Is AMAZON KIDS PLUS fraud?

• Amazon Kids+ Subscription: Customers often subscribe to Amazon Kids+, which provides access to a library of content for children. Monthly or annual subscription fees can result in charges if the subscription is not canceled.
• In-App Purchases: Children may make in-app purchases within games or apps available through Amazon Kids, leading to unforeseen charges on the billing account.
• Shared Payments: If an adult shares an Amazon account with children, purchases made by kids can lead to charges that might not be immediately recognized by the account holder.
• Free Trials That Convert: Many users sign up for free trials of Amazon Kids+, which automatically convert to a paid subscription if not canceled before the trial period ends.
• Additional Content: Users may purchase additional content, such as e-books or audiobooks, specifically designed for children, resulting in extra charges.
• Device Purchases: Charges may appear if a parent buys a dedicated device for Amazon Kids, such as Fire tablets, which may come with platform-specific banking or subscription fees.
• Accidental Clicks: Parents have reported instances where children accidentally clicked on prompts that led to unintended purchases or subscriptions.
• Family Account Settings: Misconfigured family account settings might result in unexpected charges to the primary account holder when children access content.

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

First, try to contact the kids.amazon.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 kids.amazon.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 kids.amazon.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.
