Digital River AVG tune-up

$93.99 came out on the 9th of this month; for a one-year license; then today I was asked to authorise another $79.99 for a 3-year license; which I did; however; I fear something improper; intentional or otherwise has been done; but when I contacted customer service; they tried to make me sign up for a special account which cost money; and their phone numbers are too expensive to call.

Claimed loss: $79.99

Desired outcome: Refund of one or the other amounts and retain 3-year subscription.

Digital River billing

Funds of $197.60 were paid from Barbara Anne Jewelry's PayPal account on December 10, 2023.

Upon further investigation, Digital River was acting on behalf of AVG Technologies.

I canceled this subscription 2 + years ago after we retired the computer it was resident on. I did not realize that Digital Rivers had also charged me in 2022. Since I rarely look at PayPal, I did not see this.

This is crazy since I no longer have a subscription with AVG but was not refunded the amount either.

Claimed loss: $197.60

Desired outcome: refund

Digital River AVG Security

Reviewing my records I find that I have been charged twice on my Amex card ending 04008, for the above product.

Once on 02/03/2023 for £79.99, and again £79.99 on 24/04/2023.

I reported this to Amex and they initially suspended one payment but then reversed the suspension on 03//8/2023, so I am back to having paid twice.

Worse, I no longer appear too have access to AVG Security despite my subscription have some months to run.

Desired outcome: Refund the overpayment promptly, and do not attempt to charge me for any goods or services in the future.

Digital River Digital River Billing

I have several payment to Digital River via 'PayPal' therefore no order number is provided,

Why doesn't your team team inform the customer of the payment is for, such as 'Paypal, Payment for Adobe Subscription' Your support site is extremely not user friendly.

Or modify your support site to cater for this information for PayPal paying customers, as i'm not a merchant or a MyCommerce Customer.

Desired outcome: Please add the reasons in your PayPal invoicing.

Digital River Kaspersky total security

I tried to cancel my Kaspersky Total Security auto-renewal from the DigitalRiver website, since I bought the subscription through My Kaspersky. I inserted my order number and password but when I clicked on the box that says "Cancel auto-renewal" and then on "Next," I was taken to a page that says "WE'RE SORRY! The page you are looking for can't be found." This happened every single time. I deleted my My Kaspersky account in an attempt to cancel the auto-renewal — it did not cancel the auto-renewal. I tried contacting the customer support number but it did not work. I used two phones. Neither worked. I submitted a request through the Kaspersky page but I need the renewal cancelled immediately. I want my auto-renewal subscription to be cancelled IMMEDIATELY while I still have days remaining in my Kaspersky Total Security subscription.

Desired outcome: I want my auto-renewal subscription to be terminated IMMEDIATELY while I still have days remaining in my Kaspersky Total Security subscription.

Kaspersky sent me an email stating that the case was resolved. I am not sure yet if this is true but I will now by June when the auto-renewal payment that I cannot cancel is due.

At 7:43pm EST march 13, 2023 My I received a security notices on my phone via txt that someone was trying to access my paypal account. My phone 2 factor authentication showed two attempts to retrieve 6 digit security codes.

. The hacker attempted to use my paypal account to charge -$103.99 to Digital RIver. The hacker attempted to access the account again at 7:46pm EST March 13, 2023.

I immediately got on my pc and changed my Password to a 128bit encrypted password. I also turned off the convenience features but couldn't find a link to log out all other sessions.

Upon closer inspection of my account I found TWO unauthorized charges.

1. two days prior on March 11, 2023 a charge for -$43.15 was an unauthorized charged to some company called Verifone Payments. I do not recognize this charge.

2. Again -$103.99 was charged to my paypal account by your company (Digital River).

Desired outcome: Investigate the hacks and Refund my money immediately or face swift litigation. You have three business days to comply.Contact me at [protected]@jonathanqfreeman.com asap to resolve this matter.

Digital River Unauthorised payments

After discovering several payments taken from my bank account through Paypal that I could not identify that were made to Digital River Ireland Ltd on 31 January 2022 & 01 February 2022 for the amounts of £49.99 each totalling £99.98 and also 17 January 2023 & 18 January 2023 for the amounts of £54.99 each totalling £109.98 for a combined total of £209.96.

I would appreciate it if you can provide information as to what these payments are in relation to ?.

After some investigation I see you (Digital River Ireland) provide some software service but I have no recollection of ever having made any such purchases from yourselves (Digital River Ireland Ltd), before I saw these payments I had never heard of your company (Digital River Ireland Ltd), while researching Digital River Ireland Ltd I saw that amongst your clients is Avast, I did use Avast for a short period for which I paid up front but never renewed my subscription as I decided to use P.I.A. (private internet access) VPN for my online security, I took up their (P.I.A. VPN) 12 month trial and am currently half way through a further 2 year subscription with them (P.I.A. VPN) and subsequently have not needed or renewed my subscription with Avast, I have declined many requests (of which the most recent was last week) from Avast to renew my subscription, If this is the reason for these payments being taken from my account then this is an error on your part and I feel I am due a full refund totalling £209.96 for a service or goods of which not I have received or used.

Desired outcome: Full financial refund of £209.96

Digital River $19.99 Charge for Nothing

I paid a contractor via PayPal and noticed while in PayPal that I had supposedly sent $19.99 to Digital River. I searched Digital River's website and quickly found I had never had any dealings with them. I emailed PayPal to deny the charges and was told that I did in fact purchase something "similar" to what Digital River offers. What the heck does Digital River offer 'cause I ain't received anything?!

Desired outcome: I would like a ful refund.

Digital River Sony Xperia 1 III

To whom it may concern,

I purchased a Sony Xperia 1 III Smartphone through the official Sony website using one of their 3rd party providers. This was last year September 2021.

I have been trying to return the product ever since. It began with the company providing me with a return address that doesn't exist (my package was returned back to me informing me of that information).

Then having contacted the company, they tend to take a few days to reply to each e-mail. They stated that they would arrange a collection for the phone. Providing me with no details of how they would collect this. In the middle of arranging a date to collect, they confirmed a date AFTER the arranged time. At the time I was working from home, so if a courier was arranged I would've been able to comply regardless of logistical errors.

An attempt for a courier to collect my phone has happened a few times and failed every time. They have informed me they cannot send a 3rd courier as attempts have been made. No one has turned up as they stated and I don't believe them. For the last collection, I made sure to have my CCTV camera on for that day, and no one turned up. I am still emailing them asking for a refund 7 months later.

I have also asked if there was a depot in order for me to drop off the product to which that was ignored.

Please are we able to resolve this in some way?

Kind regards,

A.Gadda

Desired outcome: A refund of my items aswell as the ability to return the items.
