Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 250 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the excellent quality and variety of products, often highlighting delicious food and diverse menu options. The overall user experience is frequently described as amazing, easy to use, and efficient, with many commending the staff for their helpfulness and professional service. However, some people were dissatisfied with payment practices, reporting unexpected £12 charges that followed an initial £1 verification. Reviewers indicated these charges were often not clearly understood or agreed upon, as the £1 transaction was not understood to establish a continuous payment for a premium service.

I have consistently found 118 to be an invaluable partner. Beyond providing excellent support with our company listing, they have gone above and beyond by assisting with malware issues and technical vulnerabilities I otherwise wouldn't have identified. A special thanks to Joshua, whose expertise and helpfulness have been outstanding throughout the process."

AVOID THIS COMPANY! IT USES SCAM PRACTICES

AVOID THIS COMPANY! IT USES SCAM PRACTICES
I posted a 'free listing' and was asked to pay £1 for verification, described as 'verifying you are human'. They promised to refund the £1, which they did. They sent me a few emails asking me to upgrade my account, which I did not. All the emails from them confirmed 'You are currently on the FREE BUSINESS LISTING plan.' However, yesterday I noticed they took £12 from my account without authorisation! They also keep my bank card details on their website with no option to remove them. I contacted my bank to report them. BEWARE, THIS COMPANY HAS BAD BUSINESS PRACTICES WHICH ARE ILLEGAL.

SCAM, SCAM, SCAM

SCAM -
These people reel you in with a 'free listing' making you pay a £1 verification, to 'verify you are human' promising it would be refunded, still not seen that money return.
But this is clearly just a scam to gain card details, because I then received an email saying I was now signed up to their Prime account and would be charged £10 per month.
Cancelled my card with the bank so hopefully won't be charged, but BEWARE of the SCAMMERS.

Here’s a brief version you can post:

*Updated 20 hours later - I received my £12 refund 😀and several emails asking me to confirm I have received it.
*Updated - I have not received any refund *Latest reply from team@118wescamyou: - As it seems you were unaware of having selected the Prime Membership plan a refund is issued. Please confirm upon receiving it.

**118 Business Directory – Be Cautious**
*Original complaint -
I was asked to provide my card details to “verify” my listing with a £1 refundable charge. Instead, I was later charged £12 without clearly consenting to any subscription, and the refund was never processed.

Despite several emails raising my concerns, they have not properly acknowledged the issue or taken action to resolve it.

If this happens to you, contact your bank immediately, request a chargeback, and consider reporting it to Action Fraud.

Very disappointing experience.
