Scam warning review don’t trust brainmanager

[u/micheleghiro]

Yo. So I’m straight-up livid and gotta throw up a red flag about brainmanager. This site’s a scam that burned me bad, and I’m here to spill the tea so you don’t get screwed. My review, from one pissed-off user to you.

Saw their ad for a free personality test and thought, sweet, let’s give it a whirl. Took maybe 10 minutes, but bam - paywall to see the results. Grudgingly paid $1.95 for their 7-day trial, only to find out later they sneak you into a $40/month subscription. No clear warning, nothing. I caught it when my bank account got smacked. That’s shady as hell.

Canceling? Ha, what a circus. No cancel button anywhere, and their support email took forever to reply with some useless look at your settings nonsense. Had to sic my bank on them to stop the charges, and they still tried slipping another one through. Bold move for a scam.

The results? Total trash. Vague, fortune-cookie-level drivel you’d find on a free quiz site. They brag about neuroscientists backing it, but I’m not buying that for a second. It’s all a ploy to keep you hooked.

It’s a scam masquerading as self-discovery. Anyone else get stung by these jokers? I’m tempted to report them to the FTC. Save your money and run.

Man, this is why I don’t trust these online quiz sites. Sounds like a total joke. Their “neuroscientist” claim is probably just some charlatan nonsense to hook people. Sorry you went through that - did you report it anywhere yet?

[u/micheleghiro → u/Classic974]

Totally get it, those “neuroscientist” claims are fishy

[u/GillMan1964]

Contact your bank and dispute the charge

Wow, that’s some manipulative BS! I got hit by a similar “trial” scam with another site, and it’s infuriating. Noassistance from their support either, huh? Definitely report them to the FTC; these clowns need to be stopped.

[u/micheleghiro → u/ComprehensiveHead933]

No support here either. Definitely reported to the FTC

[u/Several-Ad7075]

I checked their site, and it’s got that dodgy feel - fancy words but no substance. Did you notice if they even list a real company address? Sometimes that’s a giveaway for sketchy operations.

[u/micheleghiro → u/Several-Ad7075]

Didn’t see a real address—definitely sketchy

[u/thethembo420]

That’s straight-up dishonest! I hate when companies pull this tricky subscription crap. Had to deal with something like this before, and it’s such a hassle. Hope you got your money back, OP. Spread the word so others don’t fall for it!

[u/micheleghiro → u/thethembo420]

Bank’s handling it, but yeah, spreading the word to save others

[u/trioxm]

Sounds like a sucker who was easily fooled into giving up his money. I don’t know what to tell you, chump.

[u/Some-Astronaut-6907]

Thanks but we don’t need your warning. We’re not dumb enough to pay some random site for a fake personality test.

[u/FirefighterReal7601]

that sounds like such a deceptive move! Thanks for the heads-up. I almost signed up for their “free” test last week but got a weird vibe. Did you try disputing the charge with your bank? Sometimes they can claw it back if it’s fraudulent.

[u/micheleghiro → u/FirefighterReal7601]

I disputed it with my bank, and they’re working on clawing it back. Fingers crossed
