What is "TRF Academy"?

The Real Food Academy is a fun place where people can learn how to cook healthy meals and enjoy nutritious food. They offer cooking classes for all skill levels and even have subscription options for meal plans or exclusive classes. If you see a charge from them, it’s probably related to a class or a subscription you signed up for to help you get better in the kitchen!

TRF: This stands for "Transfer," indicating that this transaction relates to moving money or funds.
Academy: This is the name of the institution or organization where the transaction took place, in this case, an academy or educational establishment.

Verify With Receipt

The best way to tell if this charge is fraudulent is to find the receipt. You may have an electronic copy of the receipt, which Chargeback can help you find by searching your email accounts.

Chargeback helps you identify unwanted subscriptions and charges, and help you fight them to get your money back.

Why do people get charges like this from The Real Food Academy?

Subscription Fees: Customers may have signed up for a monthly or annual subscription service that includes access to exclusive content or classes.
Course Enrollment: Charges could result from enrolling in cooking classes or workshops hosted by The Real Food Academy.
Purchases of Products: Customers might be charged for purchasing items such as cooking tools, ingredients, or merchandise directly from the academy's online store.
Membership Fees: Some users report being charged for membership programs that offer additional benefits or resources.
Trial Period Charges: If users sign up for a free trial that transitions into a paid subscription, they may see automatic charges once the trial period ends.
Cancellation Policy Misunderstandings: Users may inadvertently continue to be charged if they do not cancel their subscriptions within the specified window.
Reoccurring Payments: Some users note being automatically charged for services or products they previously opted into without clear reminders.

If I see this charge, what should I do?

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

First, try to contact the therealfoodacademy.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 therealfoodacademy.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 therealfoodacademy.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.
