First, try to contact the vanillabeanicecream.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 vanillabeanicecream.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.

Tell your bank or credit card issuer that you do not recognize the charge and do not recall signing up for the service.
