Is ES Charge fraud?

• Automatic Subscription Renewal: Many customers report being charged because their subscriptions automatically renew at the end of the billing cycle, often without clear notifications.
• Trial Period Conversions: Users often sign up for a free trial or a discounted initial offer, which may convert into a full paid subscription if not canceled in time.
• Premium Features: Charges may arise from users who opt for additional features like “See Who Liked You” or “Boost Your Profile” that require separate payments.
• Account Upgrades: Customers might upgrade their accounts to access more functionalities, leading to additional charges.
• Currency Conversion Fees: International charges may also appear due to currency conversion fees when payments are processed in different currencies.
• Inactivity Fees: Some users have reported unexpected charges due to inactivity on their accounts leading to service fees.
• Multiple Accounts: Customers creating multiple accounts may inadvertently incur charges for each account, especially if linked to the same payment method.
• Misunderstanding Terms: Some users have noted confusion over the terms of service, leading to unexpected fees they did not anticipate or fully understand.

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

First, try to contact the elitesingles.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 elitesingles.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 elitesingles.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.
