Is SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS fraud?

• Product Purchases: Customers might be charged for devices like smartphones, tablets, or accessories that they have bought from the Samsung Online Store.
• Pre-Orders: Charges can occur for pre-ordered items, which may be deducted when the order is placed rather than shipped.
• Subscriptions: Some users report being charged for Samsung services like Samsung Music, Samsung Care+, or other subscription services that may require recurring payments.
• Accidental Orders: There are instances where customers mistakenly order items and may see charges for these unintended purchases.
• Shipping Fees: Charges may also include shipping or handling fees associated with their orders.
• Tax Charges: Users can see state or local sales tax applied to their purchases.
• Return Processing Fees: Some customers mention charges related to returned items that may include restocking fees.
• Accessories or Add-Ons: When adding accessories or additional features during the purchase process, customers can inadvertently increase their total charges.

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

First, try to contact the store.samsung.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 store.samsung.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 store.samsung.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.
