Disputing unrecognized AEO transactions
Unreviewed registry note: If you discover an AMERICAN EAGLE OUTFITTERS charge and have not shopped there recently, immediate investigation is required. Retail clothing merchants are common targets for unauthorized purchases utilizing stolen payment details. Verify with family members or teenagers in your household, as someone may have placed an order using a shared credit card.
Unreviewed registry note: Should you confirm the charge is entirely unauthorized, contact your credit card issuer to report the fraud and request a block on the compromised card. Your bank will manage the dispute process to recover the funds through a chargeback. You may also contact American Eagle's customer service to notify them of the fraudulent account activity associated with your card information.
- Report to Issuer Unreviewed registry note: Contact your bank to dispute the unauthorized apparel charge.
Will stopping the charge affect my credit score?
Unreviewed registry note: Disputing fraudulent charges via your bank does not harm your credit score, as it falls under standard fraud protection protocols.
