PawChamp Charged $95.99 for Secret Membership

A bbb report about a phishing scam that cost someone $40.0. Learn how to avoid falling victim.

I initially purchased a dog training program for $40 from PawChamp. Six months later, a charge tried to appear on my credit card for two weeks before the $95.99 officially posted. When I contacted the company, they said I signed up for a membership when I bought the program. There was nothing listed about this in the purchase, or any future emails, etc. No warning was given before the $96 was charged. They would not issue a refund. Beware of purchasing anything from these pet companies via socials. I also purchased from PupaPaws a $20 item and then less than 2 weeks later, a $40 membership fee was charged.
