Unsubscribing issue

I sent several emails for unsubscribing request but never got a reply!

★★★★★Oct 19, 2026
Keep charging me after multiple emails to stop.

Do NOT subscribe!!! They will not stop charging you. I have emailed multiple times, since there does not seem to be another way to cancel my subscription. No response at all. Each week I have to submit to my credit card company that this is a recurring charge I no longer authorize. I’m incredibly frustrated. Don’t end up like me!!

Fraud!! Alert!!

I cancelled this service after one week, have reached out multiple times and have not only not gotten the reply as stated in their terms of service, have continued to be charged. Don’t get unless you want to get scammed out of a lot of money.
