$33M Wells Fargo Settlement Over 'Free Trial' Scams

*November 17, 2025* — Wells Fargo has agreed to pay $33 million to settle a class action lawsuit alleging the bank helped fraudsters trap customers in monthly subscription charges disguised as "risk-free trial" offers.

## What Wells Fargo Allegedly Did

The lawsuit claims Wells Fargo processed recurring charges from merchants offering "free trials" for products despite knowing these were fraudulent subscription traps. Customers were charged monthly fees for products they never ordered or agreed to purchase.

According to the complaint, Wells Fargo failed to stop the fraudulent charges even after receiving complaints and chargeback requests from customers. The bank allegedly profited from transaction fees while customers lost money to the scams.

## Who's Eligible

You may qualify if you were a Wells Fargo customer charged for monthly subscriptions after signing up for "risk-free trial" offers for products including health supplements, beauty products, or other consumer goods.

The $33M settlement will provide cash compensation to affected customers who were defrauded through these schemes.

## What Happens Next

The settlement is pending final court approval. Once approved, eligible customers will be notified and can submit claims for compensation. Settlement amounts will depend on how much each customer lost to the fraudulent charges.
