Description

I created “free” QR codes for my business newsletter and each time someone tried to use them, I received emails stating the QR code expired. So I attempted to make a monthly payment “as described”, for $14.99 per month subscription to keep the codes active. As soon as the card I used was submitted, $186.96 was taken from me. I immediately started contacting the company the only way they provided contact, which is through their email, and several attempts to get a refund and cancellation, was met with them emailing that this was not their company. I then sent an attached receipt to this email saying “is this not your company?” In which several emails again, they responded that they cannot refund my money. The QR codes still don’t work and they are not responding. I will be reporting this to my credit card company and having to cancel that card. I have all of the emails as proof of this.
