Description

I opened the app which I due on occasion and was greeted with a popup asking for a payment update. I tapped on it out of curiosity and was charged a $199.99 yearly subscription fee, I was shocked and felt ripped off. Furthermore, My Google account was charged the $199.99 subscription fee, I canceled the subscription the same day and no less than 5 minutes of being prompt that I had been charged. I also phoned my credit card company to report that I had been defrauded out of $199.99 but the Reelshort purchase was in pending and was advised by my credit representative it may fall off due to my cancelation but it went through a few days later. Now I'm fighting to get my money back.
