Is Microsoft *Store fraud?

• Subscription Renewal: Customers can be charged for automatic renewals of their Microsoft 365 subscriptions if they originally opted in for recurring payments.
• Multiple Accounts: Users may inadvertently create multiple accounts, leading to charges on different accounts for services they thought were canceled.
• Free Trial Conversion: After a free trial, services may automatically transition into paid subscriptions unless canceled before the trial ends.
• Purchasing Additional Licenses: Charges can occur when users add more licenses for additional users or devices beyond the original plan.
• In-App Purchases: Customers may incur charges from add-ons or features purchased within Microsoft apps, such as additional storage.
• International Transactions: Users traveling or living abroad may see unexpected charges due to currency conversion rates or different billing practices.
• Third-Party Apps: Some users report being charged for third-party applications linked to their Microsoft 365 account unknowingly.
• Office Applications Licensing: Charges may arise when users purchase Office apps directly from Microsoft, outside their subscription plan.
• Family Plans Sharing: Users in family plans may see charges if other members of the plan purchase additional services or upgrades without consent.

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

First, try to contact the m365.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 m365.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 m365.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.
