If a charge from Tara Medium has appeared on your card or bank statement, the realistic route to a Tara Medium refund is a chargeback through the card issuer or bank that processed the payment, not a request to the service itself. The operation publishes no refund policy, no customer service contact, and no clear business identity to negotiate with, and consumers who have tried even to unsubscribe report that the link does not work.1Netmums.

How to Dispute the Charge With Your Card Issuer
Under the Fair Credit Billing Act, you have the right to dispute unauthorized charges and billing errors, and your credit card issuer is required to investigate.4Federal Trade Commission. Using Credit Cards and Disputing Charges The deadlines are tight, so move quickly.
- Send a written dispute within 60 days of the date the first statement containing the charge was mailed to you.4Federal Trade Commission. Using Credit Cards and Disputing Charges
- Address the letter to the billing inquiries address your issuer designates, not the general payment address. Include your name, account number, the amount and date of the charge, the merchant name as it appears on your statement, and a short description of why the charge is unauthorized or incorrect. Use certified mail with a return receipt.
- The issuer must acknowledge your dispute in writing within 30 days and resolve it within 90 days.4Federal Trade Commission. Using Credit Cards and Disputing Charges
- You do not have to pay the disputed amount or related finance charges while the investigation is open, and the issuer cannot report you as delinquent on that amount during that time.5California Office of the Attorney General. Credit Cards – Dispute a Charge
- Federal law caps your liability for unauthorized credit card charges at $50.4Federal Trade Commission. Using Credit Cards and Disputing Charges
If you authorized the payment but did not receive what was promised, the dispute is framed differently. This is a “claims and defenses” dispute, which requires that you first made a good-faith effort to resolve the problem with the merchant. For online purchases, the usual rule limiting these disputes to merchants in your home state or within 100 miles may not apply.5California Office of the Attorney General. Credit Cards – Dispute a Charge Document your attempt to contact the service, even if the email bounces or the unsubscribe link fails; the attempt is what the rule requires.
You can also start the process by phone. Most card issuers’ fraud departments will open a chargeback the same day and post a provisional credit while they investigate. If the issuer denies your claim, you have 10 days to appeal, and you can file a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
Stopping Future Charges
When you call the issuer, ask two things beyond the dispute itself. First, ask them to block the merchant from charging the card again. Second, if more than one charge has already posted, flag each one; recurring charges after an initial payment are a reported pattern with this operation, and each posting has its own 60-day clock. If charges keep arriving, closing the card and having a new number issued ends the ability to post further transactions to that account.
Where to Report It
Reporting the activity will not get your money back on its own, but it feeds the complaint data regulators use to spot patterns and prioritize cases. The FTC takes fraud reports at reportfraud.ftc.gov, and the Better Business Bureau runs a Scam Tracker at bbb.org/scamtracker.6AARP.

Recognize the Pattern So You Don’t Pay Again
The scheme typically opens with a “free” reading delivered within 48 hours, then shifts to warnings that a large financial windfall or significant life event is being blocked by “negative energies” or a “negative spell,” which can only be cleared by paying for a ritual.1Netmums.

Medium Told Me Something Astonishing A smaller number is still a payment to the same operation, and giving a card to settle a lower-priced “ritual” opens the door to further charges.
