Fanjestic.com Deceptive Charges Linked To QR Code Scanner
Fanjestic.com is linked to many dubious charges on credit cards. Lots of people have complained that it pops up when scanning a QR code for parking payments, app downloads, Medical Bills, etc. Once users scan the QR code and submit their credit card details for the scan which is said to be free, they get charged immediately and subsequently.
How Does The Fanjestic.com Scam Work? – Users Feedback
I registered a product code with worksharper, fanjestic.com came up when i scanned the image. In order to validate the warranty, a credit card number is required. I immediately contacted worksharper’s business office. They said they would follow up with it. If their product is made in China, that is probably where the QR code on the back of the warranty card was inserted at the manufacturing plant.

I parked in a public parking lot and had to register with a QR code and fanjastic popped up and I missed it was not the company running the garage. Had already submitted my CC information and tried looking at the site later on and it is blank. I have informed the parking management company and my bank. Will look for a charge to show up.
Dave
Was trying to register a gift card. Fanjestic came up over and over. I thought it was part of the registration because it wouldnt let me do anything else until I put in my information.As soon as I realized what it was doing I tried to go back and cancel. Cant even get in the site. A complete scam. I would like it canceled immediately.

What To Do If You’re a Victim of This Deceptive Charges
- Contact your credit card provider or bank and report the charges as unauthorized
- The charge would either be reversed or preventive measures taken to stop future charges from Fanjestic.com
- Closely monitor your credit statement for any suspicious charges
You could also request for a new credit card to be on the safer side. With a new credit card, the chances of being charged by Fanjestic.com again is very slim.
The Fanjestic.com Scam Format
Fanjestic.com promotes itself as a website to get unlimited access to movies, music, games, audiobooks, etc. However, behind the well designed website is a subscription based scam.
Fake Free Trial Offer
The truth is that though the website claims to offer free five days of free access to a multitude of online content, including sports, movies, music, games, and audiobooks, it charges users notwithstanding the free trial offer.
Manipulates QR Code Scanner on Reputable Websites
Then Fanjestic scam also manipulates reputable mainstream websites. It pops up on dental office patient portals, doctor connection sites, restaurant QR code menus, parking apps, scooter rental apps, etc. as an Ad. The free entertainment trial lures people, and they end up clicking and providing their personal information.
Automatically Charges Users & Refuse Cancellation
Fanjestic.com unauthorizedly bills users monthly, sometimes as high as $49 or as low as $1. When victims attempt to contact the customer support for cancellation, they get no response. The Fraavy scam charge continues to appear on their credit even after unsubscribing.
