How is it that Paypal KNOWS THIS COMPANY Brainety IQ Test + Brain Training Games

IS COMMITTING SCAMS but yet paypal continues to do business with them???

If they were a legitimate company it would not have all of the complaints .

The intimal charge receipt has zero mention of recurring charges or services

 

Purchase details
IQ Results
$2.16
 
Total
$2.16
As you see it says for IQ test result
the second charge now includes  IQ Test + Brain Training Games
I never agreed to this
Since venmo now has a goods and service policy i am cancelling my paypal if i do not get my money back

A lot of times what happens is people accept a free trial for a product and forget to cancel.

 

As a buyer you must agree to a billing agreement/subscription before a merchant can take a payment from your PayPal account.

If you don't notice during checkout OR don't cancel then it auto renews. Be careful what you are accepting.

Check if you had a subscription set up and cancel it?
Click on the profile tab (icon next to log out) > Click on payments third option along on the thick blue band top of page > "manage pre-approved payments.''

Kudos / Solution appreciated.

Please let me know when you are going to refund my money

Paypal is going to do nothing.

I did not sign up for any service.

I just wanted to take the IQ test for fun and now this has really ruined my faith in paypal and your company

They did this to me too only, after I agreed and paid 99 cents, they took $39.99 then $28.99 then $9.97 before I could remove PayPal as a payment method. I have disputed the charges except for 99 cents, but I have a feeling PP is going to side with (in my case the scammer quiz company is called Cerebrem) and refuse to refund me. This is all the money I had/have, obviously no one would agree to pay a bunch of $ for something they just paid 99c for (oh, I have ordered my test results with a 99c free trial, but I want to pay another $80 just because I like giving away all my money!), but if Cerebrum tells PP I chose to pay that amount - which they cannot prove, I bet PP sides with the scammer. And I also will close my PP account.
