Review about: Shaw Academy
Free Trial Membership
Shaw Academy is a scam. I did the free trial member ship thinking it would be a great way to try out Shaw Academy. I cancelled my membership but was charged 69.99 for the trial. I again cancelled my membership and discovered I was again charged another 69.99. I spoke to an agent, Glady, and was advised I would receive my refund for the second 69.99 charge but unfortunately not for the first. I was advised I would receive the refund in seven days. I has been over a month and still have not received the refund back in my account. They are a scam, do not sign up for the free trial.
Review about: Shaw Academy
4 Week Free Trial
Shaw Academy is a SCAM
I, like many others, signed up to Shaw Academy for the free trial, as I wanted to try out their trading course. I wanted to up-skill myself during the pandemic. I only wish I had looked at the review sites before I did, because I absolutely would not and should not have signed up for this scam. I hadn’t even been on the website 5 minutes when I clicked something about an e-certificate. This turned out to be a one-click purchase which charged me £39.95 immediately, without me even knowing what it was for. It didn’t even say anything about a price or purchase, I simply clicked the word ‘e-certificate’ to see what it meant and it cost me 40 quid. I then emailed Shaw Academy, asking for my money back (and came onto review sites and saw that I was not the only one upset with them). Their response makes absolutely no sense, see below:
“Your Certificate is incredibly helpful as it gives you a goal to work towards and employment. Your Certificate also provides documentary proof of your completion of this program which is very important and helps students greatly. You just have to click on the "Get E-Certificate" button to take the final assignment online and complete the final assignment with a 50% score or higher, you will receive the certificate via email.
Once the E-Certificate is activated in your account, the final assignment is made available to you immediately hence it cannot be disabled or the access cannot be revoked. Hence, we will not be able to process the refund as per our terms and conditions. Click Here to review the same in particular section 5.8.”
I haven’t even done any of the lessons yet (and don’t want to now), so why have I been charged for a certificate for an exam I haven’t even taken, never mind passed? They have credited my account with $199 to spend on their courses, which obviously I do not want, I just want my £39.95 back and to not have anything to do with this scam company again. I’ve blocked all future payments to them from leaving my bank account, and I am in the process of trying to claim the £39.95 back as loss to fraud, as this company is fraudulent, unethical and completely taking advantage of people who are looking to learn something during a global crisis.
I would not recommend Shaw Academy at all. It is most definitely a scam. There is no place to cancel your membership online, it’s way too easy to make a one-click purchase (even Amazon gives you more warning), and their emails don’t make any sense. I am upset and disappointed, and I’ll be taking this as far as I can to ensure that I get my money back.I am fighting this same exact issue as we speak. It is absolutely ridiculous and I just want my money back!
If you are in the UK phone your bank and ask for a chargeback. You will get the cash back. Tell them about these reviews and the bad reviews on trustpilot. I just did it and the money is back in my account now.
They took £49.,99 out of my account after sending a cancellation email
BBC Rogue Traders I think should handle this
You keep all the records from the mail and all the bank texts, if necessary phone even phone calls. Ask the executives to write a writeen mail of what they have promised. If they backfire you have a study ready. If necessary you can also threat to drag this matter to court. They will give up and refund all the money. Have a firm voice even if you are not sure. If you show an uncertain voice they will take advantage. The classes are fine, not as good as they tell but okay. ALWAYS REMEMBER TO CANCELTHE MEMBERSHIP AND GIVE A FAKE CARD NUMBER FROM TESTING CREDITAND DEBIT CARD WEBSITE. My card expired and they have no way to deduct money from my account
Do not let these fradulent people get to you. Please follow the above steps. I got my 130 USD back.
