Is FUNIMATION SUBSCRIPTION fraud?

• Subscription fees: Many users are charged for their monthly or yearly subscriptions to access Funimation's streaming service.
• Free trial conversions: Customers who signed up for a free trial may be automatically charged once the trial period ends if they did not cancel.
• In-app purchases: Users may accidentally make purchases for additional content or features within the Funimation app.
• Account sharing: Charges can occur if a shared account exceeds the allowed number of simultaneous streams.
• Unrecognized charges: Some customers report confusion over charges appearing on their statements, often due to misunderstandings about existing subscriptions.
• Multiple accounts: Users with multiple accounts may forget about subscriptions linked to each account, leading to unexpected charges.
• Seasonal promotions: Occasionally, Funimation might have offers which change the regular billing cycle or amount, leading to unexpected charges.
• Payment method issues: Users might see charges due to issues with their payment methods, such as expired credit cards being reprocessed.

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

First, try to contact the funimation.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 funimation.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 funimation.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.
