When ordering anything from Aurelle and Bloom’s website, you are automatically signed up for their VIP program which costs $29.99 a month. This is stated in very small print in their terms and services. There was no email telling me that I signed up for this. I found out the next month when I was charged for this membership. To cancel this membership, you have to either fill out a request form or call them. I filled out a request form and got an email verifying the request was sent. The next month, I was charged again. I called the number. A robot answered and put me on hold but gave me the option to leave a voicemail by pressing 1. I stayed on the line for close to an hour. I left a voicemail requesting a call back. I got a call back a few hours later and the man had me verify some information that I didn’t think was necessary to this call (my address, my email, the last 4 digits of my debit card, etc.) He refunded one month and canceled my membership. i received an email confirming that my membership was canceled. Today, I received another membership charge. I called again. No one answered. I left a voicemail requesting a call back. Less then 5 minutes later, I received a call back. The man told me there was a “glitch” in their system and they “accidentally” charged people who didn’t have memberships anymore. I told him that is insane and to delete all my information from their system. He told me he did. I guess I’ll just have to wait until next month to see if this song and dance continues.

Look up details for Getabrillantgem. Advertised on Facebook. No history of such a place 188823886114. First, it was a disconnected number and Now they try to put you on extreme hold for long periods. Tried to take 89.00 each month after blocking them with my bank because I don't want the service. Be careful how you give your info to.

This company reached out to me multiple times for offering classes for my kids. My kids started to take classes, however, Codeyoung changed their agreement while the classes were in progress. Before we get to this point, their teachers were absent few days in row. I reached out to support and they said it was due to money. That shocked me and I said will stop charging we are going to pause these classes, because who knows, Codeyoung might change their terms for payment again. After few months Codeyoung rep reached out to my by what’s up and expressing interest to resolve the payment issue and move forward with classes. I simply asked that I pay $177 per month for two kids three classes per week each kid. And they agreed. After few classes, they paused the classes again. This time I got upset and called them scammers. My kids have not been able to take classes since then, which was last year. But I see they try to charge my credit in two weeks twice.

They need to be hold responsible and I am sure they scammed other families too. They get their credit card information and keep it on file even if they don’t receive service

Actitech Limited, Karaiskaki 13, 3032, Limassol, Cyprus - This is the location they list as their address. I purchased a subscription to the WalkFit app for 3 months for $25.99, they charged me and it came out of my account. They emailed me to thank me for the purchase and to download the app and login, so I downloaded the app, but when I tried to login it said my email was invalid and I didn’t have an account. It also didn’t appear in my Apple subscriptions list as it was supposed to so I couldn’t cancel from there. When I attempted to make a new login it tried to make me choose a new subscription at a higher price to be able to login! So I wrote to them to rectify the situation and make it so I could login; instead they quickly emailed me back (within 10 minutes) saying “We are sorry to see you go! We have cancelled your subscription, you will not receive any further charges and there is a refund pending on your account, it should arrive in your bank within 5-10 business days.” This just happened tonight so I am yet to find out if I will actually get my money back or not, but I just wanted to be able to actually USE the app I paid to use, and this is how they respond. All of it and how it is hidden even after payment screams scam to me. I only wish I had seen other bad reviews and people calling it a scam before I had purchased it. I only hope my review saves others from the same issues I had.

I attempted to use the service Munchpak which appeared at first to be a completely legitimate website, just to find out that they don't send out their orders placed by customers and that they also don't have an option on their website after signing up for a subscription to their service to actually cancel the subscription flatout. You need to first pause the membership first in order to even see the cancel option, creating a predatory payment platform as it may cause some cancel their credit cards out of frustration. They don't deliver products to their customers anymore, which is completely apparent looking online at their recent reviews over the past few years. They are only on the platform at this point to see if anyone is naive enough to put their credit card information on their website and collect what they may believe to be free money.

This business start charging my credit card without my consent in May 19th 2024. I don't know the business, never contacted them and was never contacted by them. They kept charging my credit card monthly for $3.50.

They do not pick up calls on 657.226.0606 nor answer e-mails on [email protected].

I don't know how my credit card information was obtained by them.

Instagram add that misrepresented digital service, asks for payment information and then goes to “welcome” page without any amount paid / terms / conditions or confirmation shown for payment or what you’re paying for.

Company claims to be in “Estonia” but has an address in India. Paying for service also is automatically agreeing to an auto-subscription to services that are not clearly defined. They refuse to refund you. They also have PayPal on their side because PayPal told me I didn’t escalate my dispute within a proper time frame when I did. Their social media sites have a bunch of other people complaining about being scammed as well.

They also HARASS with probably upwards of 10 emails a day for many different health / spa / digital services. They also text your phone number repeatedly offering services that you can find online for free. They need to be shut down.

I was searching for a service to convert PDF to Word Documents and also editing documents. The website www.smallpdf.com offered the service for a 7- day free trial offer. The day I signed up for it was the same day I canceled the trial offer, because I was not satisfied with the service. I canceled the subscription however, I have been charged every month for the past 3 months for the service. There is no phone number to contact customer support and the email for support is [email protected]. They never respond to the emails. The address Steinstrasse 21, 8003 Zürich, Switzerland, should have been a warning to me about this scam.

In March 2024, I was looking for an old property record. Google search brought me to this site (PropertyRecs.com) which appeared legit. It asked me to pay $1 for the record, I did.

Little did I know that it started charging my credit card $9.95 per month. Since It's less than $10, I did not get an alert. I found out about the charge 5 months later. When ask why I was charged, the "chat bot" said I enrolled in a volume discount package that will charge me $9.95 per month. It's been a while, but I don't recall agreeing to such terms when I only needed one record.

The "chat bot" automatically agreed to close my account, not even trying to "hold me to my agreement" -- which indicated they do this a lot.

I post this and hope others will be alerted.

I emailed them directly and told them I downloaded a FREE app...when I saw the debit to my bank account, I emailed them immediately to dispute the charge. They said I signed up for a subscription which I did NOT...it was a free trial app and I deleted it when I didn't like it. Then I tried to dispute it with Paypal and they denied returning my money. I can't get a refund from either places! THey just took money out of my account without any authorization on my part!

Subscribed for 6 month IPTV service plan and received only 3 months service. Company stated partner issues and was locked out of panel. Requested for refund several times and never got it. Company only provided an option of another service and wanted me to subscribe to it which would be more money.

After attempting to use a mobile parking website, something popped up on my phone saying that the closeout of my parking fee was unsuccessful. I couldn't get out of the screen. I was told to click on continue for a free membership in something. I then received a charge for $49.95 which the credit card company declined. There were also charges for $1 and $1.95. Apparently this "company" is tracking parking activity to target people.

This was a company (Antheia Services Ltd, Larnaca, Cyprus offering free subcritption to a dating site but once signed on it say that the person has subscribed to 2 companies, cupid.com and cupiddates.com, both with bogus profiles, and payment has to be made every month, and both sites start taking money almost immediately. Trying to cancel the subscrition is impossible since customer service confirms on phone and they even confirm by email that subscription is cancelled but they keep taking the maney. These are fraudulent practices and this company must be investigated and other lonely and vulnerable people protected.

This is the most messed up situation - UNBELIEVABLE!!! I was on Tik Tok came across a sight called thedailyboxclub.com. They were advertising all these free things from Amazon for $54.00. I was not aware it was a subscription I changed my mind at the last minute and assumed the charge did not go through as I never received any confirmation whatsoever, no phone number, no address, no subscription, no charges, NOTHING. I checked my CC and saw there were TWO charges of $54.oo each two days in a row. So I call my cc Citibank (I'm putting their name out here as well as they made this more of a nightmare!!) and tell them what's happened and that the company was not not whom they said they were and that there was no contact information for them except for an email i found on the internet [email protected]. I emailed them about 20 times no answer. In the mean time my credit card takes the two charges off and does a so called investigation. 2 days later they have put the charges back on my cc to pay! Never mind that there are two suspicious charges two days in a row of the same amount. The CC company claims they have contacted dailyboxclub.com and that I am responsible for the charges. If the company was as legit as they say they are why didn't they answer my emails? Give some contact information for me to contact them? I argued and argued with Citibank did no good they say dailyboxclub.com is legit and therefore put the charges back on my credit card. I called them every day explaining to them this company was fraudulent!! I then contact the ScamPulse.com they contact me to day and say that they have contacted the dailyboxclub on my behalf and that their explanation is their name is NOT dailyboxclub.com Im mixed up! They are some vape company online. I tell ScamPulse.com this they say not their problem. I call Citibank again to tell them company is a fraud they claim their investigators will let me know yet again!

What do I have to do hire an attorney for $108.00 and a company that is allowed to get away with these scams???

I purchased the Luminess product by phone. I was told that I could cancel at any time. My credit card used solely for that purchase was involved in fraudulent activity so it was closed and I was issued a new card. The first payment had gone through to Luminess. I rcvd an invoice from Luminess for a second monthly subscription so I called and canceled within the 30 day time frame, spoke to an employee.

9 months later, I received an invoice from a collection agency for the 2nd month supply which I never rcvd since I canceled. On top of that, were late and collection charges. I called and tried to explain. The collection team would not let me explain, just said I had to pay 349. I tried calling the company who said there is nothing to do since it is in collections.

I had to pay for something I never received. I feel this may be a scam with their customer service and want to make other buyers aware.

This was terrible. I am out that money to avoid bad credit issues.
