Unable to cancel Webroot Subscription


Hello,

I used to have a laptop that I used Webroot on until I replaced the laptop in March 2023. Prior to getting rid of it, I believed I had cancelled the subscription to Webroot. However, I was just checking bank statements now and saw I was charged 29.99 for “Webroot Yearly Plan” in October 2024 Since I lack the keycode to cancel since the laptop is gone, I attempted to put in my email to Webroot’s Auto-renewal Cancellation link here:

https://www.webroot.com/us/en/auto-renewal-optout

Which gave me the response shown in the attached picture. So I called the number and Best Buy confirmed what I had said, that the subscription had been cancelled in March 2023. I asked for my keycode to attempt cancelling on Webroot site just in case, which they gave me. When I entered the keycode, I got the other attached image, saying this license is not currently enrolled in autorenewal. The Best Buy support person was unsure of how to help and recommended I call Webroot and gave me their support number. Unfortunately Webroot’s number was useless. It routed me through various unhelpful automated responses before finally hitting me with a dead end and ending the call on me. Does anyone here have any ideas or suggestions?

Hello ​@chalon9 

 

Is it from Webroot Directly or from Best Buy Geek Squad? You have the correct page for Webroot Direct but if from Best Buy you will have to contact them as we can’t help you only Best Buy.

As I said in the post, it directed me to call Best Buy which I did. They told me the auto-renewal was turned off and I shouldn’t have been charged. But I was. So they recommend I call Webroot directly, but I was unable to speak to an actual person. If anyone can even jut provide a number to talk to a real person at Webroot, that would be helpful.

So the Charge was from Best Buy or from Webroot?
