Is Zoo.com fraud?

• Subscription Fees: Customers may be charged for ongoing subscriptions, such as monthly or yearly plans that automatically renew unless canceled.
• In-app Purchases: Charges can occur due to purchases made within the app, like additional features or enhancements.
• Trial Periods: Users might be charged after a free trial ends if they don’t cancel in time, transitioning to a paid subscription automatically.
• Account Upgrades: Upgrading to a premium account often results in an upfront fee or recurring charges.
• Additional Services: Some users report charges for extra services that they might not have opted into knowingly, like added data storage or specific tools.
• Family Plans: Charges can arise when additional members are added to family plans, leading to higher monthly fees.
• Currency Conversion Fees: Users paying from different countries might incur conversion fees that show up as unexpected charges.
• Multiple Accounts: Having multiple Zoo accounts can lead to charges accumulating from all active accounts if not monitored.
• Billing Errors: Some customers experience accidental charges due to billing errors or glitches in the system.
• Pending Transactions: Sometimes, pending transactions might appear on statements before the actual service is rendered, which can confuse users.

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

First, try to contact the zoo.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 zoo.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 zoo.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.
