Is SharkBite Purchase fraud?

• Subscriptions: Customers may be charged for subscription services they signed up for, which could include recurring payment plans for software or other services.
• One-Time Purchases: Charges could result from purchasing products directly from the SharkBite website, such as plumbing fittings or tools.
• Trial Periods: Some users report being charged after a free trial period ends, often due to forgetting to cancel before the trial expires.
• Shipping Fees: Users may see additional charges for shipping on their orders, which could be unexpected if not clearly communicated at checkout.
• Service Fees: Charges may be related to service fees for installation or consultation services that were requested during a transaction.
• Unauthorized Charges: Some customers report unauthorized charges, often due to using saved payment information or potential account security issues.
• Account Upgrades: Charges for upgrading accounts or accessing premium features that were not clearly indicated can lead to confusion.
• Missing Discounts: Users sometimes find they've been charged full price due to not applying discounts or promo codes correctly during checkout.

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

First, try to contact the sharkbite.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 sharkbite.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 sharkbite.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.
