Is MSI fraud?

• Product Purchases: Customers may see charges for buying MSI products directly from their website, including laptops, graphics cards, or accessories.
• Subscription Services: Users might inadvertently subscribe to services or software updates that automatically bill them, especially if they did not read the fine print during the signup process.
• Warranty Registration Fees: Some users report unexpected charges when registering products for extended warranties or support.
• Shipping Charges: Additional costs may occur for shipping and handling, particularly for expedited delivery options.
• Return Shipping Fees: Customers returning items may encounter fees for return shipments, especially if the item was not in its original condition.
• Bundle Deals: Charges may be for bundled services or products that were agreed upon during the checkout process but were not clearly highlighted.
• Software Licensing Fees: If users installed MSI software that requires a purchase or licensing fee, they might see charges related to that.
• Currency Conversion Fees: International customers could face additional charges due to currency conversion rates when making purchases in a different currency.

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

First, try to contact the us.msi.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 us.msi.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 us.msi.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.
