Signed up to €1 payment and Brainstove have continuously tried to take €38 from my account. I have blocked the payments. I didn’t agree to any subscription. This is a total scam.

Thieves

You've somehow taken £38.95 out of my account. I don't know who you are or what you do but it is an unauthorised transaction. Action is now in progress. I want my £38.95 returned! There is no reference on my Bank Account to say what this is for. I have sent an email too.
My Bank has refunded the fraudulent transaction amount by this company.

Scam want my money back

8/7/2023

I am writing to address the unauthorized subscription charge of £38.95 made by Brainstove.com on my account on 22nd June. I downloaded what I believed to be a free game from your website, but I have not agreed to or authorized any subscription.

This charge violates consumer protection laws, including misrepresentation, unfair business practices, and breach of contract. The lack of proper disclosure and consent renders the subscription null and void. I have not received any communication or notification about this charge or the associated subscription.

I demand the immediate termination of my subscription with Brainstove.com and a full refund of the charged amount. The refund should be issued within 10 business days to the original payment method used.

Failure to comply with this request may result in legal action, including filing a complaint with consumer protection agencies.

I expect a prompt response within 7 business days. If I do not receive a satisfactory resolution, I will escalate this matter further.

Thank you for your attention to this issue.

Return my money ! on a false promotion, a subscription to your site was made! but when it is used, that fraudulently began to withdraw money from my account! I canceled your service the same day! But today the money was withdrawn from my account again! This is a fraud ! please return the money!

This is a terrible experience

This is a terrible experience. I paid post and packaging for a product and Brianstove dishonestly signed me on for a gaming service and charged me 3 times at £38.95 each time. I have never been on their site, and never wanted this service. After I was charged all this money, I "cancelled" the subscription I allegedly signed up for and have not been refunded money... money I did not agree to hand over in the first place. DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY.

Thieving Scammers

This company are nothing short of thieves. I cancelled my subscription within the 3 day trial period.
However on the 3rd day the took the unauthorised amount of £38.95 from my account.
When I queried this they denied that I had cancelled in time and refused to refund the amount stolen from my account. I spoke to bank and instructed them not to pay any further monies to Brainstove.com
Please Please Please don’t have any dealings with this bunch of thieves.

Hello,
We are sorry to hear that you did not like our service.
We have checked your account and can see that you did not cancel the subscription within 3-day period. The subscription got renewed and only after several days you contacted as to cancel the subscription.
It is not possible to charge you (renew your subscription) in case the subscription is canceled as the process is automatic.
In case of mistake from our side - we always ready to fix it. However, there was no mistake in the system. The subscription was canceled several days after the 3-days trial ended.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY

I stupidly signed up for an offer thinking it was linked to B and Q. It was actually Brainstove fraudulently taking money from my account.
I don't expect to see the payment again. 3 days after reporting the issue to my bank and cancelling my card Brainstove attempted to take a further £38.95.
DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY

Do not do business with this company…

Do not do business with this company and regret it. You will not get your money back. 1 month subscription costs Euro 38,95 and I still do not know exactly, what it is they’re selling.
I blocked my credit card and just as well. Even after I cancelled my subscription and blocked my credit card, they are trying to keep it open.

Fraud - Fraud - Fraud

Please stay away from this company. An offer that involves you unknowingly creating a subscription for a service you never requested. Trying to unsubscribe on their website is convoluted. Thankfully my bank spotted the transaction, treated it as suspicious and blocked it. However my credit card is still restricted. Fraud, fraud, fraud. Brainstove have asked for more information. The lure was an iPhone and I was asked to pay postage so I gave my credit card details - they were to process €1. Then I was asked a second time for the same details. I was put on alert so tried with my bank to stop the transaction. My account now has a charge for €38.95 subscription that I DID NOT consciously authorise. I do not know if I can get the money back but I did not ask for nor would I have agreed to any subscription. So be careful with this company.
Brainstove have suggested to Trustpilot that it was another website and not theirs. They have refunded the payment. I was not on their website on the 28/04/2023 when I "subscribed" That day the only website I was on was getluckyprize.com - I gave them my credit card details 16:10 and at 16:56 I was informed by Brainstove that I had subscribed (email went to Spam, I did not see it). Is it a coincidence that the two transactions are so close? If I may reiterate - I have never, ever gone onto Brainstove website. Their latest response is a typical hit the man not the issue. I am now taking this to the trading standards and data commissioner in Cyprus. As a part of the EU they have to have to meet EU consumer standards.

Hello Sean,
We do not have integration with getluckyprize.com
It is clear that you entered your details on many sites trying to win a prize. We are not aware where and how many times you provided these details. Please note that we cannot force you to subscribe. The pause between transaction is not that close to assume that brainstove is connected to another site.
Since you claim that you did not attend to subscribe to our service we have decided to give you refund as exception. And hope that will improve your experience with our service.

They are reliable

They mistakenly charged me 2 1€ payments and when I emailed them about cancelling the subscription, they returned my 2€ back so they are cool :)

Hello Damien,
We are sorry to hear about your experience.
1 euro is a pre-authorisation that is not charged. And further charges is a subscription fee.
There is no scam in this. However, if you believe something went wrong please provide us with your email address so we can check.

This company is a scam business.

This company is a scam business.. do not give them your card details. I used a single use card so they could not scam me, but they are scammers and are not legit at all.. Steer clear of this dodgy company
