Many people have complained about being charged without permission, broken promises, and bad customer support.
This article looks into the problems with Smartyplus, shares what people have gone through, and helps you know what to do if you’ve been scammed.
What Is Smartyplus?
Smartyplus claims to be a subscription service for cashback and savings. It promises rewards like $15 cashback for purchases.
But behind the promises are sneaky charges, unclear sign-ups, and a lack of honesty.
They often add subscriptions when people buy something on other websites, charging them $1 to $43 each month.
Many people only realize this when they see surprising charges on their bank statements.
Our Review
Reviews from users show a troubling side of Smartyplus. Many say the sign-up process is unclear.
People think they’re just getting cashback or discounts but later find they’ve signed up for a paid service without knowing.
Some say their card details were used without their permission after shopping on other sites.
Customers often report starting with small charges like $1, which grow into bigger monthly payments like $25 or more.
Even when they contact Smartyplus to cancel and ask for refunds, they are met with poor support or refusal.
One person said they lost almost $800 to unexpected charges and got only a small refund.
Worse, Smartyplus seems to charge people even after they cancel their cards. Some users have had to close their bank accounts to stop the charges.
This suggests the company may be sharing card data in shady ways. Many who try to fix the problem face long and frustrating processes.
While a few people have managed to get their money back by disputing charges with their bank, it often takes a lot of effort.
Most customers feel Smartyplus tricks people and takes advantage of online payment systems to charge them unfairly.
What to Do If You’re Scammed
If Smartyplus has charged you without permission, act fast to protect your money. Start by telling your bank about the problem and asking for a chargeback.
Cancel any subscriptions with Smartyplus directly and make sure they confirm the cancellation in writing.
You should also file a fraud report with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) or a similar agency in your country. Check your bank statements regularly to spot any new charges.
To stay safer online, think about using virtual or disposable cards for shopping so scammers can’t get your real card details.
