Is Home DNA Services fraud?

• Subscription Fees: Many users report that they automatically enrolled in a subscription service after making a one-time purchase, leading to recurring charges.
• DNA Testing Kits: Charges may arise from purchasing DNA testing kits directly from HomeDNA's website.
• Shipping Costs: Customers often see additional fees for shipping when ordering products or services, which can lead to unexpected higher totals.
• Lab Analysis Fees: Some users mention charges related to lab analysis of DNA samples submitted for testing.
• Additional Services: Optional add-ons, like enhanced reports or extra features, can lead to increased charges beyond initial expectations.
• Account Maintenance: Some users have reported fees associated with maintaining an account for ongoing services or updates.
• Failure to Cancel: Users have mentioned being charged because they did not effectively cancel either their subscriptions or services before the renewal date.

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

First, try to contact the homedna.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 homedna.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 homedna.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.
