What is it?

Showtime Sub charge for $8.99 without my authorization. It is amazon, not fraud, from digital dept - mostly associated with fire stick or if you watch amazon online. I gave my dad a fire stick associatied with my account and he accidentally selected showtime free trial for 7 days, he didn't know it would start charging $8.99 after that. I called the amazon help desk and they reversed the charge and stopped the subscription. Luckily make bank alerts me to online purchases without swiping my card.

This is a scam. They charged my debit card and I called the number that charged me and the person that I was talking to didn't sound legit. When I got on the phone their was a lot of background noise when that person I was talking to. Additionally they asked for my address and my debit card number. So I automatically ended the call and called my bank to file a claim.

Just called the number beside the charge on my cc: 1-866-216-1072. Got a non-native American on the line, scared me. Then she asked for personal info - name, address. Said they were, in fact Amazon, but I was leery of that after reading all the above comments. She informed me that the $8.99 monthly charge (yeah, I just caught on) was for a subscription to Showtime. She transferred me to another guy (I figured I would be hung up on or never answered if this was fraud, but he did come on the line). He said the charge came through the Amazon one-click feature from my Vizio smart tv. Yes, I have one of those and yes, one-click is turned on. I will now be having a serious conversation with my 18-year old son. Ugh.

I got this same charge on my American Express for $10.22. I did not order anything like this from Amazon. In dispute with Amex now.

Can you help? What is this charge?
