Is Activision Blizzard fraud?

• In-Game Purchases: Customers may see charges for virtual items, skins, or loot boxes purchased directly within games like Call of Duty or Overwatch.
• Subscription Services: Charges can stem from subscriptions to services such as Call of Duty: Warzone's premium content or season passes that grant access to additional content.
• Microtransactions: Users often report charges related to microtransactions for extra content, battle passes, or currency used in games.
• Automatic Renewals: Subscriptions may automatically renew, leading to unexpected charges if users forgot to cancel.
• Account Linking Issues: Linking accounts from different platforms (like PSN or Xbox Live) can sometimes result in doubled charges for content on multiple accounts.
• Free Trials: Some users have reported being charged after free trial periods ended without cancellation.
• Family Sharing Options: If a family member makes purchases or subscriptions that charge linked accounts, it may lead to charges that others are unaware of.
• Misleading Promotions: Some players have posted about misunderstandings with promotional offers leading to unintended charges.
• Currency Exchanges: Charges might appear due to currency conversion fees if purchases are made in a different currency.
• Third-Party Transactions: Purchases made through third-party sellers or platforms may lead to unexpected charges not clearly linked to Activision's services.

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

First, try to contact the activision.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 activision.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 activision.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.
