Is fraavy.com a Scam? Fraavy Unwanted Charges

I scanned a QR code for a Lumos Learning book to access their online content associated with my purchase. I didn't realize it was "Fraavy" and assumed Lumos wanted to verify my payment information to make sure I was the one who purchased the book. I didn't see the content, so I typed the web address from the Lumos book which took me to the correct website.

I was suspicious of course and Googled "Fraavy" and came across others with similar scenarios. There was a $1 draft on my bank account. I called my bank immediately and canceled my card.

I will absolutely be more vigilant when scanning QR codes from now on. I never realized this could be an issue!

They have created a new website called starller.com. Both websites use 1 833 213 1891 as their telephone number.

Attempting to down load an app for a LG TV from the play store. Thought it was strange that I had to give my credit card info to get the app. Then the fraavy app opened on my phone. No icon showed up on the phone. I called and they said it would be canceled, don't believed them. Called the bank canceled the card. Hope that is the end of it.

Same. Used the "Parkmobile" app and they piggy backed on my credit card purchase because in NO WAY did I knowingly see their name or was I prompted for a verification of their service. Someone at the FBI needs to step in here.

Likewise, tried signing up for Uber got fraavy, beware!

Aug 31, 2023 at 4:32 PM by an anonymous user from: Woodburn, Oregon, United States

Same. Got a "trial subscription" to "Fraavy" but don't even know how or how they got my card number. Our bank called us as this company obviously has a record by now. After reading comments saying that even when the subscription is supposed to be cancelled it remains open I decided to just cancel the debit card and hope the bank's fraud department will shut "Fraavy" & "Moolitma.net" down!

Fraavy highjacked an Uber app. Charged credit card $1.00 immediately which I found when I called my credit card company within 10 minutes. Who regulates these jerks online? Congressional action is needed to ensure these kinds of scams are eradicated and those responsible are prosecuted.

My situation is similar to what you all have experienced, with a twist. I had to cancel a card due to fraudulent activity. I went on a search for malware removal and followed the instructions, thinking they needed the information and $1 for the service. After doing that so they were doing what they could to clean it up, I found that I was the proud owner of a fraavy subscription. Their customer service line sounded like a fax machine and that was as close as I got to contacting them. So I had to cancel TWO cards in a few hours! So nervous about touching my computer at this point...

Aug 3, 2023 at 8:03 PM by an anonymous user from: Cedar Hill, Tennessee, United States

did anyone call the number on their site? 1-866-471-9677? I "canceled" it there. Did anyone go that route and have success with it?

It was trying to download a parking app which is when fraavy got me.

Jul 23, 2023 at 3:16 AM by an anonymous user from: Paragould, Arkansas, United States

Was signing up for notification history app on the play store. Immediately brought me to the sign up page after hitting open in Google play. Said I wouldn't be charged for the free addition. Didn't realize it wasn't the app until it the fraavy website displayed. And like everyone else I was charged a dollar.what I really don't understand is how we all have charges from different websites or companies, and the site is still operational. Ridiculous!

Aug 11, 2023 at 2:59 PM by an anonymous user from: Syracuse, New York, United States

I had the same experience many of you had, but are you ready for this? I was attempting to get assistance with malware removal when I was actually subscribing to fraavy. Their customer service number sounds like a fax machine. No luck finding any way to cancel so far. Will continue to read blogs for any possible help.

Jul 21, 2023 at 1:39 PM by an anonymous user from: Crownsville, Maryland, United States

I had the same experience. I tried to add a parking app to my phone and to register took me to the Fravvy site. While I thought I was signing up for the parking app it was some type of bait and switch. We did get the charges removed.
