  I purchased a course from them, and they automatically added a "free trial" without my consent. They then charged me for an anual subscription of $168. I tried contacting them but only got canned responses. I did not willingly sign up for a subscription, they included it without my permission.

  Urgent Warning: Deceptive Practices by Domestika Leading to Unauthorized Charges
  Dear friends and fellow learners,
  I am writing to alert you to a concerning experience I recently had with Domestika, an online platform offering creative courses. I believe it's imperative to share this to prevent others from falling into the same trap.
  What Happened:
  Unintended Subscription: I purchased a course from Domestika, with no intention of subscribing to any additional services. Unbeknownst to me, my purchase included enrollment in their "Domestika Plus" membership.
  Unauthorized Charge: Without prior notification or consent, I discovered a significant charge on my credit card for an annual subscription I never knowingly agreed to.
  Lack of Support: Attempts to resolve this issue were met with automated responses, and I was unable to reach a human representative to address my concerns.
  Wider Implications:
  This is not an isolated incident. Numerous individuals have reported similar experiences:
  A Reddit user shared, "Many people got scammed into annual subscriptions... I was charged by Domestika. USD99. This payment was not authorized."

  A discussion on MoneySavingExpert Forum highlighted, "Loads of people feel like this is a scam, and have been charged when they did not sign up."

  Protect Yourself:
  Review Purchases Carefully: Always scrutinize the terms and conditions before finalizing any online purchase.
  Monitor Financial Statements: Regularly check your bank and credit card statements for unauthorized charges.
  Seek Support: If you find yourself in a similar situation, contact your financial institution immediately to dispute the charge.

  Stay vigilant and protect yourself from such predatory practices.
  Best regards,

  Scam – Unauthorized Charge!
  Domestika charged me for a subscription I never signed up for. Their customer service is unresponsive, and I can’t get a refund. Avoid this platform!

  ********* has clever ways to scam its customers in a yearly renewal without customers realizing it until the charges appear on the credit card. I have written to them without resolution. Often messages from them are automatic responses. No way to speak with them and then they simply don't return respond.

  Their paid courses are fun and fine; I bought several and enjoyed them for $5/course. This review is for their Plus offering, which costs $120/year.This service is very mediocorethere's so many details they don't give you at the front end. it's a limited slate of courses that rotate in and out, so you better start them long before the end of the month. But the biggest issue: You aren't actually signing up for Complete Courses, and are locked out of the final project, the literal apex and conclusion of the course, and resources.They give you 12 credits to use on Plus credits and purchase them, which sounds like a great benefit on top of the plus access, until you figure out they're actually basically meant to be used to fully unlock the plus courses you want to finish. Which is $10 a course, double the $5 courses usually cost on sale (which is constantly running). So this actually costs MORE than just buying them individually, quite a ******: **** limited offerings, not complete courses, have to use your credits to finish them, genuinely a scam. I accidentally forgot to cancel my trial, which is fully on me, and customer support will give no quarter even if you haven't used it at all/are dismissive - but I was pretty okay with it until I figured all this out. Really stifled my joy of even using the courses I purchased. Do not recommend.

  I was charged a yearly plan even though I cancelled during the trial period.

  I signed up for three classes that were on sale for under $20 and then later I was charged for a full subscription even though I do not want the full plus subscription. I was not given notice that this payment was about to go through and I was not specifically asked if I wanted this service. I would like a refund, as I do not want to pay a monthly fee of $120+ Canadian at this time. There appears to be no way to get in contact with Domestika to ask for a refund and to make sure this unrequested subscription is indeed cancelled for the next month. I have filed a complaint with ****** but it appears Domestika needs to respond to it for there to be action taken. This is clearly unethical business practices and poor community building...for seems like it could be a great way to support artists and those wanting to learn. Disappointed in this practice to say the least. Not in a financial position at the moment to be giving away $120 either. Please do the right thing and refund all those you unethically signed up for a monthly membership.

  Without my permission, DOMESTIKA Plus Automatic withdrawal is $119.99. through my PayPal account, I couldn't find anywhere to cancel it even though I wanted to cancel it. I only saw their explanation, and my account needs more explanation on the same page as the explanation. I fear cancelation is only "subscription and cancel the renewal," and they keep my payment information. If I accidentally cancel my subscription, they will charge me again. They won't delete the account in their system and will keep my information. I only got a response through a computer when I asked for a refund. No customer service intervened, and no clues were given on how to solve the problem. It's an entirely sloppy system.
