TOTAL SCAM!!!! Beware
I had $46.49 AUD taken from my account without authorisation. I am already a paying customer and had purchased their book, which was not cheap. You would expect a basic level of respect and transparency, instead, I was charged for an app subscription I never agreed to. Despite multiple attempts to resolve this, they have refused to refund the unauthorised charge. Customer service has been dismissive, unhelpful, and frankly rude. This seems to be a pattern. Others have reported cancelling subscriptions only to be charged anyway, being told “no” when requesting refunds, and receiving no response when asking for personal and payment details to be deleted. When concerns are raised publicly, they suddenly reply asking you to email them, only to then respond with generic statements like “your feedback has been taken into consideration”, with no actual resolution. It feels like gaslighting designed to make them look responsive while doing nothing. Save it! I’ve now had to escalate this externally due to their refusal to take responsibility or stop unauthorised charges. Please be extremely careful dealing with this company. Based on my experience and others, this feels deceptive at best and a SCAM at worst. I fully expect a polished reply below about how they’re “working on improving”, like I said, save it! Actions matter, not empty words. Karma has a way of balancing things out.
