Is Prime fraud?

• Subscription Fees: Customers may be charged for recurring subscriptions that they signed up for, which can include services or memberships offered by Prime.
• One-Time Purchases: Charges can arise from one-time purchases made through the Prime platform, including products or services that users may have accidentally bought.
• Trial Charges: Some users noted being charged after a trial period of a subscription they forgot to cancel before it ended.
• Family Sharing: Charges may occur if the account is linked to family sharing, whereby family members make purchases that affect the primary account's billing.
• In-App Purchases: Charges can result from in-app purchases made within services or products offered via Prime, especially in gaming or media apps.
• Service Fees: Users sometimes reported unexpected charges as service fees for additional features or services within the Prime ecosystem.
• Shipping Fees: If a member opts for expedited shipping or special delivery services, they might see charges associated with those shipping options.
• Return Fees: Some customers experienced charges related to return shipping for items purchased through Prime.
• Cancelation Policy Misunderstanding: Misunderstandings about the cancellation policies on subscriptions can lead to consumers being charged inadvertently.

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

First, try to contact the primeinc.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 primeinc.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 primeinc.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.
