Here’s how fake sales use psychology to trick you:
You get an ad for a bag you like.
And it's 50% off, but look, a countdown says it ends in 3 hours!
So you buy the bag. Deal secured!
At least you didn't miss out on a great deal, right?
- 5 weeks later
Your bag is already falling apart.
You go back to the site and they're running the same sale as before! Am I the sucker?
You use Payback, so you're not the sucker.
You can shop worry free. We watch for brands running fake sales and work to get you refunded.
Keep what you ordered.
We'll work to get you a full refund from the brand, no returns required.
Wait, why do stores do this?
Because it's been very easy to get away with and it tricks people into ordering who otherwise wouldn't have.
Why not just get your own refunds?
You can, but it requires months of tracking their prices.
Here's the difference:
On your own
- Track every online order you place.
- Then track that store's price for 90 days or more.
- Then request the refund yourself when you spot the trick.
With Payback
- Join with a few simple clicks.
- Set it and forget it. We work in the background.
- You only pay if we get you a refund.
- You keep 80% of your refund.
You keep 80% of the refund.
- Joining is free, and we cover the cost of your first refund.
- If we recover nothing, you pay nothing.
- We are paid out of money we put back in your pocket, never before it.
Payback only makes money when it protects you.
No refund? You may have another option.
If your refund remains unresolved, you can choose to contact participating law firms interested in matters like yours, where available.
If a firm accepts your case, you pay no attorney fees or case expenses upfront. Attorney fees depend on a recovery, and case expenses are reimbursed only if money is recovered. Your lawyer will explain the terms before you decide to proceed.
Who pays for this?
Law firms pay Payback for advertising and consumer inquiries. Some pay more for sponsored placement. You never pay Payback for the connection. Contacting a firm does not guarantee representation.
$80.00
of every $100 we recover goes straight back to you.
- You keep $80.00
- Payback is paid $20.00
Frequently asked questions
What is deceptive pricing?
Deceptive pricing is when a business presents a price in a misleading way, so a product looks cheaper or like a better deal than it really is. It covers fake discounts, hidden fees, bait-and-switch tactics and misleading free offers. These practices mislead shoppers and are regulated.
Why do stores do this?
Because it's easy to get away with it. Enforcement has been very rare, until Payback.
Is Payback free?
Yes, it is free to get started, and we even cover the cost of your first refund. After that you keep 80% of any money we recover for you.
If we are not able to get you a refund, you pay nothing.
There are lawyers who want to take these cases on. If we cannot get your refund, we may offer lawyers the opportunity to connect with you as a potential lead. You are under no obligation to work with any lawyer who purchases your information from us.
Why is it regulated?
Deceptive pricing is regulated to protect shoppers from being misled about the true cost or value of a product. Misleading pricing distorts fair competition, damages trust and leads to unfair purchasing decisions.
Rules that require honest prices let people make informed choices, and they keep the market fair for the brands that play straight.
Does it actually work?
Yes. Companies who know that they are in the wrong will typically issue refunds quickly to avoid legal trouble.
To prevent abuse, you may only receive a refund from a brand once. After you have received a refund from a brand, all other orders from that brand are unprotected.
