Is Norton Charge fraud?

• Automatic Subscription Renewals: Many customers report being charged due to automatic renewal of subscriptions they signed up for, often without realizing it was enabled.
• Free Trials Converting to Paid Subscriptions: Users have experienced charges after free trials ended, as they were automatically converted to paid subscriptions.
• Purchases of Additional Services: Some individuals mention charges for add-ons or extra features that they may have clicked on while using Norton products.
• Multiple Accounts: Customers have noted getting charged on different accounts, which they may have forgotten about or found difficult to manage.
• Family Plans: Charges related to shared family plans can occur, where family members each get a separate charge that users might not track well.
• Initial One-Time Fees: Some users found unexpected charges from one-time fees associated with specific services or software they selected for installation.

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.
