Nebula app charged me $45 ?!

Nebula Astrology ?


I woke up this morning to a charge on my phone from my Chase app for $45 dollars?


I vaguely remember visiting a website a few months ago. I remember that something on the website didn’t work properly so when I got to the payment screen I swiped out.


This was a month ago ! Now all the sudden I wake up and there’s a $45 charge from them.


I reported them to the fraud department of Chase and they reversed the pending transaction and are sending me out a new Chase Freedom card on Monday.


Definitely a Scam.


Because what free trial lasts for a month? I told the phone rep I routinely “$5-8 online for random things but never $45 dollars for anything online.


it also makes it weirder because I only looked at the website for 5 minutes one day and it wasn’t working properly so I just closed it out and did something else.

This does not have anything to do with Apple, but has been reported many times as being a scam site. They do have a Free Trial that you would need to provide a payment method to start. It could be Apple Pay that was used, but Apple is not billing you. When you select Apple Pay, it is your bank that receives the one time unique passcode from your device that is used to honor the trial that was accepted. Apple Pay simply eliminates the need to manually enter the credit card number into the website where it can be compromised. The subscription is between Nebula and your Credit Card that was used and does not involve Apple.


You followed the correct procedure to dispute the transaction with your card, as it is that bank that approved the transaction and would continue to pay them until you cancelled. You are not alone and many others have been sucked into this.


Other users were directed to this site from Social Media apps and a few from website advertisements. I don't know of any that searched them out on their own.

I'm not aware that some reando website charges you for something and it has anything to do with Apple!


How would this website have your Chase CC info nation if all you did was look at the site?


An app and a website are two different things.
