What to do if Facebook makes unauthorized charges to your credit card

Discovering unauthorized charges on your credit card from Facebook can be alarming. This issue is becoming more common, but there are steps you can take to address it and recover your funds.

Step 1: Contact Your Credit Card Company

Your first step should be to report the charges to your credit card provider. Most companies have fraud protection policies in place and can assist with reversing unauthorized transactions. Be sure to:

Act quickly to dispute the charges.
Provide any evidence or documentation of the unauthorized activity.
Follow their instructions to secure your account.

Step 2: Report the Issue to Facebook

In addition to contacting your credit card company, it's crucial to report the unauthorized charges directly to Facebook. This helps them investigate the issue and potentially identify any security breaches. Here's how:

Open Facebook.com on your computer.
Click the downward-facing arrow in the top right of Facebook.
Click Settings and Privacy.
Click Settings.
Scroll down the left-hand menu and click on Ads Payments.
Click Get Help at the bottom of the screen.
Follow the on-screen instructions to report your unauthorized charge.

When reporting the issue, be sure to provide as much detail as possible, including transaction IDs, dates, and any other relevant information. Request a refund and inquire about additional account security guidance to prevent future occurrences.

CI Web Group has been amazing to work with! Our company did a complete overhaul of our website and it turned out amazing.

As someone who's worked with a lot of vendors, I can confidently say CI Web Group stands out in every way. From the moment we started working together on rebuilding the HRI Plumbing website, I was blown away by their professionalism, creativity, and the sheer amount of value they bring to the table. This experience has been nothing short of awesome. The attention to detail, responsiveness, and strategic thinking they’ve shown throughout the process continue to impress me. I'm genuinely excited about what we’ve accomplished so far and what’s still ahead. Thank you to the entire CI Web Group team—you’ve made a huge impact, and I truly appreciate everything you do.

I had the pleasure of working with the CI Web Group team on an HVAC industry conference. The team helped with marketing including email, landing page development and website development. The team members are responsive and dedicated to ensuring that their clients are satisfied with the outcome. They were quick to make any changes I suggested and forthcoming with thoughts and ideas which was very helpful. I would highly recommend them!

CI Web Group has been such a joy to work with. They have been so thorough and proactive with all the onboarding and project management. For the first time since managing my company's marketing department, I have confidence that everything is being handled in a timely manner without having to micromanage them! I highly recommend CI Web Group!

Hannah Messer

Springdale Heating & Air

We have used CI Web Group for years for our website design, SEO and SEM services for our HVAC company. Our results and reporting have been stellar. We have worked with a few other online marketing companies and none of them have been as on top of web edits for us. They do a fantastic job communicating updates and new products, offer monthly reporting to ensure they are tracking results, and every single team member is easy to reach and are great communicators. Hoda has been especially wonderful lately as our lead point of contact for a complete website relaunch. A+ service and performance.

Midwest Comfort

Such a professional marketing company with team members that understand the in and outs of marketing and service. Vee is an all-star, Beca helped me create an awesome website. Can not say enough about how great CI Web Group is. I have had 3 marketing companies in the last 10-years and no one has processes like CI Web Group. Such a blessing working with Vee and Beca!!
