Description

On July 15, 2022, I made a purchase at the FYE store in Salem, OR, which is now closed. I don't remember exactly what was said, but during checkout, they asked if I would like to sign up for their membership program, and like many others, I waved it off and assumed they were going to send coupons to the email I gave. Since August 15, 2022, I have been charged 11.99/month without my consent for their "Backstage Pass Club". Today I received a Membership Renewal Notice from FYE, and I didn't remember signing up for this, so after checking back in my bank account, and doing my research, I see that many others have fallen for the same scam. It looks like FYE's corporate team also pressures cashiers to sell the scam to customers. I have lost $143.88 in total to this company and my bank may not be able to refund the entire amount. I have reached out to FYE to see what they will say.
