Is GOAT fraud?

• Subscriptions: Customers may have unknowingly signed up for a subscription service, leading to recurring charges each billing cycle.
• Online Purchases: Charges could result from one-time purchases made on the Local Goat website for food items, merchandise, or specials.
• Delivery Fees: Users might see charges related to delivery services, which could include delivery fees or tips for delivery personnel.
• Promotions or Memberships: Some users reported charges related to promotions that require membership, which could start charging automatically after a trial period.
• Cancellations: If a customer canceled a service or subscription, they may still see a charge due to timing issues or misunderstanding of the cancellation policy.
• Cancellation Fees: Certain cancellations may incur fees that lead to unexpected charges on their statements.
• Multiple Orders: Some customers have reported accidental duplicate orders, resulting in multiple charges appearing on their statements.
• Third-party Services: Charges might appear if the customer used Local Goat's services through third-party apps that manage transactions or deliveries.
• Disputed Transactions: Customers may notice charges due to disputes or misunderstandings about previous transactions that were not recognized at the time of incurring a charge.

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

First, try to contact the localgoatpf.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 localgoatpf.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 localgoatpf.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.
