlocking features or content, leading to unexpected charges if not properly monitored.
• Free Trial Conversion: Some users reported being charged after a free trial period ended, where the payment was taken automatically if they did not cancel beforehand.
• Account Mismanagement: Confusion over multiple accounts can cause charges on the wrong account, especially if users fail to log out properly or manage their payment methods.
• Promotional Offers: Customers might sign up for a promotional package that converts into a paid plan after the initial period, leading to charges they weren't anticipating.
• Shared Accounts: Users sharing accounts may not realize that usage patterns are triggering charges tied to shared features or upgrades.
• Forgotten Subscriptions: Many customers forget about previous subscriptions they signed up for, leading to charges that they do not recognize on their statements.
• Currency Conversion Fees: International users may see additional charges due to currency conversion fees depending on the payment method used, which can be misleading if not disclosed clearly.
• Account Upgrades: Users who upgrade their accounts for additional features or storage capacity may encounter higher charges than anticipated when the billing cycle begins.
• Support Services: Charged fees for customer support or consulting services that were utilized can occur, often without explicit prior agreement or clarity on costs involved.

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

First, try to contact the casual.pm 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 casual.pm 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 casual.pm, 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.
