A complete scam!!
Their ads on social media instantly subscribe on their service when you click a link
If you accidently click the link(which is huge) they automatically link your phone number and subscribe it to their service.
No two step verification or alert whatsoever!!
I apperently put my phone in my pocket and forgot to lock it(which can happen to anybody). The ad was opened and then the link was clicked by accident. Next thing you know a bill for a monthly NBA pass of €24,99 was sent to my provider
This are mob practices and they should be sued for fraud!

Scam! Not paying!
There was no 2 step verification for this. Like I accidentally would do a 2 step verification for something I don't even know about. Now you expect to call your helpdesk? I have no knowledge about anything. No notification, no mail, no customer number. You expect me to call and give scammers my personal info? I'm solving this via Testaankoop. And I'm switching my number.
Scam! No consent from my side. No knowledge about the company. Yet I was charged 50€ via my Orange invoice? They managed to charge me twice in 1 month? I am not paying for something I didn't consent to and don't even want. Filed a complained with Testaankoop and Orange.

Hi Sabrina,
Thank you for your review.
Sorry to hear that you are unhappy with the subscription you have had via your Orange bill. As you will see in some of the other responses we work closely with mobile carriers to bring their customers digital content across the world, including Orange.
As I'm sure Orange will also confirm with you, we work hard to protect customers with a two-step subscription process, along with working with an fraud detection company to eliminate any possibilities of fraud.
If you haven't already, please reach out to our friendly customer service team and we would be happy to assist you further.

CROOKS! SCAMMERS!
CROOKS!
They’ve added 150€ to my telephone bill, for false services (that I wasn’t even aware of being subscribed to!). When you protest, they seem to be willing to help out, but they just keep on lying about refunding! They want you to think it’s your own provider that is not willing to refund.
Read all the negative reviews…nobody asked PMconnect for a service! Nobody knew they had something to do with them, untill it was too late and they already had lost money!
And then PMconnect replies to the negative reviews as if they were a proper firm, seemingly concerned about “their clients”.
There are no clients here, only VICTIMS!
They just want to look good so providers wouldn’t cut them out! In Belgium PROXIMUS already stopped collaboration. I hope others to do the same…

SCAM
I've received my phone bill today and noticed I had €33 extra besides my normal subscription. Apparently, PM Connect has been charging 6,49 every friday for the past five weeks. I most certainly did not subscribe to any of their services, I did not had to do a two way- subscription and I did not receive texts or mails where I've been notified I was still subscribed or anything. So yeah, scam fo sho!

Scammed like everyone else
The same story as everyone else. I apparently signed up for LiveFootball.tv via PM Connect, something that I would never ever do. To claim that I did it inadvertently is nonsense as I am a pretty savvy user. I lost €15 before discovering this scam. My experience is in Belgium, via a Belgian telecommunications company Proximus. PM Connect's dishonest ways know no boundaries.

PM Connect is continuing to exploit the…
PM Connect is continuing to exploit the gap in regulations and take money from 'subscribers' who have no knowledge of what services they have signed up to. Regardless of the entreaties from PM Connect below, the facts remain.
My wife has had an identical experience to some of those below, unwittingly subscribing to a service she's never used. We have no idea how this happened but it went unnoticed for a very long time given the billing was handled on a corporate account and never challenged until now. There is no evidence that she used the service beyond the initial click or received any of the so-called SMS verifications.
There are changes afoot to address this but this does not revalidate 'legacy victims'.
On a positive note they seem to be compensating customers who can demonstrate just cause.
My wife's case is currently unresolved. We are considering escalation.

I cannot afford to eat because of this scam
I have been charged 60 pounds for the last 4 months on my three bill from this company. I am a pensioner who cannot text and only uses mobile phone for video calls. I had no idea I was being charged for this service and there is no way I could have consented to this via text as I cannot send text messages. My niece helped me to contact three and they washed their hands off this saying they could not stop these charges even though I had a spending cap on my account. I was told to email them which I did but I am scared that if they do not refund me or stop these charges, I will not have money to eat as the extra money they are taking is supposed to go to my grocery bill!

**ABSOLUTE SCAM** don’t settle for anything less than a full refund
Scam of a company. I have been charged £3 a week since November 2018. Apparently I’d signed up through a ‘subscribe now’ and ‘confirm’ link in an advert. I hadn’t! I rang to complain and they completely fobbed me off, telling me I wasn’t able to get a refund as I had gone through a 4 step process. It’s not a 4 step process at all. I emailed my complaint asking for a full refund- I was offered £12!!! I found an forum on ‘money saving expert’ that is home to hundreds of people in my situation. I was advised to send 2 letters and then start a small claims court proceeding. I sent the 1st letter on Wednesday morning and received a full refund of £363.00 this morning (Friday). This company is an absolute disgrace! Imagine all the people who are being charged without knowing, not having the knowledge to claim a full refund!! Service providers take a percentage of this money and O2 told me they couldn’t help. Don’t settle for anything less than a full refund. ABSOLUTE SCAM+have been reported.

Scam. My wife is on a pay as you go bundle but some how before even really starting to use her phone and without subscribing to anything, she started being charged for footbox.tv, 4 pounds a week since September 2019! I discovered that by chance recently when I noticed that she was running out of credit faster than usual. Over 200 pounds paid since September 2019 without knowing and without even using the service. I just cancelled it, but won’t stop there

Fraud Company!!!
Stealing money of innocent people. apparently I signed up to Footbox Tv (never heard of them before) and when I went to upgrade my Vodafone phone they told me I had this on my account they have taken £280 of my money out of my account with no agreement. I will be taking them to the small claims court as this is outrageous behaviour taking peoples money when you don’t have the right or there persimmon to do so. I will be taking this further to get my money back. I cannot believe how many bad reviews I have found in this and this needs to be stopped and people working for this company needs to be put away.
