Is LIDL fraud?

• In-store purchases: Customers might see charges from their local Lidl for groceries and other items bought during shopping trips.
• Online orders: If a customer has made an online order through Lidl's website, it can result in charges associated with those purchases.
• Subscriptions: Some users report being charged due to subscription services linked to Lidl, like meal kits or loyalty programs.
• Promotional sign-ups: People may inadvertently sign up for promotional offers or trials, leading to unexpected charges after the trial period ends.
• Repeated transactions: Users have mentioned seeing multiple charges if they accidentally clicked on 'purchase' more than once during online shopping.
• Card details saved: Charges may appear from saved payment methods if users forget they had previously set up automatic payments or subscriptions.
• Gift card purchases: Some customers have seen charges related to buying gift cards or using saved cards for purchases.
• Return processing fees: Charges can sometimes occur if there are restocking fees related to returned items.

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

First, try to contact the lidl.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 lidl.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 lidl.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.
