I've had a photo since the 80s of me…
I've had a photo since the 80s of me blurred and have seen the wonders of the internet as they've managed to unblur photos some of which were stunning.
Armed with this idea I searched Google and came up with this online business charging only 10p for their services. I uploaded the photo and paid the due monies. After a 5 or so minute gap while I guessed the magic was happening you're given the result of their hard work. Absolute rubbish. It was worse than what I initially sent them. I closed down the page in disgust and thought no more of it.
Meanwhile some 24 hours later my phone pinged to tell me those kind fellows had relieved me of another £49.90!
I've been in touch with my credit card company and filed a complaint. Still awaiting the outcome. KEEP WELL CLEAR
FRAUD!
Used an app to change a photo into an artwork, illustration. Charged me 10p. Today £49.99 transaction from the same payment details. Clearly fraud. Thankfully my bank intervened.
Bad ctools.ai
They're trying to get money out of my account every few weeks after I tried it. Please leave my money alone and I don't want your app or you trying to get money from me
Ctool.ai is full of shit
Ctool.ai is full of shit, they take money without using the app, you just open it and the next they they charge you a lot of moneys
Scam
Scam
Paid £0.10 for a picture and then they keep trying to take money out my account. Been trying to go onto the website and its not giving me access to the links for help
SCAM SCAM
Ive report you to my bank
Don't use, scam & will steal your info to charge shit!
Y'know those nerds who read all the small print? Yeah, that's me. And I read the small print, the privacy policy, the terms of use, the cookie policy, and anything else I happened to come across.
And wouldn't you know it, there was *NOTHING* about £49.90 being charged 24 hours after purchasing one (poorly-enhanced) image for £0.10.
An absolute scam. Do not spend even 10p with them - especially since the picture was so colossally shit that I didnt bother keeping it!
SCAM!
Tries to take £29.99 from my account every day, luckily my bank flagged it as a scam and blocked the payment. AVOID!
Scamming
They said it was 0.10$ and the next day my bank said they tried to charge me for 49.90$ my card was locked cause I'm not stupid but still. Don't trust their image-pdf service or any other service they provide
Like everyone else,they said 10p then…
Like everyone else,they said 10p then charged my £49.99 reports scam stay away
Scam-Cancelled immediately and I was still charged $49.99
Like the other reviews-It says you will be charged 10 cents and then charges $49.99. However-I cancelled immediately within 15 minutes after seeing how bad the “Oil Painting” was…And was still charged. Scam. Stay away.
Watch out take 10p then be4 you know it…
Watch out take 10p then be4 you know it £49.90 is taken from your bank. I've reported it twice now.
SCAM
They offer a cheap service upfront except in super small fine print that's it's only for 24 hours trial and they will charge you another 50$ after that. Stay away from this.
Fraud
Fraud company m Initially charged me for 10p for a picture which i thought was okay and next day I got a msg from My credit card company asking if I recognise the transaction and that's when I saw the msg that they tried to strip me of 49.9£ .which i declined .
Stay away from them
Deceptive subscription practices
The company is only interested in making a quick $50 by putting their 24-hour auto-subscription in small text. If the company was really interested in supporting a thriving userbase, they would be more explicit in their sign-up process, extend the trial period, and give users an interactive confirmation email. This is nothing but a cash grab.
Picmagic/ctool.ai is a SCAM
Picmagic/ctool.ai is a SCAM. Tried it, believing it was only £0.10, then get a message from my bank saying that a payment of £49.90 was declined for this company. I didn't authorise anything other than original £0.10. Very misleading and naughty.
This is Saturday
This is Saturday. I was told I would be only paying 10 Cents (on Friday) This morning I was charged $49.+ on my card.
There is no one to answer at their end to stop the "24 hours trick" !!! I'm actually crying (I am 90 yrs old). I'm so sick of being scammed - I'll lose this credit card also!

I also fell for the £0.10 scam
I also fell for the £0.10 scam. It DOES say, in bold, under the payment area, that you WILL be charged £49,90 if the subscription is not cancelled within 24 hours. But you don't realise you're subscibing becuase it does say that anywhere but in this small print. AWFUL business practice, but I am most disappointed in myself for falling for this. I should never have paid the £0.10.
FRAUDULENT
FRAUDULENT
They charged my credit card .10 cents for a photo touch up and then tried charging $49.50 to my card twice, without me knowing it!
The bank declined both attempts because of suspicion of fraud, fortunately.
