Is YH News fraud?

• Subscriptions: Many users reported charges from Yakima Herald due to automatic renewals of digital or print subscriptions they had signed up for, often without realizing the renewal terms.
• Single Issue Purchases: Some users mentioned being charged for buying a single issue of the newspaper, especially if they had subscribed previously but didn't recall the one-time purchase.
• Additional Services: Charges may also come from added services like premium access or special reports, where users opted in without fully understanding the costs involved.
• Trial Periods: People often noted being charged after trial periods ended, where they assumed they wouldn’t be billed automatically if they did not continue the subscription.
• In-app Purchases: Users who accessed content through a mobile app sometimes encountered charges for in-app purchases related to specific articles or additional content.
• Account Mismanagement: Some individuals found unrecognized charges linked to multiple accounts under the same email, leading to confusion over what services they had actually subscribed to.

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

First, try to contact the yakimaherald.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 yakimaherald.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 yakimaherald.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.
