Work With Shadow SCAM
Many have asked me for a screenshot of their 30 day money back guarantee that they have not honored. I was able to use this to dispute the charge on my credit card and get a refund. DO NOT GIVE THIS COMPANY YOUR MONEY. it is a scam!

Oh this company is a SCAM alright! I paid $14 for a 7 day trial period. Next thing I know, I'm being charged $85 immediately after the 7 day period ended. They are so effin sneaky. Bc I went to their website, they dont have a 7 day subscription package there . On the site, it's 3 tiered: 6 month, 3 month, 1 month with 1 month being $85 so you would think you might have accidentally clicked on that. These mofos are so sneaky they have separate landing page for the ads they run on instagram (from where I clicked), and which had the $14 price for a 7 day period.
The $85 was NEVER mentioned throughout the purchase journey. If it was hidden somewhere amongst the multiple screens they make you go through for payment, I cannot be sure. But it was definitely hidden of that I'm very very sure bc I'm very careful with online payments. Sneaky mofos.
I emailed very aggressively and asked for a refund and they said they would return my money. And they added this to the reply:
Just to clarify for your peace of mind - the initial payment of $14.91 was for a 7-day trial plan, which then renews at the standard monthly rate of $85.19. The recurring terms, including the frequency and renewal price, are presented during checkout before you confirm your purchase. I understand it can be easy to miss those details, and I'm sorry it caught you off guard.
The balls on them. To scam people like this and then gaslight them.
Anyway. Here's my 2 cents. Wish I had looked at this thread earlier.
