Content Contengate Reviews 37

This company has taken three payments over three months without my permission. I do not know who they are or how they acquired my bank details. I do not always use the account so did not notice straight away. This amounts to £97. Needless to say this is a disgusting scam and I will be chasing this. Be very aware that this company is effectively stealing money from unsuspecting people.

Did not subscribe.
Money taken without authorization.

This company took £39.99 from my bank without my permission. I have asked for a refund but heard nothing.
The company operates by linking itself to a free app I was downloading.

I wrote a very scathing review of this company after they took money from my account without authorisation. Feeling I had nothing to lose, but not hopeful that I would get a refund, I wrote to their customer service department. They answered very promptly to say they were investigating. I thought I would hear no more but the next day I got an email saying they would refund the money. I still wasn't hopeful as they said it could take up to 15 days depending on the bank but two days later my £39.99 appeared back in my account. It shouldn't have left in the first place but fair play, they dealt with my complaint very swiftly and professionally and did the right thing.

I was subscribing to a sports channel. This company had placed a link over the top of the original website. The link appears to be part of the actual website. I thought I was setting up payment to the sports channel but it looks like I have been duped into setting up payment to this company. Have had to cancel my credit card.

As with others, this sneaky company lured me into a subscription, (always read the small print) got 2 months of 39.99 out before I noticed it, block on future payments, bank chasing refund, not illegal just morally wrong, beware!!

Not too sure how they got my details, I have no interest in gaming. Checked my bank account to find a payment had been processed for £39.99 in may and one pending for this month. Contacted bank immediately who blocked the pending payment and blocked my card. Have e mailed the roque company but not expecting any reply. My bank are looking into this.

This got me when signing up to discovery + with a qr code.Bank say as it's MasterCard I can claim a refund but have to wait 15 days!.I tried to log into to company ha ha wouldn't let me.Total scam.Had to cancel the credit card.So annoyed

Just like everyone else,I got a mini security camera and this was on the set up and I thought this was part of the set up ,and asked me to verify by paying £0.01, which I did just this morning they have taken £40 off my credit card now have to phone up my credit card company ,this is so annoying and something should be done about this type of scam,and it's not the first time I've been caught by a subscription scam

Scam. Used a qr code to subscribe to Discovery plus. qr code took me to this scam site instead. Gave credit card details thinking I was subscribing to Discovery plus but it was for something I hadnt even herd of. Stopped them taking £40 / month out of my account. Has to cancel my card🙁🙁

This site is FRAUD. Their ad popped up on another transaction I was doing, and the following month £59.99 was taken from my account. Again this month, another £59.99 just came off my card. I thought this was part of the setup I was doing, and I clicked on it by mistake. I had to cancel my card. I have been trying to get in touch with them, but I have not heard from them.

This is a fraud. Their ad popped up on another transaction I was doing and thought this was part of it so I clicked on it by mistake. I've now cancelled my card and am looking into trying to report this.

I received a message to log in my account from my university and I scan a code who log me to this site. I was asked to accept a payment of 0.001 but bank told me that can be a fraud.
And from what I read it is a fraud. Take care what you scan Nd what you pay.

Whilst trying to download a parking app so we could park at Hampton Court U.K. I unwittingly gave my credit card details to this outfit and paid £0.01 on May 7th.

contengate have now tried to collect a further £39.99.

I had a call from Barclaycard this morning and the payment has been intercepted and declined by them.

The worry is my card details could now be sold on.
