Is Ozzies Retail fraud?

• Subscriptions: Many users reported being charged for automatic renewals of subscriptions they signed up for without clear indications of the conditions, leading to unexpected bills.
• One-time Purchases: Charges can occur for items purchased directly from Ozzie's website, which users may forget about, especially if they have multiple transactions.
• Trial Periods: Customers mentioned being charged after free trial periods elapsed, often not recognizing that their trial would automatically convert into a paid subscription.
• Service Fees: Some users noted additional charges related to services used, such as delivery or installation fees that were applied at checkout.
• Account Management Fees: Reports indicate that some were charged administrative fees tied to account maintenance or service adjustments without prior notice.
• Upgraded Plans: Users have been charged for upgraded service plans that were set to activate automatically after the initial period, leading to confusion about payment structures.
• Failed Payment Attempts: Customers observed that multiple attempts to process a payment for an order can lead to multiple charges on their bank statements.
• Inactivity Charges: Some have experienced charges related to account inactivity if they didn’t use their services within specified timeframes.

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

First, try to contact the ozzies.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 ozzies.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 ozzies.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.
