Is KUOW DONATION fraud?

• Subscriptions: Customers may have signed up for a recurring subscription for premium content or ad-free listening.
• One-Time Donations: Some users may have made one-time donations, which can appear as charges on their statement.
• Pledge Drives: During fundraising campaigns, charges may occur if someone pledges and forgets about it until the charge is processed.
• Merchandise Purchases: Users might purchase KUOW merchandise, leading to charges related to those transactions.
• Membership Fees: Costs associated with becoming a member for exclusive benefits might be another reason for the charges.
• Event Registrations: Charges could arise from registering for events or special programming offered by KUOW.
• Platform Fees: If using a third-party platform to access KUOW content, additional fees might be incurred for service usage.
• Accidental Charges: Users may mistakenly subscribe or donate, leading to unexpected charges on their accounts.

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

First, try to contact the kuow.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 kuow.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 kuow.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.
