It was all but impossible to cancel subscription and required a separate cancellation site (Pissed Consumer) to do so which they promptly did without any fees.

SUPER SCAM!
August 19, 2022

You are not aware that this is a simple 20 question test until you take it! You cannot ascertain someone's IQ with 20 questions. So I played along. I tried to cancel the 'subscription' but the site they send you to did not work! I finally called to cancel and the young lady (who was very nice and helpful) worked for basically an answering service. She answered calls for two companies. These people are located in Nicosia Cyprus! It's almost like doing business with a company from China! They are not interested in following our laws even though they do business in our country! These people are as bogus as a football bat! Can you say SCAM?

Bad Business
November 25, 2021

So they waste your time stating "free IQ test", the questions are easy and halfway through I was all. Why am I doing this? But was commuted. Spoiler alert! They don't even give you your results before asking for money. So it's not free. It's a scam. Had they given me my results and encourage me I sign up to play games or do challenges to better my thinking. I'd have been all for it! But to scam me from the start. I feel pretty dumb and there is no way I'm paying any fees to be lied to.

$2 IS NOT FREE
September 22, 2022

This site is trash! Lure you in with a free IQ test (posted multiple times that it's free) only to boldly lie at the end to try and trick you into a monthly subscription of garbage. Don't waste your time because you won't get your results without paying!

A big runaround
December 26, 2022

I did not even get to the point of first payment. They were supposed to send me a code via email so I could sign up for their service. I tried twice. No code sent. Maybe just as well. I think I was about to be drawn into a scam. My big concern is all the personal information I provided them as I filled out the initial paperwork. I wonder if by not becoming a member they did not get my Info? Or did they? Anybody have any ideas?

What a sham!
January 11, 2023

I must have a low IQ for falling for their trap! Get you to invest time in a test, then charge you for the results. Worse part is, it's not just $1.99. Terms say you're actually agreeing to their terms by moving forward, and it's a monthly subscription of $27.88 if you don't cancel (which most people won't, because they'll likely forget. Very dishonest form of marketing that damages reputations!

"By clicking continue I agree to the Terms of Service, including the billing terms. I understand that I am enrolling in a 7 day IQ access package for$1.99. If I decide to cancel during the period I will only be charged this amount. Otherwise, I will be charged $27.88 every month until I cancel my subscription, and I may cancel at any time."

They took my money
May 21, 2023

I'm not happy with their service, they are completely a rip off, and they don't in any way respect the values of any individuals who care about their own education!

I made the mistake of signing up without actually looking into this site. It seems genuine and legit upon first glance, but it is just a money scheme to get a couple bucks out of you. You get a seven day trial for $1.99, but then have to email to cancel or they will charge nearly $30 per month. Any site that requires you to email or call to cancel your subscription is garbage by default. It is so easy to add that feature to your site, but when you know people won't like your "product", of course you want to find a work around. What a shameful practice.

All you have to do is call credit card company and cancel the monthly draft. If it's a bank account you can pay a minimum fee to stop payment which is good for a year. Lol the scams are getting absolutely ridiculous!

I have to pay 1.99$ just to view my IQ result I tried on a the initial test from an ad. Judging from other review tests they offer are awful. Don't buy-waste of time. Also don't even bother completing their initial IQ test as they won't give you the results for the test until after you have subscribed to the full service. Complete waste of 20 mins!
