I was checking this after it appeared on my credit card, but was able to match it to a purchase I made for Kaspersky Antivirus. Seems legit (in my case anyway YMMV)

I did make one purchase for Internet security that resulted in the first charge, but a few days later I was charged again without making a purchase. So I wouldn't say it's totally legit.

DigitalRiver Ireland has managed to steal money out of my bank account. I don't know who they are but on researching them on the internet they seem to be able to do what they want with other people's money. They are a scam. Report them immediately.

I have only been charged $15 by Digital River Ireland Sydney but i did not authorize this transaction and i did not purchase or authorize the purchase of any software as some have mentioned in previous posts. I have disputed this with my bank and they have advised funds will be returned within 3 days and a new card issued. This is clearly not a legitimate transaction.

I just saw a debit for @54.99 on my VISA card so I rang my bank. They told me that they will have to cancel my card and issue another. A safe solution - but now I have to contact everyone with whom I have direct debit arrangements. This is a long and onerous task which I can not commence until I receive my new card and its number. This is a real pain!

I was charged with $45.63 from Digital River Ireland and it was for my Kaspersky Antivirus software . Automatic renewal, which is OK as I needed to renew it. Perhaps they are covering a few different brands of Anitirus software. If your software becomes out of date, most of them have a built in auto renewal. It's good to set it up and leave it as you need something to protect your computer.

Noticed a bill of $69.99 charged to my debit card under 'DIGITALRIVER IRELAND SYDNEY NS AUS' and immediately became suspicious, but upon checking the date, it appears to be for my 12 month renewal of Avast Antivirus. So in my case, it was a legitimate transaction. Just wish it'd appear as 'Avast AntiVirus' on my statement, to avoid confusion.

Renewal for AVG virus protection was due so paid the subscription through my credit card . However the next day a similar charge & description came up under Digital River Ireland Sydney. I became suspicious & contacted my bank & cancelled the card. Also contacted AVG & they have agreed to refund the money charged. AVG were most apologetic but has caused a lot of inconvenience.

Just noticed a charge from this company for $188 on my bank statement. I recently purchased a new computer and at the same time new internet security which was supposed to be a 12 month subscription for $49. I did not purchase the product online through digital river. I followed up with my bank and the provider and have had to cancel my card and go through the dispute resolution process. The contact numbers I was given for Digital River have been disconnected and the URL appears to link directly to the legitimate software company but the page is unavailable. The only other contact number has a voice message advising that they are only open Monday to Friday. I don't know how they managed to obtain my card details but I agree with previous posts that this appears to be a scam.

I use Trend Micro for computer, mobile and iPad security. I have been receiving emails from Trend Micro advising my account would expire on a certain date. I rang and renewed for another 12 months. ( chose not to agree to “ auto renewal”. I was charged 135.95 via credit card and the understanding I will receive a $ 50 credit in a number of weeks as a bonus for renewing. I have faith that this will happen as found them to be helpful. It wasn’t until I noticed the details relating to the transaction “ DIGITALRIVER IRELAND” and googled it that I recognise the transaction as the one from Trend Micro.

In my case, this appears to be a legitimate transaction for my Trend Micro anti-virus software. The renewal notice period and dollar amount $99.95 matches with the email correspondence I have and although the email suggests that the transaction will show "DRI*Trend Micro" as the merchant, it actually shows as "DIGITALRIVER IRELAND SYDNEY AU". DRI = DIGITALRIVER IRELAND apparently...

Had a charge of $69.55 taken off my credit card, by Digital River AU. I had cancelled this software payment two years before. Also during this time my bank changed fro Visa to Mastercard with a whole new set of numbers and I.D. I originally dealt through Digital River Ireland. This payment was taken by Digital River.AU. This is definitely a scam site. I cannot get a reply from either group.

My charge is $53.99 last one being. 10/10/2023 Any contact numbers I have tried are not acknowledging me, and this so-called company is not available to contact in any form. This has to be another scam
