Unauthorized Charge by DRI*AVG Technologies

Hello AVG team,

        I just received an notification from my credit card company that my card was charged $75.45 by DRI*AVG Technologies on July/11/2018 for something I am absolutely sure that I didn't purchase at all. Could you give help for refund?

        I have reported the transaction to Discover's fraud prevention service, but I also hope that the AVG team could take action to prevent transactions like this from happening in the future.

Hello Yi-Lung, 

You might be charged for auto renewal of AVG product. When you purchase an AVG subscription (formally known as "Continuing Protection Service"), the subscription will continue until you have cancelled it. Customers will be billed 15 days prior to the start of the next subscription period. Customers will also receive an email regarding the automatic extension of their AVG subscription, 45 days prior to the start of the next subscription period.

Digital River is our Payment gateway. Unfortunately, I couldn't locate any active products/ transactions under your email account: xxx@yahoo.com.tw

Have you subscribed to trial version of AVG using alternate email address?

Dear Alan,

       Just for your info, I didn't purchase anything on July/12/2018, which was yesterday, so my memory is still fresh. It's clearly a mistake. Please refund.

Dear Ranjan,

          I might have used a trial version of AVG product before, but currently I don't have any in my laptop. My alternative email is [email address removed]. Could you please check if there is any active subcription under it?

Hi Sreepathy,

We acknowledge your refund request. 
Initially, please be informed that it isn't recommended to share the order details over the public post.
However, upon checking the provided order #, we see that you're charged for the renewal of AVG TuneUp. Usually, we do send pre-billing notification prior 30 days of subscription's expiry (which has been sent to you on 10/11/19). If you'd like to cancel this subscription & get refunded, we do understand. 
Regarding the account :  avg.cs@digitalriver.com, it is an automated email system. Hence, you're unable to reply back to that account.

This DRI'AVG Technologies is named Digital River Support. It's a company outwith AVG that handles all AVG transactions on line.  Every AVG sale made by you online,  DRS  takes a charge which is only shown on your bank account, not on AVG reminders etc. So you pay extra for your AVG item at the end of the day.  It happened to me too.
