Is SPC Canada fraud?

• Subscription Fees: Many users report being charged for subscriptions they signed up for, often related to membership services or special promotions on the site.
• One-Time Purchases: Charges may occur from one-time purchases of products or services, which some customers have forgotten about or misidentified.
• Recurring Payments: Some customers have mentioned that they were unaware of recurring payment policies and were billed multiple times for ongoing services.
• Free Trials that Transition to Paid: Users often experience charges after a free trial period ends, which they may not realize would convert into a paid subscription automatically.
• Account Upgrades: Upgrading to a premium account or additional features can lead to unexpected charges.
• Delivery Fees: For users ordering products, additional delivery or handling fees may be charged without clear communication.
• Membership Renewals: Users have noted automatic renewals for membership renewals can catch them off guard if they do not remember opting in.
• International Transaction Fees: If purchases are made from outside Canada, additional fees may be charged by banks or credit card companies.
• Promotional Offers: Some charges stem from promotional offers that require payment after an introductory period.
• Partner Services: Services partnered with Spc.ca may also result in charges if users engage with those services through the site.

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

First, try to contact the spc.ca 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 spc.ca 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 spc.ca, 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.
