Why it shows up like this
Unreviewed registry note: A line item on your bank statement reading AURA* IDENTITY THEFT represents a subscription payment processed by Aura Sub, LLC. This company provides consumer cybersecurity tools bundled together under the Aura Digital Security & Identity Protection platform. The service monitors credit bureau files and alerts users to data breaches.
Unreviewed registry note: The charge typically shows up as a monthly or annual recurring payment. Monthly individual plans usually cost around $12 to $15, while couple and family plans range from $20 to $37 each month. Annual plans bill as a single lump-sum charge ranging between $120 and $300 once per year. Many cardholders sign up for a 14-day promotional free trial or receive a discounted introductory rate through an employer wellness benefit or affiliate partnership. Once that promotional period ends, Aura Sub, LLC automatically renews the account at the full standard rate, resulting in an unexpected statement charge.
Unreviewed registry note: Seeing a charge descriptor mentioning identity theft protection when you never registered for the service can be alarming. First check whether a spouse or household member purchased family protection to cover shared devices. If no one in your home authorized the transaction, your payment details may have been compromised and used by an unauthorized party. Contact your financial institution immediately to report the fraudulent charge, initiate a dispute, and obtain a replacement card.
Common reasons for this charge
Unreviewed registry note: Subscription charges from Aura Sub, LLC usually occur on automated monthly or annual renewal schedules. The most frequent unexpected charges happen when introductory promotional periods or two-week free trials expire.
- Unreviewed registry note: An ongoing monthly or annual Aura individual or family protection plan renewed.
- Unreviewed registry note: A 14-day free trial concluded and converted into a paid subscription.
- Unreviewed registry note: An annual subscription renewed automatically on the account anniversary.
Dispute Rights & Fraud Prevention
