  • I got $500 unexplained chargeback from bluehost
DateDec 8, 2023

I don’t know why.

I want to know if others face similar things.

The ticket number is

S-2464586

I got charged for $500 sometimes in July and bluehost cannot find the charge

It’s written

20-JUL 21-JUL WEB*BLUEHOST.COM 888-4014678 US (USD 503,64 X 15.275,75) 7.693.478

I contacted support. I told them my last digit card numbers. Possible email. They cannot find the charge. They claimed they will escalate this to tickets AND EMAIL me the transcript of the chat.

Until today I still haven’t received the transcript of the chat. Being suspicious, I copy and paste that anyway

I got to read that from bottom to up because that’s how the copy and paste work in bluehost chat. Which is why I asked for their transcript

I still have one new account with them. Should I quit and move the hell on?

Bluehost charge $500. They can’t even find the charge.

They created a ticket.

Thank you for the information. Unfortunately I am unable to find any such accounts with us. If we could get the actual email on the file, or invoice number, it would be helpful. Usually, an invoice for any payment is always sent to the email on the file, it will have all the details about the account name or domain, including the invoice number. Without these details, we are not able to locate any exact account here with the given info above.

Business said

4:10 PM

The account was most likely deleted

You said

You said

4:12 PM

if it wasn’t huge I would have moved on and be careful next time

You said

4:13 PM

the last time I hear $500 charge is when my website got hacked and bluehost support say I can pay $500 or fix that my self. Years ago I fixed that my self

You said

4:14 PM

Which is why I presume the $500 is probably not “consensual” charge. Like Bluehost know I wouldn’t pay and charged me. Maybe some of my site were hacked again. I wasn

You said

4:14 PM

I wasn’

You said

4:14 PM

I wasn’t aware because nothing important is hosted there. I would have prefered suspending the sites or even deleting it.

You said

4:15 PM

You know what. I got no choice but to warn others of $500 frivolous charge. Unless there is evidence it’s not from you.

You said

4:15 PM

So what about ****@********.com ? What were the charges for that account?

You said

4:17 PM

I think I paid bluehost several time with ****@********.com account. That’s it. Then the $500 charge

You said

4:18 PM

I used that card with bluehost several time. That charge is not unique. It’s the same card I used to pay normal hosting amount

You said

4:18 PM

I could like to escalate your case to the Billing department.So that you issue will be fixed .ones the issue is fixed you will get a email regarding .

Business said

4:18 PM

It’s the same number I used for my account now. It’s just that the card is “new” with newer expiration date but the number is the same. It’s essentially the same card

You said
