Complete SCAM
Complete SCAM. Their Website is made to look like a Government of UK Site to purchase your Visa. Then they charge an enormous Fee. $300+ USD The actual charge from the Govt of the UK is only $18.00. Then when you try to contact them they block your IP Address so it constantly shows their Website is under Maintenance.
Warning
Warning, a big scam: they do not accept debit cards, only credit cards. They charge you large amounts and then do not return them because refunds cannot be made to the same card. In general, they appear to want to cooperate — LIES."

Applied for ETA
Applied for ETA, believing this was the official website. Paid 196.39 Euros for something that only costs a few Euros. The amount never showed while applying, which should have made me weary.
Have tried to get my money back, but so far, no reply. Will have to file a complaint with my bank. Re-applied through the official channel: uk.gov. Couldn't' check whether I had a real application with the scammers of Upmax-Global.com.
Online scammers
Horrible scammers! Charged my parents £186 each for an ETA document which cost £16. I will report them to FCA and reported them to my credit company!!!
Bunch of thieves
Bunch of thieves! Applied by accident for an ETA for the UK in their site. They took € 205!! From my creditcard. That’s about £ 167 instead of £ 16 if you apply through the only genuine site GOV.UK. I could swear I was on the last site when I applied. Don’t know what went wrong. All dodgy as hell. Do not apply for anything there. You pay 8 times more and they don’t provide you with the right documents. A big scam!

During the flight from Osaka to Seoul Boarding hostess open the link for K-ETA from upmax and I applied from Upmax by accident. Paid 40 times more for application. I wrote twice to Upmax-Global for refund but they even did not reply. Be careful!!!
SCAM!!!!
I thought I was visiting the official website for ETA application... Which turned out to be not. €195 for probably nothing? I hope my bank can solve something in this.
Gets me so angry, go earn your money in a different way in stead of scamming hard working people 😡
They took the wrong amount of my card
They took the wrong amount of my card, £167,42, for a visa don’t need, instead of £16. First my payment wasn’t accepted and then 2 days later they took the money! A bunch of crooks !
Got scammed by Upmax Global
Got scammed by Upmax Global. Tried to get two ETA visa's to travel to the UK through uk.gov page suddenly the charged me €209,74 per person when I checked the bank transfer. For one person I had to make a new upload because the first didn't work. So for one person they charged me twice!
CHEATERS!!!
They charge $ 218 for a UK ETA, which is turning out to be fake. the Eta is not validated by UK Visa dept
The normal cost is £16

How can you still trust trustpilot if…
How can you still trust trustpilot if you see all these 5 stars comments. Non of them are real. There is not even one comment that talk about the price, which is extremely high.
If you go to the official ETA site, you pay about 12 pounds, its a big difference of the 223 euro that I paid and you don’t even get an official approval.
Everything goes really fast and before you know you are paying an amount that’s
almost invisible. Its really sad to rip off people in this way. Hopefully this review will help
Warning!!!
Warning!!!! How is it possible to charge 170 € when the official rate is 15 €?
Scam! Shame on you!
No transparency on the pricing
No transparency on the pricing, no indication, no email order/confirmation, no references between the ETA approval and the payment. They charged €170 while standard this is around €15. A scam, no more.
Be carefull
Be carefull, SCAM, SCAM . You order the ETA and the don’t provide it
Don't believe in the positive reviews…
Don't believe in the positive reviews on Truspilot! I suppose, they can only be bought ones!
Why should anyone knowingly and gladly buy a UK ETA for more than 220 Euros, if the same service costs just 12 Euros at the official UK government website or app?
The best thing is that we paid more than 2 x 220 Euros for absolutely nothing. We didn't even get an ETA as we weren't registered for UK, which we found out by ordering two ETAs there for 12 Euro each afterwards. If we would have already been registered (as UPMAX told us), the official registry process would have noticed that we are already registered, which we were not. Hence this this "ETA service" is just scam and fraud!
By the way, meanwhile my AVG Internet Security doesn't even let me enter the UPMAX website again. Instead, a warning pops up that their website is most likely a fraudulent eShop.
