Is ERP Contribution fraud?

• Membership Fees: Customers may have signed up for a membership that comes with a recurring fee for support and benefits related to environmental initiatives.
• Event Registrations: Charges might stem from signing up for community events, workshops, or educational programs organized by the Elizabeth River Project.
• Donations: Users may have made one-time or recurring donations to support their conservation efforts, which can result in charges showing up on their accounts.
• Merchandise Purchases: If customers purchased branded merchandise or educational materials from the Elizabeth River Project’s online store, charges will reflect those transactions.
• Volunteer Fees: Some special volunteer programs may require a fee for materials or participation, leading to charges for individuals involved.

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

First, try to contact the elizabethriver.org 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 elizabethriver.org 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 elizabethriver.org, 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.
