What's Wrong?

My payment method was used to purchase an unauthorized gift subscription sent to [email protected] (Emerson). I never authorized this.

Timeline:

  • May 10, 2026: Pro plan renewed normally
  • May 13, 2026: Unauthorized charge of €199.97 for a Max gift subscription
  • May 13, 2026: Support ticket opened, Conversation ID: 215474293807613
  • May 14, 2026: Added fraud details (recipient email visible in billing page)
  • May 16, 2026: Urgent follow-up sent, no response
  • May 26, 2026: Support conversation disappeared from system entirely
  • Total: 10+ days, zero human contact

Evidence: billing page shows gift delivered to [email protected] (Emerson). Second charge of €219.60 attempted and failed. Pro plan had renewed 3 days prior.

Related issues: #51404 #48780 #45335 #47290

What Should Happen?

Full refund of €199.97 and confirmation that the fraudulent gift subscription has been revoked. Escalation to a human billing agent.
