Overbiller

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Signed up for a TotalAV text offer; initial $1.99 trial, then $39 billed.
  • - No fixes from the AV scan; spam texts persist; seven charges.
Total Av - Overbiller

I signed up for a text message I received regarding how helpful the total AV would be as far as spam and such the initial fee was supposed to be $1.99 to try it. I added the total AV for $39 after I did that, they said something that made it look like that if you add these other services, they were included in the 30 die.

Die died when they were 3999 for each service or more anyway subsequently I was billed for seven services. I found nothing fixed from the initial AV scan. Nothing was repaired nothing was fixed and it certainly hasnt done anything to this day. Im still getting at least 15 spam text messages a day to say how many emails so nothing has really been rectified or done as expected.

I would like to recover all that excess money that was made to look like it was part of one bill, but it was an individual bill.

No dont take it Heppard Dellova Docs. Thank you much Charlie now I save your problem.

To publicize their bad business dealings, and dishonesty scammers they really are

AI Highlights
  • - Alleges no dealings with TotalAV; unauthorized $40 withdrawals.
  • - Claims subscriptions; cancellation and refund; $9.99 at 1:42 am declined.
Total Av - To publicize their bad business dealings, and dishonesty scammers they really...

totalav.com, I have never had any business dealings with this merchant. none at all.

somehow they got my banking account info, ran transactions in my checking account and took over $40 out of my account, money that was to pay my real bills with, not a place like totalav, falsely using my info to do transactions on my bank, false subscriptions they claimed I owed to them and that was a lie. my bank blocked them completely after I disputed them and wonderfully taking funds from me, when truthfully I never done any type of business with them at all. I had to call their business to request a cancellation of a subscription that I never signed up for, and request a refund for money they stole from me. and now again, I find a denied transaction from them at 1:42 am.

I was not doing any dealings with that damn place or on my phone at that time of night that total av is claiming a $9.99 transaction but was declined due to low funds, other wise if I still had money in my account, totalav would have again, wonderfully took my money. now they have somehow got in it almost again, lucky it was declined. I am going to nail their *** to the wall.

maybe I can bring real charges on them for scamming innocent citizens taking money from people bank accounts. Lord Jesus I place this matter, right now, in your hands to watch over us all, and to remind me of making the calls to report issue and get them out of people's money in the bank because they are totally being dishonest, same as a thief.

DONT BE PLAYED

Loss:
$45
Cons:
  • Are definitely did honest cons

Preferred solution: assurance to keep them out of my bank accounts. them stop being dishonest and taking money as if you had a subscription with them, because if we do not recognize the scams to stop them they keep money they're lying and stealing from innocent people.

User's recommendation: I do not recommend total av. com

Resolved: AV not working. AD stopper not working

AI Highlights
  • - Customer says support never answers calls, live agents aren't available, AV and ad blocking don't work, and real answers are needed.
Updated by user Mar 06, 2026

Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with full refund. Refund. Don't buy the product.

Updated by user Feb 20, 2026

Sucked. I was given number after number which did not work.

When I found a working number is when I found pissed consumer. Gave up. Want a refund but I bet that will never happen.

Extremely poor decision on my part over norton. How can Total get away with this w/o getting gov't entities involved.

Original review Feb 19, 2026

First, answer your damn phone and face the music. Next, make real answers available.

Like, why isn't the AV or ad blocking working? Secondly, answer the damn phone with live people.

Better you go out of business than to push this non-working crap onto the market. Third, answer the damn phone with live people or get out of the business!

Loss:

Cons:
  • Does not work

Updated by user Mar 31, 2026

Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with settlement agreement. Lower price for year. Call them if problem is fixed great ,if facing issues still call back and cancelation may be the route to go.

Original review Mar 16, 2026

I called in, and my headset was on. The gentleman that answered replied he could not hear me.

I turned the headset off and answered his questions. He found my account.

The customer help person was talking, then communication between him and me was cut off and then came back on four times. This occurred, and the customer help person said he was going to disconnect the phone call and hung up on me.

I'm waiting for cancellation and refund in the amount of $96.97 ($39.00 + $38.97 + $19.00). I tried to log in to my account and failed to do so.

I tried to change my password so many times by resetting it. As a result, I have to cancel my account.

Please refund me as soon as possible. I don't know my account number.

They took $9.99 off my card again ,without my permission ,knowledge or any subscription and when I called to tell Total AV what they done to me again after doing this to me 3 times ,he hung up on me

AI Highlights
  • - User claims Google threatens to close accounts to coerce action.
  • - Adtranquility warns my phone has 18 viruses.

Google is also to blame, honestly knowing what they always do to people any time they get a chance to screw people over. So with Google knowing, why would Google threaten people by making them afraid that Google will close my account if people like me don't go straight to Adtranquility where Google has that warning on it to me about my phone having 18 viruses on it?

If I don't do it, Google will close my account permanently with all of my family photos and my deceased parents too, that could never be replaced. Why would Google do this to people like me who have always trusted Google to do what it says but not after Google is just as guilty as Adtranquility? Maybe for money, I don't know.

The sad thing is everybody is scared of Google, so Google will keep getting by with doing this to all the people he can. And OMG, that's so many people because he gets by with anything Google does, but it still ain't right.

Cancellation of all accounts and services

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Unable to cancel all accounts/services via system.
  • - Cancel these accounts and others; stop billed services immediately; expect AmEx charge rejection.

I have been unable to cancel all accounts and services using your system, as there seems to be no software-aided approach. Cancel these accounts (and any others that might exist) and all services being billed under these or any other accounts that exist effective immediately. I will order American Express to reject any charges after this date.

Loss:
$500
Cons:
  • By design it is impossible to manage accounts

Preferred solution: cancellation of all accounts, stoppage of automatic charging to my credit cards

User's recommendation: stay away from Total AV

Well you refunded $9.99 . Now if you don’t mind refund the other $9.99.

I have never had such issues before. It’s ridiculous to have to get online and be nasty with people because they think you won’t notice that they are stealing your money. I’m waiting for the other refund of $9.99.

Thank you. Have a blessed day.

Original review Oct 01, 2025

I canceled my subscription back in May. You have charged me $9.99 for the past two months.

Put my money back in my account. I don't want your services anymore.

  • - Called on 08-26; promised fix, unresolved, and payment demanded.

I subscribed to your service a week ago and cannot get the service work. I called on 08-26, talked to a person who said he would fix the problem, but the problem was not fixed.

I tried to get information on your website but couldn't.

I called for help, but you want me to pay just to get my problem fixed. Please cancel service and send me a refund.
