Is Tinder fraud?

• Subscriptions: Users may opt for Tinder Plus, Tinder Gold, or Tinder Platinum subscriptions, which are billed monthly or annually.
• In-app Purchases: Charges can occur for purchasing virtual items such as Super Likes, Boosts, or additional features that enhance user experience.
• Auto-renewal: Many users report unexpected charges due to auto-renewal settings on their subscriptions if they forget to cancel before the renewal date.
• Account Issues: Some customers have noted being charged when their account was mistakenly reactivated or if there were billing errors on Tinder's end.
• Free Trials: Users may inadvertently sign up for free trials that convert into paid subscriptions if not canceled in time.
• Payment Method Confusion: People sometimes find charges from Tinder on their statements due to confusion regarding which payment method was linked to the account.
• Family Plans: Users might get charged if they are part of a shared family plan where other members make purchases.

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

First, try to contact the tinder 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 tinder 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 tinder, 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.
