Is PANDORA fraud?

• Premium Subscriptions: Users may subscribe to Pandora Plus or Pandora Premium, which involve monthly or annual fees, leading to recurring charges on their accounts.
• Free Trial Conversion: Some users report being charged once a free trial period ends if they forget to cancel their subscription before the trial expires.
• Family Plans: Charges can arise from shared family plans where all members are billed collectively, and a new user joins or the account details change.
• Purchases of Add-Ons: Users might purchase additional features or services within the app, resulting in one-time charges on their accounts.
• Account Mismanagement: Mistakenly subscribing to multiple services or not realizing one’s subscription is active can lead to unexpected charges.
• Promotional Offers: Some users may unintentionally sign up for promotional offers that transition into paid subscriptions after the offer duration.
• Payment Method Issues: Users may see charges if their payment method was previously stored and used for automatic renewals or add-on services.
• Gift Card or Credit Usage: Users who redeem gift cards or credits for subscriptions may notice charges when those credits run out, triggering automatic payments.
• Multiple Accounts: Some individuals accidentally create multiple accounts, leading to simultaneous charges from different subscriptions without realizing it.

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

First, try to contact the pandora.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 pandora.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 pandora.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.
