Is CM Retail fraud?

• Grocery Purchases: Customers might see charges for groceries bought either in-store or online, including delivery fees for online orders.
• Subscription Services: Some users may subscribe to services like meal planning or delivery which come with a recurring charge.
• Special Events: Charges for special events or classes (like cooking classes or tastings) hosted by Central Market can also appear on billing statements.
• Membership Fees: Some forums mention that customers might have a membership program that incurs a fee, which they might not recall signing up for.
• Promotional Sign-ups: Users might sign up for promotional services (like newsletters or exclusive offers) that could come with hidden charges.
• Unrecognized Transactions: Customers have reported misidentified purchases or transactions that are charged under Central Market's name but are related to third-party vendors or services they used.
• Gift Cards: Buying or redeeming gift cards can also lead to charges, particularly if a large amount is loaded onto a card, leading to unexpected costs.

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

First, try to contact the centralmarket.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 centralmarket.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 centralmarket.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.
