Recharge.cityReviews of recharge.city

I've recently researched this company on TrustPilot after the damage was done, and I'm left deeply disappointed. I lost $19,500 paying them for charging stations and a location service in Manhattan, New York. Unfortunately, the stations did not generate any return. Despite claiming to have a U.S. presence, it turns out they don't have an actual office here. Their payment systems are registered through a dubious Russian front man in New York. They seemingly buy very cheap charging stations from China online and then make people to spend thousands of dollars on buying their franchise. However, the reality is that nobody in the U.S. seems to use these chargers. What’s more puzzling are the positive comments on Trust.Pilot, most of which appear to have Russian surnames - this says a lot. I strongly recommend that people exercise caution if they receive calls from individuals with foreign accents trying to persuade them to invest in the charging station franchise with Recharge.city. I'm planning to apply for a chargeback to recover my funds. Additionally, never sign any documents or send your ID to them—they request this information to prevent chargebacks.

They seemed professional and reliable until they got my money. They disappeared after I paid them for the stations and location services, and when I contacted them two weeks later, they asked for more money to place the stations in "hot locations." It has been more than a year now, and I haven’t seen a single penny, contrary to their promise of a steady income. Absolutely stay away.

I fell for the scam thinking it was Recharge.com. They exploit the similar name to deceive people. They called me, promising passive income, but provided fake details. When I asked to visit their New York office, they made excuses. Their listed address, 150 Broadway, lacks specific details like room or office number, proving they have no real office. I paid $18,000 for stations and location services but received nothing. They disappeared & then demanded more money to start generating income. Beware and think twice before giving them your hard-earned money or personal documents like ID etc.

Don't spend your money as I did on this worthless investment. They said money will flow after the first month as it takes time. I waited 3 months and I'm sitting with this machine making nothing. The customers denied to use this charger even when I've provided free vouchers as they says this little thing might risk their phone data, And you expect someone will pay to use it. Disappointed and I'm working with my bank to get my money back.

Horrible experience I invested $2300 USD, Adam was calling me and giving me a breakdown on how i would make money. I finally decided to make this investment in hopes to make money while on maternity leave. In reality they preyed on a woman who just had a baby, knowing they had no good intentions. They gave me a location that I paid $500 for them to find for me and I never got a customer. I was told to give it 2 months, I reached back out in when 2 months were up and Adam no longer worked in that department. I was told it if I would spend an additional 1k they would get me a better location! And not to call back until i had the 1k. Bottom line this was the worst investment i could have ever made! I wish i could get my money back

I had a terrible experience with Recharge.city. They repeatedly called me, convincing me to invest $12,500 in their franchise for mobile phone charging stations, promising a quick ROI and passive income. It’s been a year and seven months, and I haven’t seen any income, let alone the promised ROI. When I contacted them, they made excuses about the location not being good enough and convinced me to pay an additional $3,000 for better locations. After they got the money, they made me sign an agreement and provide documents like my ID and a receipt with my signature. I later realized this was to prevent a chargeback. When I tried to get my money back, they used these documents against me, and I lost the chargeback. I’m shocked to see positive reviews from their COO Sergey Bolyubash here. It’s clear to me that these positive comments are fake. I strongly advise against doing business with these scammers

Firstly, it's not at all like they claimed on calls or ad. No one like to pay to charge there phones here even with the voucher I offered. Secondly, I don't see any potential on this machine enough to make any dime at all right now. Disappointed

I invested in Recharge.City's franchisee program for New York City on June 12, 2024, with high hopes based on their promises of a fast ROI and their supposed strong user base. They assured me that the stations would start generating money within the first week of placement. I’m based on the West Coast, so I trusted their claims about station placement and performance. It's now been months, and I have seen absolutely no returns. I can't even verify if the stations are placed as promised. The lack of transparency and follow-through is alarming. Their customer support has been unresponsive and unhelpful. To my surprise, I see numerous positive reviews, which seem highly suspicious and likely fake. This company appears to be a complete scam, and I strongly advise others to avoid investing their hard-earned money with them. It’s been a frustrating and costly experience, and I hope this review helps others from falling into the same trap.
