This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I claimed a deal for the no cost airpods & to just pay shipping and handling and was charged a $6.95 fee and a $29.95 fee for something else I did not even order and have yet to receive anything. I would like my money refunded back to my card. I was given two order numbers [protected] and [protected] happened on 11/27

I now know this is scam website and have read reviews from others that have been scammed the same way I have so I want my money back.

Desired outcome: I want my money back into my card. this is a scam and im not allowing it to just take my money and get away with it

Definitely a scam. Same things happened to me. Charged without consent. This is the number I contacted to dispute the charges, and was given a 100% refund. Sad. But hope this helps.

Same thing happened to me

I had a Statefarm claim and they were wonderful. I asked how I can write a review. They said they send out a survey

So I received a surgery from Statefarm

I filled it out and was offered a free gift just pay for shipping

So I paid the $7.95 next day I was charged $79.95

They send bogus responses with a phone number that records all hours of the day and week, the office is closed

Now I have to go fight with my bank

Hope these scammers burn in hell 🔥

I unfortunately did not read the reviews and got royally screwed. This is a scam subscription screw you place. They steal your money with fake advertising, my commercial was with a well known chef Gordon Ramsey saying they had a bunch if sets of pans for free just pay shipping. No where did it say I'm a bad company and just gonna steal yoyr money with a fake subscription for something that doesn't exist.

It is actually a shame that people have stooped to this level to steal from you. What has become of our America. Don't order anything from consumer gadgets.

Gordon Ramsay was advertising on Facebook pans, hexclad, for shipping only. I used my card and bought. Yesterday I get another charge for $79.95 from same merchant NEVER authorized. I did not catch in time so paid. I trusted because gordon Ramsey was spokesman. The charges were made on 5/13/23 and 5/16/23. First charge was 5.95.

Same thing happened to me. I trusted it cause it was advertised by Gordon Ramsey a big name chef and boy was I wrong to trust it without doing research first. I never authorize a $79.95 charge. So I reported the fraudulent charge to my bank. I am hoping that I will get my money back.

Exact same thing happened to me. I posted Fraud on my cc and they are actually sending me a new card so they cant charge anything any longer. I wonder if Gordon is really knowledgeable about what they do.

Joyce, used credit card authorized $5.95. My credit card comp notified me and the pmt was refused. The charge was for $79.95! I may have born at night but it wasn't last night. My card comp notifies me when there are questions. Karma will get them.

Same thing happened to me. I called the number on my bank statement. They tried to tell me I had ordered that, and I didn't.

Had to threaten to get my bank and lawyer to handle. Yes, I know $29.95 is nowhere near what it would cost to get my lawyer involved.

They finally said that they would refund my money in 3-5 days. I have a cancellation number.

When I ask about the $6.95, they said it wasn't refundable. My bank will be advised this is an unauthorized debit and will advise them what they said.

I believe that the fee was quoted as $1.00.

I also stated to the cs that I hated Apple products and would never but one.

I can give you a number that i called.[protected] or [protected]. They ended you keeping me on hold then giving me the "the next available operator will call". then hung up. I was called back, which shocked me.

it was noted on my bank account that the company was IntensePerfe. That was not the case.

Beware they are scamming under the name of Consumer Gadget club. not at all what they are advertising. and are using Lowes name as a front . if you call about it (and good luck finding a phone #) its a third party call center.
