How to cancel Secomvpn and stop recurring charges in malaysia
What Secomvpn is and what malaysian users actually pay for
Secomvpn is a subscription-based virtual private network service that encrypts your internet connection, masks your IP address, and allows you to switch your apparent location. You pay a recurring fee for unlimited VPN usage and the ability to run up to seven concurrent sessions across multiple devices simultaneously.
Service overview and company transparency
Public information about Secomvpn remains limited. The official help resources and terms of service do not clearly disclose the founding year, parent company, headquarters location, or user base. This lack of transparency is precisely why Yafee specializes in helping Malaysian consumers navigate the cancellation process for services where company details are deliberately obscured.
The service operates as a standard software-as-a-service (SaaS) subscription model, meaning you receive ongoing access rather than owning a product outright. Consequently, your account remains active only as long as your subscription remains current and the recurring charge continues to process.
Pricing structure and what you are charged
Secomvpn offers two primary subscription tiers, both charged in United States dollars and converted to Malaysian ringgit at the point of billing. The actual ringgit amount you see on your statement depends on the exchange rate on your billing date, typically approximating 1 USD = RM4.72 based on recent conversions.

The annual plan costs significantly less per month than the monthly option, which is why many users select it initially. However, if you decide the service no longer suits your needs, the annual commitment means you may lose unused months unless you cancel before the next renewal date or successfully claim a refund under Malaysian consumer law.
Your consumer rights under malaysian law and how they protect you
Your right to cancel Secomvpn is grounded in the Consumer Protection Act 1999, the primary legislation governing subscription services and distance contracts in Malaysia.
Legal framework and your position
The Consumer Protection Act 1999 (CPA 1999) establishes that any contract for the supply of goods or services-including digital subscriptions-must be conducted with transparency and good faith. Under this Act, you hold the following legal position:
- You may cancel a distance contract (one you entered into online or by telephone) within 10 calendar days of the contract date, without penalty or justification, provided the service has not been substantially performed.
- You are entitled to clear, accurate information about the total cost, billing cycle, cancellation method, and any auto-renewal terms before you complete payment.
- The service provider must process cancellations promptly and cease charging your card immediately upon receiving your cancellation notice.
- You are protected against unfair contract terms that unilaterally favour the supplier or impose unreasonable penalties for cancellation.
Furthermore, under the CPA 1999, any subscription service that automatically renews must provide you with a simple, accessible mechanism to cancel at any time. The law does not permit the provider to hide cancellation instructions or make the process deliberately onerous.
Your legal position block
Your legal position: You may cancel Secomvpn at any time under the Consumer Protection Act 1999. If you are within 10 days of purchase and have not substantially used the service, you are entitled to a full refund. If you are beyond the 10-day window, you remain entitled to cancel immediately; the provider must cease billing, though refund eligibility for the current billing period depends on their stated policy and the fairness test under the CPA 1999. If Secomvpn refuses to cancel or continues to charge after you have submitted a cancellation request, you may escalate to the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDNKK) or file a complaint with the Federation of Malaysian Consumers Associations (FMCA).
How to cancel Secomvpn step by step
Cancellation success depends on identifying where your recurring payment originates and submitting a clear cancellation notice to the correct channel before your next billing date.
Step one: identify your billing source and account details
Before you cancel, you must determine whether your subscription was purchased directly through the Secomvpn website, via the Apple App Store, or via Google Play. This is critical because the cancellation method differs for each platform, and cancelling in only one location while the billing remains active elsewhere is a common reason why charges continue after you thought you had cancelled.
- Check your most recent bank statement or credit card transaction history.
- Identify the exact merchant name shown on the charge (for example, "SECOMVPN.COM", "APPLE.COM/BILL", or "GOOGLE PAYMENTS").
- Log into your account on the relevant platform (website, App Store, or Google Play) and navigate to your subscription or billing section.
- Record the following information and take screenshots:
- Current plan name and subscription status
- Next billing date and amount
- Your account email address
- Transaction ID or subscription reference number
- Save a copy of your most recent payment receipt for your records.
Step two: cancel directly through Secomvpn if you subscribed via website
If your bank statement shows a charge directly from Secomvpn.com or a payment processor associated with the Secomvpn website, you must submit a cancellation request through their official support channel.
- Visit the Secomvpn Help page at secomvpn.com/help.
- Locate the contact form or support email address.
- Submit a cancellation request using clear, formal language. Include:
- Your account email address
- Your subscription reference number or transaction ID
- Your request to cancel immediately and cease all future charges
- The statement: "I request cancellation under the Consumer Protection Act 1999 and require written confirmation of cancellation within 5 business days"
- Send the request from the email address associated with your Secomvpn account.
- Keep a copy of your sent email and the date you submitted it.
Step three: cancel through apple app store if you subscribed on iOS
If you purchased Secomvpn through an Apple device and your statement shows "APPLE.COM/BILL" or similar, your subscription is managed through the App Store, not directly by Secomvpn. You must cancel through Apple to stop the recurring charge.
- On your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, open the Settings app.
- Tap your name at the top of the screen, then select "Subscriptions".
- Locate Secomvpn in the list and tap it.
- Tap "Cancel Subscription" and confirm the cancellation.
- Apple will display a cancellation confirmation screen. Take a screenshot of this confirmation.
- You will receive a cancellation confirmation email from Apple within minutes.
- Verify on your next billing date that no charge appears.
Step four: cancel through google play if you subscribed on android
If you subscribed via Google Play on an Android device or through the Play Store website, Google manages your recurring payment, not Secomvpn directly.
- Open the Google Play app on your Android device or visit play.google.com in a web browser.
- Tap your profile icon in the top right corner and select "Payments and subscriptions".
- Tap "Subscriptions" to view your active subscriptions.
- Select Secomvpn from the list.
- Tap "Cancel subscription" and follow the on-screen prompts to confirm.
- Google will ask if you want to provide feedback. You may skip this step.
- You will receive a confirmation email from Google Play.
- Monitor your account for two billing cycles to confirm the recurring charge has stopped.
Step five: follow up and obtain written confirmation
Cancellation is not complete until you receive written confirmation from the relevant platform stating that your subscription has been terminated and no further charges will occur.
- If you cancelled via website or support email, send a follow-up email within 3 business days if you have not received a response. Reference your original cancellation request and state that you require confirmation within 48 hours.
- If you cancelled via App Store or Google Play, check your email inbox and spam folder for Apple or Google confirmation messages.
- Create a folder in your email and label it "Secomvpn Cancellation" containing all cancellation emails, screenshots, and receipts.
- Screenshot your subscription status page showing "No active subscriptions" or "Subscription cancelled".
What happens after you cancel Secomvpn
Cancellation takes effect immediately in legal terms, but account access and billing cycles follow slightly different timelines depending on where you subscribed.
Access and service continuity after cancellation
In most cases, once your cancellation is processed, you retain VPN access until the end of your paid billing period. For example, if you cancel on 15 March and your billing date is 20 April, you will typically keep full VPN access until 20 April. After that date, your account will be disabled and you cannot reconnect unless you reactivate the subscription.
This grace period is neither a legal right nor a guarantee; it depends on Secomvpn's own policy. Consequently, if you cancel because of a security concern or because you no longer trust the service, you should assume access may cease immediately and plan accordingly.
Device cleanup and data security after cancellation
When you cancel, Secomvpn no longer manages your internet traffic. You should:
- Uninstall the Secomvpn app from all your devices to prevent reconnection or automatic updates.
- Verify that your internet connection is no longer routed through the VPN by visiting a website that displays your IP address (for example, whatismyipaddress.com).
- Check that any browser extensions related to Secomvpn have been removed.
- If you were using the VPN to bypass geo-blocking, confirm that you can access your usual streaming services or websites without the VPN active.
Refund eligibility and what you may recover
Your entitlement to a refund depends on the timing of your cancellation and the fairness of Secomvpn's refund policy under Malaysian consumer law.
Refunds within 10 days of purchase
Under the Consumer Protection Act 1999, you have the right to cancel a distance contract within 10 calendar days of the date you completed the transaction, provided the service has not been substantially performed. If you cancel within this window, you are entitled to a full refund of all amounts paid, with no deduction for service usage or administrative fees.
Secomvpn must process this refund within 14 days of receiving your cancellation notice. The refund will be credited to your original payment method (credit card, debit card, or digital wallet).
Refunds beyond 10 days
If you cancel more than 10 days after your purchase, your refund depends on Secomvpn's stated cancellation and refund policy. If the service provider claims a "no refund" policy or charges a cancellation fee, you may challenge this under the CPA 1999 if the term is unfair or unconscionable.
Yafee advises that any cancellation fee or "non-refundable" clause that prevents you from recovering a prorated portion of your subscription (the unused days remaining in your billing period) may be unenforceable if it breaches the fairness standard in the CPA 1999. For example, if you paid RM330 for a 365-day annual subscription and you cancel after 30 days, a refund of approximately RM304 for the remaining 335 days is legally defensible.
How to claim a refund
- Submit your cancellation request and explicitly state "I request a refund under the Consumer Protection Act 1999".
- Include your transaction ID, account email, cancellation date, and the amount you paid.
- If Secomvpn refuses to refund, contact your bank or payment provider and dispute the charge as "cancellation not honoured" or "unwanted recurring charge".
- Preserve all evidence: cancellation confirmation emails, bank statements, screenshots, and correspondence with Secomvpn.
- If the refund dispute fails at your bank, lodge a formal complaint with the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDNKK) or the FMCA with copies of all documentation.
Common mistakes people make when cancelling Secomvpn
Most Secomvpn cancellations fail silently-the user thinks they have cancelled, but the recurring charge continues because a critical step was skipped. You can avoid this with discipline and written confirmation.
Mistake one: cancelling only on the mobile app
If you subscribed via Google Play or Apple, you must cancel through that platform, not through the Secomvpn app itself. Deleting the Secomvpn app does not cancel your subscription. Many users uninstall the app, assume they are cancelled, and discover weeks later that the recurring charge continued. Always cancel through the original platform (App Store, Google Play, or website), then uninstall the app.
Mistake two: failing to document the cancellation
Yafee strongly recommends taking screenshots of every cancellation step. If a charge appears after you believe you cancelled, your screenshots and the timestamp on your confirmation email are your proof that you submitted the cancellation request on a specific date. Without documentation, Secomvpn and your bank may dispute your refund claim.
Mistake three: not monitoring your bank statement after cancellation
Do not assume the charge will stop simply because you received a confirmation email. Monitor your bank statement for at least two billing cycles after cancellation. If a charge appears, contact your bank immediately and reference your cancellation confirmation email and the CPA 1999 as the basis for disputing the charge.
Mistake four: cancelling only via email to a generic support address
Email support can be slow or ignored. If possible, use the official account cancellation feature within your dashboard or app, which generates an immediate, traceable record. If you must use email, send it from the account email address and include the phrase "I request cancellation under the Consumer Protection Act 1999" to signal that you understand your legal rights.
How to escalate if Secomvpn refuses to cancel or continues to charge
If Secomvpn ignores your cancellation request or continues to bill you after you have submitted a valid cancellation notice, you have several enforcement options under Malaysian law.
Step one: demand written explanation from Secomvpn
Send a formal demand letter to Secomvpn's support email and request a written explanation within 7 days as to why your cancellation has not been processed. State that you are acting under the Consumer Protection Act 1999 and that continued billing after a submitted cancellation request may constitute an unfair business practice.
Step two: dispute the charge through your bank
Contact your bank or credit card issuer and initiate a chargeback dispute. Provide them with your cancellation confirmation email, bank statements showing recurring charges after the cancellation date, and reference to the Consumer Protection Act 1999. Your bank is obligated to investigate and typically credits disputed amounts within 30 days while the dispute is pending.
Step three: lodge a complaint with KPDNKK
The Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDNKK) is the primary consumer protection authority in Malaysia. You may file a formal complaint at their online portal or visit a local office. Submit:
- Copies of all cancellation requests and confirmation emails
- Bank statements showing the recurring charge dates
- The total amount you have been charged unlawfully
- A statement that Secomvpn has refused to honour your cancellation request under the CPA 1999
Step four: contact the federation of malaysian consumers associations (FMCA)
The FMCA may mediate disputes between you and Secomvpn. They may also advise you on class-action options if other Malaysian consumers have experienced the same issue.

Summary: your path to cancelling Secomvpn without legal risk
Cancelling Secomvpn is your right under the Consumer Protection Act 1999, and you are protected against unfair cancellation fees or policies that violate the fairness test in Malaysian consumer law. The process is straightforward if you follow the correct platform and obtain written confirmation.
The most common cause of failed cancellations is submitting the request to the wrong channel (for example, emailing support when the subscription is managed by Apple or Google) or failing to monitor the bank statement after cancellation. With the step-by-step method outlined above-identifying your billing source, submitting a formal cancellation request, obtaining written confirmation, and monitoring your account for two billing cycles-you eliminate these risks entirely.
If Secomvpn refuses to honour your cancellation or continues to charge you, escalate to your bank for a chargeback dispute and lodge a formal complaint with the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDNKK). Yafee has helped thousands of consumers cancel recurring subscriptions and recover unlawful charges by combining clear documentation with knowledge of Malaysian consumer law.
