Recognize the pattern
How it starts
Unexpected renewal emails, receipts or calls using a familiar retail or software brand.
The promise
Recurring fees will start unless support cancels them.
What happens next
Fake support transfers you to a fake banker who requests card details and a savings transfer.
Signs to watch for
- The membership is absent from your account
- Cancellation requires a fee
- The call is transferred to a supposed bank
Start with what you can do now
If this happened to you

Document charges and report
What to save
Keep the original records. Use copies to organize the details.
- Membership-charge claim
- Caller and transfer numbers
- Actual subscription status
- Payment receipts
Before you send money
- Check subscriptions in the official app
- Verify with in-app support independently
- Do not transfer money under caller guidance
These guides explain common patterns. The facts of your situation and your payment provider’s rules determine which steps are available.
