Is TAPOUT GEAR fraud?

• Subscription Fees: Many customers sign up for subscription services that automatically renew, leading to recurring charges.
• Trial Period to Paid Subscription: Users often report being charged after a free trial ends without realizing that they had agreed to a paid subscription during signup.
• In-App Purchases: Charges may stem from purchases made within the Tapout app or website, including merchandise or service upgrades.
• Account Sharing: Some users might get charged due to shared account usage, leading to unexpected fees if someone else made a purchase.
• Membership Fees: For certain memberships or premium access, users might see charges that they did not anticipate.
• Service Cancellation Policies: Some may experience charges related to cancellation policies if they attempt to cancel their services without following the required steps.
• Failed Payment Attempts: Auto-renewal might cause attempts to charge the customer's account leading to multiple charges if the initial payment fails.
• Promotional Offers: Customers sometimes enroll in promotional offers which can later lead to automatic charges if not canceled in time.
• Account Inactivity Fees: Some users report being charged if their accounts remain inactive for a prolonged period.
• Gift Cards or Vouchers: If gift cards or promotional vouchers are redeemable on the site, they may lead to misunderstandings and subsequent charges.

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

First, try to contact the tapout.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 tapout.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 tapout.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.
