Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Many customers reported unexpected payments being attempted or successfully debited from their accounts, often for the same amount, without any prior subscription or knowledge of the company. People frequently expressed confusion about how their card details were obtained and were concerned about the legitimacy of these transactions, often questioning their validity. The website itself was often inaccessible or difficult to use, and many found it impossible to unsubscribe or cancel alleged subscriptions through official channels. However, some customers also mentioned that when they managed to contact the company, they were able to get their subscriptions cancelled and, in some cases, received refunds relatively quickly.

Helpinone scammer

Helpinone is a very sophisticated scam.
I still have no idea how they got me to agree to their subscription. The bank informed me that I probably was scammed through a verification for something but as the payment showed up 10 days after they registered me, I had no idea exactly which internet page I had clicked on. I don’t use streaming platforms other than Netflix. Anyway, BEWARE, raise a dispute on the transaction and you may get your £40.56 back.

This is a scam

This is a scam. Noticed £40.56 was pending from my bank account. I’d never heard of this company. I called the number left on TP from another reviewer. The phone was answered quickly, they said I had subscribed, I explained that was not the case and they immediately said they’d cancel the subscription and pending transaction. This was done in literally 2 minutes. Clearly they are aware of what they are doing but hoping many don’t pick up on it - scary.

Scam company - beware!

I had never heard of this company yet they somehow managed to take £40.56 from my account twice. They are clearly committing fraud as can be seen from the similar experiences of numerous people. My concern is also with my bank who allowed these transactions to take place whereas other banks seem to be aware that this company is scamming people. Do banks not speak to one another and share information about scam companies?

£40.56 stolen from my bank account too

Exactly the same happened to me at 1.41am this morning , £40.56 was taken from my account: I have never heard of them let alone signed up. My bank claim it was an Apple Pay transaction but the at makes no sense as I did not make the payment. My card has been cancelled and after reading on here that some people even had their new card charged, I wil not get a new one used until this is resolved

£40.56 taken from account

£40.56 taken from my account. Never heard of them, definitely haven't signed up for any membership. Once balance is cleared card account will be cancelled. I'm living of my savings and penions so every penny counts.

Cancelled credit account with my bank and opened a new credit with the same bank. The scammers somehow got my new card number and took the £40.56 !!!

Scam

Scam! Helpinone.com tried taking £40.56 twice, but my bank stopped them, I had to cancel my bank card. After a few days I got new bank card and guess what.. yes helpinone somehow had my new bank details and tried again today, the 22nd August same amount of £40.56! I have absolutely no idea how they’ve got the new details. So now I have to go all the way through the weekend and bank holiday Monday without able to use my bank card! This company weds stopping asap! Alls Ive ever done is buy from eBay with Apple Pay. I draw money out and pay with cash elsewhere.

Scam alert

Scam alert, they have somehow managed to charge £40.56 via apple pay on two consecutive months. Apparently as its a subscription we can not claim the money back and have had to cancel the card to stop another payment being taken

scam site

They sent me an item that was completely different from the description. They were supposed to be Speedo swimming goggles. I received a poor-quality Chinese imitation.
They're scammers.

My experience is this scamming system…

My experience is this scamming system tried but didn't succeed to take £40.56 twice lol, I didn't have the funds to make the payment and that's the only reason they never succeed... I downloaded a spy cam app online and they asked me to verify my credit card details which then they would withdraw 0pence to prove my identification....anyway please be aware of these horrible disgusting nasty peices of shit who want to take you to the cleaners...

SCAM Whilst on holiday abroad this company…

Whilst on holiday abroad this company took £30.42 from my bank. Halifax wouldn't help me! Emails to this scam company said I'd subscribed but I know I hadn't and wouldn't but would not be receiving a refund and they closed my 'account' THEN I finally spoke to someone there, they asked for my email and said refund was on way back!!!
