Is LINE SUBSCRIPTION fraud?

• In-App Purchases: Customers may unintentionally purchase stickers, themes, or other digital items within the LINE app.
• Subscription Services: Users can subscribe to LINE's premium services, which may lead to recurring charges if not canceled.
• LINE Out Calls: Charges may apply when making international calls through LINE Out, especially if users are unaware of calling rates.
• Game Purchases: Spending in LINE games for virtual currency or items can result in unexpected charges if linked to payment methods.
• Linked Payment Methods: Users may have linked their credit or debit cards, leading to charges for various services without realizing they are active.
• Accidental Clicks: Some users report accidental taps leading to purchases, particularly in the sticker shop or game sections.
• Family Sharing Plans: Charges may occur if family sharing is enabled, allowing others in a family group to make purchases that impact the main account.
• Subscription Renewal: Users often forget to cancel free trials, which can lead to automatic renewals and subsequent charges.

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

First, try to contact the linecorp.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 linecorp.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 linecorp.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.
