    Starting in March of 2024, I began receiving $9.00 monthly charges from "Bright Market LLC dba FastSpring" on my paypal for a "Personal plan." I have not initiated any services with FastSpring and have disputed these charges with PayPal. I made several attempts to reach out to FastSpring via email through their published address and gotten "Undeliverable" responses from the mail system. I have attempted to call their published phone number and gotten a "not in service" recorded message. The transaction lookup interface on their website does not allow searching by transaction ID, but instead requires disclosure of PII that I do not feel comfortable sharing with a company that I believe to be involved in fraudulent practices. I am writing this review as a warning to others, however, if the charges are not refunded through PayPal, I will escalate this to a complaint with the BBB and will be filing interstate fraud charges through the FTC and Virginia Attorney General.

    Hi D****. I do apologize for the problems you have encountered identifying the source of this recurring charge. I have searched our Support Portal and find no emails incoming from your email address. I am, however, happy to help you here. The order is associated with a subscription which began March 29, 2024 for the Personal Plan offered by https://filestar.com If after reviewing this information, you have open questions or concerns, please email us directly at support@fastspring.com.

However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.

    When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

    BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this business, please let the business know that you contacted BBB for a BBB Business Profile.
