Is Vivo Recharges fraud?

• Subscription Services: Users may have subscribed to a Vivo streaming service or premium plan, leading to recurring charges.
• In-App Purchases: Charges can occur from purchasing additional features or downloads within Vivo's apps.
• Event Tickets: Customers might buy tickets for live events or concerts, which can result in unexpected charges.
• Merchandise Purchases: If users bought physical merchandise from Vivo's site, this could lead to charges showing up on their billing statements.
• Trial Subscription Turned Paid: Users who signed up for free trials may be unknowingly billed once the trial period ends.
• Multiple Family Accounts: Shared accounts may lead to confusion over who made the purchase, resulting in unexpected charges for another person.
• Subscription Renewals: Automatic renewals of previously subscribed services can lead to charges without clear notification.
• Partner Services: Charges may also come from third-party services affiliated with Vivo that users have engaged with.
• Gift Cards or Credits: Using gift cards for purchases might lead to users not realizing their balance was insufficient, resulting in extra charges when the card balance runs out.
• Membership Fees: Some users might have opted into memberships that carry annual or monthly fees, leading to charges that weren't fully understood initially.

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

First, try to contact the vivo.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 vivo.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 vivo.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.
