CAScammers and Frauds I never once made any accounts or subscriptions to this website yet Ive been charged over 400$ in subscription fees... I've checked all my e-mails not a single one has been, is, or will ever be, linked to these scamming fraudsters. Ive since reported it as fraud and reported the company and had to get a new bank card. This company/website is garbage and needs to get shut down.

GBGood company gone Bad - AVOID Scam company. we used for many years to buy 10 photos when needed. They moved to an annual subscription model cleverly disguised as a Monthly model. We reactived a subscription , discovered 3 months later teh scam and then 'negotiated' £24 to be let out of their little scam in addition to 3 months @£22. £90 for 10 photos that cost about £1-2 each on otehr sites Good company gone bad.

GBThe worst example of customer lock in… The worst example of customer lock in I've experienced for a long time. The cancellation process is designed to be confusing and often results in the continuation of a 'plan' you didn't want in the first place. Just give me my damn photos and leave me alone. Can't wait for AI to make this business completely irrelevant

GBBeware their "auto renew" feature which is enabled as standard I made a one-off purchase of 25 credits which I used within an hour. Checked my bank account today and I thought they had charged me twice. As it turned out, they have a totally unfair auto-enabled "renew" feature which basically charges you again and adds 25 more credits to your account when you have used the last of the previous set. I went on the website and contacted their chat feature. They have told me that I will receive a refund within 48 hours... I will believe that when I see it. Why do this? There are subscription options available. all the have done is annoy a potential long-term customer. No morals.

VNwasted purchase i bought a package of 5 photos because i needed one image, and didnt take any image for the rest of the year, forgot about them actually. Today i just checked, the year has passed, i didnt receive any email from Shuttestock to notify me i had these 4 images left. I didnt receive any emails from shutterstock since the confirmation of my purchase. So my plan has been closed (after 1 year) and i cant get the other images. That's a despicable way to make money.
