Charged me 6 times $39

Charged me 6 times $39. 3 years after doing the test. Once in September, Twice on the first day of october, twice first day of November and again today. Stay far away from this company. They're responding to my emails suggesting I've not been charged.

Avoid

Avoid. The site is a scam. My child used credit card details which were logged on Google Chrome to pay for an IQ test. Soon after, I discover that she had unknowingly "subscribed" to a costly annual subscription service. I had no way of cancelling and the site did not reply to emails. Following a "disputed transaction" with our card prover funds were recovered.

Total disappointment. They act legit but all they want is your payment info. Feels like a subscription scam.

Scammed out of £39.99

Scammed out of £39.99. They tell you they're only charging you £0.49 then they rip you off. The test doesn't even constitute any offical indication of your IQ, which can only be ascertained by a psychiatrist.

Stay far away! These fraudsters try to make you pay for the test and automatically signs you up for a 40 pounds per month subscription which they bill from you card.
