AUVery poor business ethics and misleading deals A year ago, I bought a downloadable PDF from SamCart which did cost me $19. Little did I know that by doing so I signed up for an automatically yearly renewable membership subscription. Last month I got charged with $220 for a membership renewal - totally by surprise. I did not know I was a SamCart member nor did I received an email notification or anything telling me about a subscription renewal being due or that I would be charged $220 soon. Within a few hours after receiving the PayPal notification, I contacted SamCart’s support team explaining the mistake but without luck. Refund was denied. Given this experience, I would say SamCart is having terrible business ethics and highly misleading deal agreements. PayPal rejected the dispute telling me that I was in a binding billing agreement. The membership is of zero value to me but regardless my money was taken without warning.

GBSome great features and some areas for improvement I really like samcart and how seamlessly I can integrate it to my CRM particularly. Some things that would be great to improve:m - Clarna etc - I was so excited to see this roll out,. however, upon implementing it in my business I soon discovered it is only available in the country that you are based in (the UK in my case). This doesn't really help me as I have an international customer base. It would be amazing to have this roll out internationally - The interface for searching by product and/or taking a look at someones subscription seems unnecessarily complicated. You have to click through several screens to get to where you want to be

GBSamcart = Scam-cart Samcart = Scam-cart Fraudulently charged $144–like many reviews on Trustpilot, the Better Business Bureau, Sitejabbers, etc. Same story like others: My wife signed up for CreatorU $19… one year later charged $144. Scamcart customer service (should be relabeled as “Scamster Service” immediately says she signed up for the annual plan & didn’t cancel in time… but wait, they instantly “negotiate” a $45 refund to “downgrade” service, therefore they keep (steal) $90…again, same story as many other. The Bully Scamcart then says take the offer or get nothing. To add insult to injury, the Bully says by giving a partial refund of $45 (they keep $90)… you’ll be signed up for one year of services, and you must still unsubscribe from their services—they refused to do it. We refused to get bullied and request a full refund… they refuse, stating it’s in the “Agreement,” but then claim she did not respond to an invisible email supposedly send 7 days before, of course, she never got it—not in the junk mail either. Again, just what happened to other people who also get fraudulently scammed. Please inform when a Class Action Lawsuit Begins—soon they will poke the wrong bear. Buyers Beware!

GBMy $7 one off purchase is a $239 subscription - i wasn't told. --update-- At the end of this review I explained my alarm bells were ringing about the positive reviews. Upon further inspection, one of these suspect reviews has been posted by one of the founders pretending to be a happy customer but failing to hide his name - Scott Moran. He and his brother are the founders of this business, NOT customers with positive experiences to share. Be very careful everyone. --------------------- After checking the reviews i have seen that many people have been signed up to a subscription without their knowledge. I have just checked my account to see whether these claims are true and I can see they will be taking $239 in April 2025 - this for me verifies the complaints made over any claims from the business. To make it very clear: there was nothing to inform me of this, and if I hadn't checked my account to validate what others are saying I would be in the same boat as other customers. I was offered a $7 deal with no mention of a recurring annual subscription. I have looked at the option to cancel this subscription but this will then apparently deactivate the CreatorU account. You are forced to watch a video before being able to deactivate your account. I have held off while I exploit the available resources over the next day, and take whatever I can from them as this seems to be their strategy employed on all of us. I signed up for a 5-day course creator challenge, the materials appear to have been made without due care and attention - e.g. the pdf on chatGPT prompts has pre-written prompt templates, but if you look carefully the prompts in steps 2,3 and 4 (out of 4) are missing the end of the prompts and are therefore incomplete, which in my mind removes a lot of value and implies they are focussing on making money without focusing on providing high-quality materials. Further to this, the most recent reviews seem false and have set my alarm bells ringing. I am inclined to suggest that these are false claims.
