SCAM

Just like many others i fell for the 1$ payment and invisible subscription trap. I have e-mailed them about immediately cancelling and they have yet to reply.

Do not fall for this scam, do not engage with this scamming company whatsoever.

Edit: Thankfully it seems like it was possible to cancel before the 7 day period by e-mailing them, but I would have never found out about me even subscribing if not for the other comments here. The true IQ test was not falling for their trap and I failed that miserably.

Dear Anton,

Thank you for sharing your feedback and updating your review. We are glad to hear that your cancellation request was received and processed prior to the end of your trial period. However, we sincerely apologize for any confusion regarding subscription terms and for the frustration this experience caused.

We aim to make all pricing, trial periods, and auto-renewal terms fully transparent. It is never our intention for any user to feel misled or caught off-guard by recurring billing.

Because we do not process payments or manage personal account data on public review platforms, please reach out directly to our dedicated billing team at support@brainsmate.com with your registered email address if you need written confirmation of your account status or further assistance.

Once you email support@brainsmate.com, our billing specialists will gladly verify that your subscription is permanently deactivated and address any remaining questions.

Best regards,

Horrible bait and switch subscription

Horrible bait and switch subscription. Beware, when I was charged the full amount I reached out as I haven’t used it for anything but the iq test at the time of trial. Customer service denied a refund request here, of course they did.

Deceptive sign up

Paid $1.99 about a week ago and have just noticed an unauthorised charge of US$39.99 on my cc. It’s really tiresome to have to deal with deceptive, predatory organisations like brainsmate. Come on guys, have some respect for yourselves, you can do better things with your lives than this. Anyway. Please give me my money back and cancel whatever bogus subscription i was deceptively signed up to.

This is a scam

This is a scam. It tells you that you can pay $1.99 to see your test results but actually attaches you to a monthly subscription of $39. It must be in some small print somewhere but it isn’t made clear on the link when you take the quiz. Would highly recommend not using this for anything if you would like to keep your money!
