Is UPSCREAM! PODCAST fraud?

• Subscription Fees: Many users report recurring charges due to subscription models that automatically renew monthly or annually unless cancelled.
• In-App Purchases: Some customers mention being charged for items or features within the app that require additional payment.
• Trial Expiration: Users have noted being billed after a free trial period ended, often without clear notifications prior to the charge.
• Multiple Accounts: Confusion can arise if users have multiple accounts, leading them to unknowingly subscribe or purchase services on one account while thinking they are using another.
• Family Sharing Plans: Charges may appear for shared plans if family members make purchases or if parental controls are not properly set.
• Third-Party Payments: Some charges may come from third-party platforms or apps associated with Up Scream, leading to unexpected fees.
• Promotions or Discounts: Users sometimes enroll in promotions that later convert into paid subscriptions without their awareness, resulting in charges.
• Service Fees: Additional service fees or taxes may apply depending on the jurisdiction, which users may not realize until they see the final charge.

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

First, try to contact the upstreampodcast.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 upstreampodcast.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 upstreampodcast.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.
