要約
This is a legitimate charge from Bluehost.
What is the Bluehost charge?
If you see an unexpected charge from Bluehost on your bank statement, it is often related to the automatic renewal of web hosting services or domain registrations.
Common descriptors include WEB*BLUEHOST.CO, FST*BLUEHOST, or BLU* followed by the domain name.
Automatic Renewals
By default, Bluehost services are set to automatically renew roughly 15 days before the service expiration date.
If you previously had an account, it may have automatically renewed a hosting plan or a domain name you forgot about.
- Step 1 Log in to your Bluehost Portal and review to the Billing section to view your payment history and receipts.
- Step 2 If you do not have an account, contact Bluehost’s billing department or your bank to report an unauthorized transaction.
Should I give Bluehost support my full credit card number?
No, never provide your full credit card number to anyone, even if they claim to be from support. Provide only the date, amount, and the last four digits.
Dispute Rights & Fraud Prevention
If you suspect this charge is fraudulent or billing in error, you have strict federal rights protecting your account.
Always review your statement carefully and take action within 60 days.
What should I do if I don't recognize this charge?
First, check with family members or anyone authorized on your account. If the charge remains unrecognized, contact your bank immediately to report it. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act (FCBA), you have 60 days from the statement date to dispute unauthorized credit card charges.
How long does it take for a disputed charge to be removed?
Once you file a dispute, your bank must acknowledge it within 30 days and resolve it within two billing cycles (not exceeding 90 days). During this time, the disputed amount is usually placed on a provisional hold, meaning you do not have to pay it.
