Fraudulent Charge

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Cancellation requested Oct 10 via TheChive email.
  • - Card on file had expired, yet I was charged.
  • - No real-person support; inquiries get automated replies.

I requested membership cancellation last Friday Oct 10th via TheChive email. My CCard on file w TheChive also had expired so I felt safe - as it is illegal to charge an expired card, but that is exactly what TheChive did.

After requesting cancellation almost a week ago, today I get an invoice for a 3-year membership, charged to an expired CCard. As usual with organizations like TheChive, you cannot contact a real person, and when you do you get the Cyborg run around.

User's recommendation: Avoid TheChive....
