A complete scam. They charge you £0.10p as a little fee for receiving your results, but written in fine print below is that it’s just a free trial and they will charge you £49.90p the next day. I have requested for my money back and they said they will issue a full refund, and I will update this when and if I get the money back.
Don’t even bother doing there useless iq test, they are scammers u pay 0.10 to see the results then 24h out of nowhere get slammed with a £49 charge without any notice. 0/10 stupid company , absolute frauds
This is a scam as there is nowhere that tells you that you are signing up for a subscription and you are asked to pay £0.10 with no warning that a further £49.90 will be taken from your bank without your permission.
THIS IS A SCAM DO NOT SIGN UP FOR THE TEST
Absolute scam makes you think you’re paying 10p and a day later suddenly charged £49.90. Have emailed but not yet received a response.
An absolutely atrocious company. They imply you are making a one off purchase costing only 10 pence to get a one off small product but then they bill you a monthly subscription. I could not see any small print about this and when you try to cancel, they try to rejoin you again where you risk getting charged again. Avoid at all costs or they will have your bank details which they treat as their own personal candy store. Do not use this company they are not up front and I feel are very sneaky about getting your money.
They charged my card repeatedly without my knowledge its seems a one and done payment but trued to charge on a later dat up to 60 pounds that they say they wouldnt refund scammers i have to replace my card now
Surprisingly fun. I started “just to try it” and ended up finishing the whole thing.
Not even 1 star; it’s a zero star website; step kids did 2 IQ test on their website; I paid 2 lots of 10p for their results and then had £99.80 go out my bank the day after, they refunded me £49.90 after 5 days of arguing with them and then when I raised a fraud claim with my bank for the other £49.90, they told my bank I knew what I was signing up for so why give me the £49.90 back then if I knew idiots!
This is a scam!! they will charge you 50 euros for a subscription even if you don't ask for it.
Do not use them they are massive scammers!!!!!
did the 10pence test after I looked everywhere to see if there was a sign up agreement. But I couldn’t find one. Then whow and behold 24 hrs later just like that a payment had gone from my bank account for £29.95 plus 10p. After finding out who it was I messaged them and said I did not sign an agreement and wanted my money back after several emails back and forth from first a Caroline then a Bonnie I managed to get my money back 4 days later, plus saying they had now cancelled my subscription no more charges will be taken. Then a month later the same amount has gone from my account, I have emailed them back and forth again this time the cheek of them saying I can have 50% of my payment back.
Well sorry SmartIQ (NOT!!) this is not happening again this time around though you have breached your word of contract and took money from my account after cancelling yet again!!
Great experience! The service was excellent and the product exceeded my expectations.

You are thieves who act without transparency, failing to mention that 24 hours after payment, the monthly subscription would automatically renew for 50 euros, which I would never have done if I had been properly informed. I took the IQ test last night to see the result. They asked me for 0.10 cents, which I agreed to pay. But now, 24 hours later, I find myself with a 50 cent withdrawal from my account. I sent a complaint email, but they pretend to deny it. If I don't get my money back within 24 hours, like you did, I'll report you to the postal police for fraud.
Update to 13/03
After some emails where I asked for total refund, they agreed for it, now in some days I should have my money back.
Total scam. Paid 10p for an image to be un blurred now receiving demands for $49/month. RIP off site. Card blocked and reported as fraud to my bank

This website is fraudulent. It deceptively charges 10 pence for an IQ test, and once payment details are provided, it begins deducting money from the card without any prior notice or clear authorization.
Please investigate this site and remove it from Google search results to prevent others from being misled.

Honestly, this is the worst thing that ever happened. I don’t even comprehend how it can say $.10 for a trial then within 24 hours charge you $49.90.

THIS IS A SCAM!
I signed up for IQ test after i googled site it stated it was legit , then when it asked for 10p charge stupid me , i should have realised then it was a scam as i had fallen for a Gov one the same ! Since then everything in my life has been hacked , ive been robbed of money too.
I came across your reviews , went back to their site , told them i knew it was a scam that i had reported them to Action Fraud Uk & blocked my card & unsubscribed too & i got email back confirming i had unsubscribed & my 24 hour contract had finished! However i then recieved 2 more emails saying if i want to unsubscribe , so we will see but definately a SCAM - oh just noticed only 2 hours after i did the test it states my 24 hours were up & my pro plan had already started What a joke!!! CARD CANCELLED

Absolute con.
10p for image manipulation then the next day they took £49.90.
My bank is trying to sort it out.
Does anyone have thier address?
If they are in the UK I will definitely be popping round.

Did the 0.10p trial then 24hrs later they charge you for the pro account subscription at an extortionate price of 49.90 with no warning off these changes when you purchase the trial at the advertised offer! Disgusting the transactions are pending I'm hoping they don't take it out I'm talking to my bank now.
