Common Reasons People Get Unauthorized Charges
Understanding why unauthorized charges happen can prevent future incidents. Common causes include:- Stolen Card Information: Hackers may use stolen credit or debit card numbers for online purchases.
- Subscription Traps: Free trials or hidden fees can result in unexpected charges.
- Duplicate Billing: Technical errors may lead to the same service being charged twice.
- Family or Shared Accounts: Household members may accidentally or unknowingly authorize transactions.
