This scam is through the ring go…

This scam is through the ring go parking app which I tried to use last week and now they have taken 29.99 from my bank. I have reported this to my bank First Direct and they said they can't do anything as Original plus have everything covered in the small print and you inadvertently sign up to something for a monthly subscription of £29.99. This is scandalous and I am sure if the banks know all about it as my bank did then they should contact you.

Same as everyone else . A scam .

Can only describe this company as a scam . Trying to apply for a Tesco club card.
I gave no card details. Where did they get them????
2 hours later they had taken 50 pence from my account . Rang card management who said to watch to see if they took any more which so far they haven’t . Thanks to Trust Pilot I found their contact number . I emailed them and they say they have have cancelled my subscription. . We’ll see .

0/5 stars Just been scammed

0/5 stars Just been scammed. Informed by Halifax bank fraud dept that they are getting loads coming in with this company in the last 2days. We asked how are they getting our bank details when we have not supplied them or heard of them, answer, 'Google' Any products bought via Google. The details are from your card and not the bank, so, its the three numbers on the back. Lucky for us we have a bank app that tells us when a payment/debit has come through. Bank cancelled and refunded and a new card in the post. Maybe this information should go on social media for people to be aware.

This company are scammers

This company are scammers. Somehow they have attached a pop up to apps so that when you try to download the app it tricks you into putting you details in as you think it’s for the app.
Beware, I was charged £29.99 a week later having no correspondence from them until this point.
Disgusting company!

**Thanks for the reply - I did try to contact you twice but you have ignored me. Is that because your support team don’t exist I wonder?

sneaky bas***ds!!

sneaky bas***ds!!! NO STARS but had to put one to with this.

I was trying to download an app and I must of clicked an advert, and thought I was dealing with the app wanting a .50p verification, and then refund me. Nothing about a subscription or anything..

Today had some notification saying they are taking £29.99 I called my bank FRAUD department, and they have cancelled the pending payment , blocked my card, and sending a new one. Seriously sneaky business....

I never knew what happened... I literally thought the app just didn't download... so tried again. Little did I know I had been scammed on my first attempt. I wonder how these ads can float around where you are meant to press for the real app, trick people into subscriptions that you literally are not aware of AT ALL.

Original Plus is Blue Forge Media Ltd

Original Plus is Blue Forge Media Ltd, company number 7856810 and has 1 Director, Vazquez Liston, Marie Jesus who is Spanish. It legitimately uses the "small print" to charge £29-99 per month after a 7 day free trial. It traps you into believing your phone can be used as a valid credit/debit card. My bank warned me before I could be scammed and has blocked Original Plus. BEWARE!!

Same thing has happened to me

Same thing has happened to me. Tried to download a parking app last week and just received an email from original plus saying they have taken £29.99 from my account and it’s set up to be paid every month. Spoke to HSBC who said as it’s still pending l have to wait until it’s been taken out of the account and call them back and they will block them from taking any further payments. Don’t know if I will get the original payment back.

NO STARS..... SCAM!!

I have only put 1 star, as your cant write a review, without rating.....it a big fat 0 stars, for these scammers. As with all the reviewers, below, we had £29.99 taken, illegally from our account yesterday. We did not sign up to any subcription and did not give our bank details, away. Yet, these thieving scum have taken our money. Report to your bank.....SCAMMERS!!🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

REPORT TO BANK AS FRAUD IMMEDIATELY

Today I had an email from Original plus saying they had taken £29.99 and it is a subscription, with monthly payments. I immediately reported them on my bank app and they are seizing any further payments, sending a new card 🤦and refunding the £29.99
I have read reviews stating a 'parking app', this was not the case for me. The only thing I had done, but then installed it as it didn't work, was the Amazon remote app.
PLEASE REPORT TO YOUR BANK AS FRAUD. THEY SHOULD REFUND YOU AND SEIZE PAYMENTS.

I am the victim of the same scam

I am the victim of the same scam. £29.99 taken from my account and the card company cannot stop or refund. Tesco messaged that the payment was "pending" but could not stop the payment or refund even though I called immediately I was notified

Original Max Plus Chancers

I too, whilst trying to set up a park/go App inadvertantly gave my card details to these chancers. I have now had my account charged for £29.99 plus 50p. I have now had to cancel my card and arrange for a section 75 to get my money back. Be careful setting up Parking Apps
