**AVOID BRAINSMATE

**AVOID BRAINSMATE – £1 IQ TEST TURNS INTO AN UNEXPECTED £39.99 CHARGE!**

Absolutely disgusting experience.

I completed an IQ test on BrainsMate and was asked to pay £1 to access my results. I was happy to pay that amount, believing it was a one-off payment.

A few days later, I discovered they had taken another £39.99 from my bank account.

I did not knowingly agree to an ongoing subscription or expect to be charged £39.99 for a service I had no intention of using.

This is an extremely misleading way to attract customers. People should not have to worry about being caught out by expensive recurring payments after being enticed by what appears to be a £1 IQ test.

Having now looked at other customer reviews, it is clear that I am not the only person experiencing this problem.

I want my £39.99 refunded and any subscription immediately cancelled.

**My advice: STAY AWAY. Read the reviews before handing over your card details. A £1 IQ test could end up costing you considerably more than you bargained for.**

There's currently over 200 one star reviews, going back well over a year, all saying the same.

Will they sort the problem, or continue ripping people off?

One star is more than this experience deserves.

Dear Paul,

Subject: Re: BrainsMate Account Review — Subscription & Billing Resolution

Hello,

Thank you for bringing your feedback to our attention. We are deeply sorry to hear about your frustration and anger regarding the trial terms and the subsequent £39.99 subscription renewal.

We place a high emphasis on transparency and strive to present all pricing, trial duration, and renewal details clearly before checkout. However, we completely understand how alarming and upsetting an unexpected charge can be, and we want to help resolve this issue directly and fairly.

Because we do not process financial transactions, store account details, or manage personal billing on public review platforms, please reach out directly to our escalation team at support@brainsmate.com with:

The email address registered during your test

A screenshot or transaction receipt showing the £39.99 charge

Once you email support@brainsmate.com, our billing specialists will prioritize your request, ensure your subscription is fully canceled to prevent any future charges, and review your account for a prompt refund resolution.
