This company uses misleading and…
This company uses misleading and underhand sales tactics. I will be reporting to the trading ombudsman also.
Agent informed me I'd received an Amazon voucher as thank you for purchasing a Thane product. He explained that it was through a service called froogul, which offered discounts. He explained that if I wanted to continue the service it was £99.99. I asked if I had to sign up to anything. He said "No" - this was an outright lie.
Later that day, I received an email informing me that I'd signed up to froogul, charged a £1.99 administration fee and liable to automatically pay the £99.99 if I didn't cancel my account.
My credit card was charged the £1.99, without my consent, by a company called Acai Marketing.
I called customer services, and they continued to gaslight me about me providing "verbal consent". This is categorically a lie. I see they have an standard reply to reviews like mine. Don't believe a word!
The "agreement password" that "must be given as your permission to proceed with the trial" was described to me on the call as a "memorable word" to "unlock the voucher".
This is undeniably a cold call scam operation.

We refute any claims that personal or bank details have been used without permission.

All the terms and charges are advised on this call and an agreement password must be given as your permission to proceed with the trial, which is made very clear on the call is a paid membership subscription after the trial period ends. This can also be described as a memorable word which is needed to claim the voucher and I would like to assure you that this is not a cold call spam operation. Our policy is to allow cancellations at any time, we even publish our contact number on your payment descriptor to make it easier to contact us.
If you want us to investigate your complaint and provide you full details on how and when you signed up for the programme and agreed to the T&CS, please provide us with your full name and address so we can identify your record. You can do so by sending an email to support@froogul.co.uk

IF I COULD GIVE NEGATIVE STARS I WOULD!!
I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction with the service my mother, a pensioner, has received. She was promised a £20 Amazon gift card as part of your promotion, which has yet to be delivered. Furthermore, when she attempted to cancel, there was no clear option to do so on your website. Your AI chatbot has proven to be unhelpful, adding to her frustration.
My mother reached out to customer service, but despite being told that the issue would be "investigated," no action has been taken. To make matters worse, during the conversation, the phone was abruptly disconnected when she raised a valid concern. This level of service is unacceptable, and we are now considering escalating the matter to Trading Standards and Action Fraud.

Many thanks for your review. We are sorry to hear that your mother had issues when attempting to cancel the trial and issues with the phone line. Unfortunately, as the membership is in your mother's name, I am unable to locate the membership to look into this further.
Could we please ask that your mother contact us again on 0800 031 9882 and our member services team will be more than happy to look into this and confirm that the membership has been cancelled.

An absolute disgrace
This company was somehow used with the mopping up of lost sales with Shop On TV. Not sure which company ‘really’ phoned me re items left in my shopping basket, but I was persuaded to buy on the promise of a refund on previous P&P (which I still haven’t had), then was told “as a reward for my years’ loyalty, I was to receive £20 Amazon gift voucher”. Now what followed was very rushed (and given the fact, I have to say to all call handlers that I have disabilities, including those affecting my cognitive abilities), but was included and seems integral to them nailing a contract, is that they asked for/I duly gave, a password. FYI I have physical disabilities, have been part bedbound, housebound and in need of carers 3 x per day for 11 years now; I have NO need for discounts for restaurants, let alone The National Trust and Alton Towers!!! TWICE I’ve called this company to ask for my £1.99 back and once I’ve called Shop On TV (I’ll never shop with them again!!! 😡). I’ve not only been refused my refund, but I’ve had the phone put down on me TWICE; Shop On TV did it when I was in tears. I’ve had to cancel my card because (thanks to these kind people for sharing their awful experiences) I’d be days away from them taking £29.99 out of my bank account. These scumbags working off scripts are no better than those businesses in Mumbai that scam people all over the world. I’m disgusted by the way I’ve been treated by this company, and the company I previously trusted and will never buy from again 😡

Feeling ripped off…
Cannot believe this company have taken £99.99 from my bank again, I had this trouble last year and couldn’t get my money back. I’ve tried emailing them but I haven’t had a reply. I’m a pensioner living on the state pension and they have just taken half of this weeks pension. If anyone has any advise on how to get my money back or how to stop this happening again next year I would be grateful.

Do not get involved with this company
Do not get involved with this company, they are so under handed in the way that their "membership" is sold! They claim because an email is received by them that you are accepting their T's & C's, when I said I don't recall the email they where pleased to tell me that they had tracked my email and can see I read it. However when I asked if my account had ever been logged in, used or activated they claim they couldnt tell.

Many thanks for your review. We are sorry to hear that you are not satisfied with the service you have received. I would like to confirm that this is offered to you at the end of a sales call and we cannot process without your verbal consent. We are able to see if the welcome email has been read, but we do not have access to a members account due to data protection. We have requested for you to provide us with further information so we can locate your membership to provide you with further information, but unfortunately we have not received a response from you.

Steer clear. Be firm request account closure
I bought a steam mop from Thane and was subsequently contacted by these guys. It wasn't really clear that they weren't Thane. Offered discounts on various items but at no time did the guy say anything about being charged £99.99 after a month. I emailed them and called customer service. I dealt with a lady called Cathy who initially tried to tell me that I'd agreed to it. After I insisted, quite firmly, that I hadn't she agreed to cancel the account. Hence the 3 stars. I've had a confirmation email and have taken the precaution of blocking any payments to Froogul with my card provider. Have also complained to Thane as I didn't give them permission to share my data. Steer clear.

Misuse of personal information and bank account details - BEWARE
Called me pretending to be Thane Direct ostensibly checking I was happy with my purchase. At no point did they advise who they really were or that they were selling a service. After the call I got an email with membership details advising they had taken £1.99 for month 1 and a further £99.99 to be taken for annual membership. I DID NOT AGREE TO THIS. Thane apparently saw fit to release my contact details and personal bank account details without my consent or authority. Tried to tell me that by giving them a chosen password, I had agreed to their terms and conditions. Appalling way to do business and smacks of misspelling/fraud/scam. AVOID BOTH THANE AND FROOGUL.

Unauthorised bank withdrawal
I had never even heard of this company until their name appeared on my bank statement and took £29.99p. I had to change my debit card because of them. I asked for my money back but they refused and said I had agreed to join in an email they sent me in February this year. A search of my email account shows no emails from them. Avoid this company like the plague.

£99.99 taken by suspicious company
Found that they had taken £99.99 following a purchase from an entirely different company. Chased it up with little to no success for a couple of days. Then went back to the original company who had to sign off on the refund. They don't have a website, they respond to emails intermittently and phone calls aren't successful either. I was signed up to the scheme via an email that went to my junk folder and was unopened. The first I knew of Froogul was the £99.99 being taken out of my account. Steer clear, they seem incredibly dodgy.

Good Afternoon.
We are sorry to hear that you are not satisfied. We can see that you agreed to a 30 day trial by phone and gave a password to confirm this after you placed an order online. On this call you were also advised that if you continued into the full annual membership, the membership fee would process at £99.99. A welcome email was sent to the email address you provided on your online order to advise of this and the date to call to cancel if not wanting to continue with the full membership, however the email address you entered was incorrect. As we did not receive notification of cancellation from you, the annual membership fee processed. We then received contact from you by telephone 3 days after the payment processed requesting for a refund. As you gave the incorrect email address, so were not fully aware of the payment date, we advised that a refund would be processed and this has been done within the stipulated 5 working days.
Kind regards

Don't reply to cancel emails
Tried to contact Froogul twice via their email to cancel my policy as I was missold - no reply at all.... definitely wouldn't recommend
They have since asked for more information on this and have done nothing to rectify this issue
Plus monthly payment is taken via 'card payment' so you can't cancel as it's not a direct debit!

Possible Fraudulent Company
Advised this company I no longer wished to be a member, cancelled in good time and advised them within the cancellation period. Followed up original e-mail three times, finally rang their unhelpful customer service to complain re the two payments they took from my account. They insisted they had not received my e-mails, and I should e-mail the same address as I had been doing !! Rang my banks fraud department to advise and stop any further payments. Would avoid this company as they may be fraudulent.
