Is Diary fraud?

• Subscription Fees: Many users report being charged for recurring subscription plans after initially signing up for a free trial or promotional offer.
• In-App Purchases: Charges may arise from purchasing additional features or content within the app, which some users may not realize they opted into.
• Payment Processing Errors: Occasionally, users note double charges due to processing errors, which can occur if the transaction was attempted multiple times.
• Service Upgrades: Users upgrading to a premium version or additional services might see increased charges on their account.
• Account Mismanagement: Some users experience charges due to multiple accounts or forgotten subscriptions, leading to confusion about which account is being billed.
• Promotions Ending: Customers might initially see lower charges that increase once a promotional period ends, leading to unexpected billing.
• Refund Delays: In cases where users have requested refunds, there are instances where users are still charged during the waiting period for the refund to process.

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

First, try to contact the diary.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 diary.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 diary.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.
