Is PROV.ORG fraud?

• Subscription Services: Many users report being charged for ongoing subscriptions they may have signed up for, often forgetting the specific terms or renewal dates.
• Free Trials: Some customers mentioned that after using a free trial period, they were automatically charged as soon as the trial ended.
• One-time Purchases: Charges can also occur from one-time purchases that users made, whether for products or services, leading to confusion without clear transaction records.
• Hidden Fees: Users have pointed out that there can be additional fees associated with certain services that are not clearly stated upfront.
• Family Accounts: In instances where accounts are shared, charges can be incurred from family members without the main account holder's knowledge.
• Pending Transactions: Some have noticed provisional holds on their accounts that reflect as charges, even if the actual payment hasn’t been finalized yet.
• Cancelled Subscriptions: Reports of users still receiving charges after attempting to cancel their subscriptions, often due to glitches in the system or misunderstanding of the cancellation policy.
• Promotional Offers: Some users indicated they were charged after opting into promotional offers without realizing they would lead to future charges.

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

First, try to contact the provisional.org 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 provisional.org 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 provisional.org, 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.
