Unexpected €39.99 charge after a €1…
THEY RETURN Full €39.99 Refund Unexpected €39.99 charge after a €1 purchase – Full refund requested SCAM? I paid €1 for a one-time cognitive test result. I did not knowingly agree to any recurring subscription or authorise an additional €39.99 charge. To my surprise, €39.99 was subsequently taken from my account for a subscription I never intended to purchase and have not used. I find this billing practice extremely concerning and misleading. I have already contacted BrainsMate to request an immediate cancellation and a full refund. I have also contacted my bank to dispute the charge. I have seen other customers reporting similar experiences and receiving full refunds. I will update this review publicly once the company responds and resolves the issue. I hope BrainsMate takes this complaint seriously and acts promptly.
