Is FP SHOP fraud?

• Online Purchases: Customers may receive charges for items ordered through fpnyc.com, including comics, collectibles, and merchandise.
• Pre-orders: Charges may occur for pre-ordered items, which can happen before the release date of the product.

• Return Process: Occasionally, fees may be incurred during the return process, depending on the store's policy.
• Gift Cards: If someone purchases a gift card, it may show as a charge on their account, though it's for future use, not current purchases.

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

First, try to contact the fpnyc.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 fpnyc.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 fpnyc.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.
