Jan 24, 2023 | Advice

If you bought a Neosurf Ticket by mistake, or if you changed your mind, it is indeed possible to get a refund of the balance of your Neosurf code. However, beware, many sites that impersonate Neosurf and spread false information, try to steal your code.

Neosurf code refund, a popular keyword for fraudsters

Users who are not familiar with the principle of prepaid cards are the target of many fraudsters. The idea is to attract these customers to copies of the official Neosurf website in order to steal the code of Neosurf Tickets.

Very often, the scammers will succeed in referencing their fake form in search engines and stealing codes from users by offering a refund.

Customers who think they are on the official Neosurf website will then enter the code in a form, but it will be automatically retrieved by a malicious person who will not hesitate to use it on their side without the user’s knowledge.

When the customer realizes that no refund will arrive, it is often too late: the fraudster has already used the balance of the Neosurf code and the Ticket is completely emptied, leaving the user with no possibility of getting a refund.

Fake sites that offer to refund your Neosurf code

To reach their goal, fraudsters will imagine many more or less elaborate methods. From copying the official Neosurf website to creating a (fake) refund or exchange service.
