Is NEJM Membership fraud?

• Subscription Services: Many customers report being charged for automatic renewals of subscriptions they signed up for on NEJM Group's website, often for access to journals or articles.
• Single Article Purchases: Users may have downloaded individual research articles or papers, leading to one-time charges on their accounts.
• Institutional Access Fees: Some users mentioned that if they are affiliated with a medical institution, charges might appear due to institutional access fees on behalf of their organization.
• Trial Memberships: Customers have experienced charges after trial periods end, transitioning into paid memberships without awareness.
• Additional Services: Charges can also occur from accessing supplementary materials or resources that are not covered under initial subscriptions.
• Account Mismanagement: Some users indicated that charges resulted from confusion regarding multiple accounts or unintentional subscriptions under different emails.
• Promotional Offers: Occasionally, users reported being automatically enrolled in paid programs after accepting promotional offers, leading to unexpected billing.

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

First, try to contact the nejmgroup.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 nejmgroup.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 nejmgroup.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.
