I rarely write reviews, but my experience with Brainety has compelled me to warn others about their underhanded business tactics. I was lured into purchasing what I thought was a simple $2.16 IQ test, only to find myself ensnared in a recurring subscription nightmare of $38.80 per month, which I never knowingly agreed to.The audacity of Brainety's deception is staggering. Their checkout page, cleverly designed to mislead, showed the price breakdown for the IQ test with no mention of a trial or additional charges. To add insult to injury, it boldly proclaimed "No hidden fees," a blatant falsehood that couldn't be further from the truth.When I received the order confirmation email, it only mentioned the IQ test with no hint of a subscription. It even prompted me to review the purchase for errors – a laughable suggestion since the main issue, the subscription, was carefully omitted.Attempting to uncover the truth, I logged into my Brainety account, only to find there was no section for billing or subscription management. The only way to access this crucial information was through direct email communication – a tactic that reeks of intentional obfuscation.What truly highlights Brainety's lack of integrity is their shifting Terms of Service. Initially allowing users to opt-out of subscriptions easily through their profile, they conveniently altered this to a convoluted email process, making it harder for users to cancel unwanted subscriptions.Brainety’s practices are not just a severe annoyance; they are the epitome of deceit. The company's strategy appears to be trapping unsuspecting customers into subscriptions and then making it as difficult as possible to escape these financial snares.To anyone considering using Brainety: beware. This company is not in the business of providing educational services; they are in the business of entrapment and deceit. And to PayPal, who denied my claim despite this overwhelming evidence of Brainety's deceptive practices, your support of such businesses is equally disgraceful.Companies like Brainety should not be allowed to operate with such flagrant disregard for ethical business practices. I urge everyone to stay far away from Brainety and to spread the word about their deceitful schemes.
