Is Clustered fraud?

• Subscription Services: Many users report being charged for recurring subscriptions, often without clear prior notification. This includes services related to VPNs, web hosting, or cloud storage.
• One-Time Purchases: Some customers have experienced charges for one-time purchases they made, but are often surprised by additional fees or charges that follow.
• Trial Period Expiration: Users have noted being automatically charged when a free trial period ends, leading to unexpected costs if they did not remember to cancel beforehand.
• Inactivity Fees: A number of users have mentioned being charged inactivity fees if they did not use their accounts for a certain period of time.
• Service Upgrades: Charges can occur when users unintentionally upgrade to a paid service tier while attempting to utilize free features.
• Additional Features: Some have reported charges for additional features that were not clearly indicated as paid options at the time of selection.
• Domain Registration: Users involved with domain registrations have also noted charges related to renewals or unsuccessful registration attempts.
• Payment Errors: A few users encountered multiple erroneous charges due to issues with the company’s payment processing system.

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

First, try to contact the clustered.net 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 clustered.net 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 clustered.net, 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.
