Decoding CAMEO *VIDEO REQUEST
Unreviewed registry note: A statement entry labeled CAMEO *VIDEO REQUEST represents a charge from Baron App, Inc. (Cameo), the online marketplace that connects fans with actors, athletes, musicians, and internet creators. When you book through the platform, you purchase a personalized celebrity video shoutout or a direct message greeting. Transactions also appear under statement aliases such as CAMEO.COM, BARON APP INC, or CAMEO *SHOUTOUT. Prices vary by creator, from $10 for newer online creators to hundreds of dollars for well-known figures.
Unreviewed registry note: Most cardholders encounter this charge after ordering a video gift for a milestone such as a birthday or retirement. When you submit your booking prompt, Cameo places an initial authorization hold on your card for the total order amount. The creator has seven days to review the prompt and record the video. The payment only transitions from a temporary pending hold to a settled charge once the talent uploads the finished recording to the platform. If the creator runs out of time or declines the booking, the temporary hold simply expires and releases back to your available balance.
Unreviewed registry note: If you do not recognize this transaction, check with relatives or household members who share access to your computer or payment cards. Someone may have booked a shoutout using your saved autofill credentials or an app store account. You can verify your purchase history by visiting your account dashboard at cameo.com/orders or checking your inbox for confirmation emails from Baron App, Inc. If no one in your household placed this order, contact your card issuer immediately to report unauthorized card use and dispute the billing.
