Is Norton fraud?

• Automatic Renewals: Many users report being charged for Norton subscriptions that automatically renew, often without their explicit consent or knowledge.
• Trial Conversions: Some customers have experienced unexpected charges after a free trial period ended, where the trial converted into a paid subscription.
• Add-On Services: Charges can occur for additional services or features that were added during the subscription process, which users may not have fully understood.
• Multiple Accounts: Users sometimes find charges from Norton because they have multiple accounts and forget about a previous subscription.
• Family Plans: There are reports of being billed for Norton Family plans or similar multi-device services that users may not have opted into.
• Refund Delays: Some individuals mention delays or complications in obtaining refunds for canceled subscriptions, leading to confusion over charges.
• Data Breaches: A few threads discuss concerns about unauthorized charges due to potential data breaches on other platforms where users' payment info was saved.
• Payment Method Issues: Users sometimes get charged accidentally on outdated payment methods linked to their Norton accounts, causing unexpected charges after changes.
• Promotional Offers: Some have signed up for promotional discounts that expired, resulting in higher charges when the promotional period ended.

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

First, try to contact the norton.me 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 norton.me 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 norton.me, 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.
