Le site shawacademy.com est-il sûr ?

Long story short - 3x charges without my consent were applied on my card within 3 days of a FREE trial. Thank God I don't keep all my money on my main account so there were declined XD no luck for them haha You can't delete a payment method from the account, and cancelling a membership is not user-friendly, it is complicated. In my opinion, it is a coaching scam scheme ( ref: ***** ) but a very smart one. Because when you join free trial you have to spend more to access more knowledge. NOT WORTH IT! Also if the representative calls you AND said that he is from shaw academy and there to make sure everything is alright - do this: either do not continue that conversation OR listen to ABSOLUTELY EVERY WORD THEY SAY AND MAKE HIM SPEAK SLOWLY S L O W L Y AS WELL AS REPEAT HIMSELF WHEN HE STARTS TO PLAY MIND TRICKS WITH YOU to confuse you that you stop following him, straight away slow him down, NO MATTER HOW AWKWARD IT FEELS or while on the call, insist that he send the email right now (not after the call) while you are on the call with you and you will continue only after that email arrive, to prove he is who he says or keep rescheduling the conversation until the trial ends (SCAM THE SCAMMERS, it's fun) or keep conversation no longer than 10 sec or anything else that comes to your mind. immediate 2x declined payment happened after that call because I did not hear him properly talking something and because agreed to talk outside the convenient moment. Lesson learnt. You do know how are they asking for our consent to record calls? so now I am doing the same, recommend. Hope this helps. Cheers.

Predatory and deceptive practice. Free trial but takes Credit Card details and then charges you with one click payments during trial with no confirmation of costs or confirmation of if you wish to proceed. Web site is buggy and hangs meaning you can end up being drawn into clicking on content and then being charged. Cannot cancel online. Will offer you extended free membership if you manage to get through on the phone and do anything to stop you from cancelling and will not offer you a refund, allow to to make a complaint, escalate the issue, or speak to a manager. I suggest if you have signed up that you block with your bank and change your card details there are countless users noting them charging you past a free trial and after cancelling. Insist they delete your personal details and banking details and confirm in return in writing they have done so (as required under GDPR, they have a Ireland HQ and trade in EU). Avoid at all costs. Also treat any positive reviews as fake - just look them up on Trust Pilot for example.

it's definitely a scam... there are not free courses... after you've enrolled and once your card details are given, charges without my consent were applied on my AMEX card... just only on the first day £100 were taken from my account because of the fake pop windows ...

It seems from the information gathered that Shaw Academy is bordering on being a scam. Their marketing tactics are undeniably shady and misleading. Sharing your card details with them is a risky proposition, as they have several 'one-click purchases' on their website that can lead to an immediate charge on your card. Numerous users have stated that their cards were charged without their permission as they had cancelled the subscription before the trial's expiry period. Shaw Academy's customer service has apparently given many users a hard time with the cancellation and has refused refunds for charges made on their cards. Shaw Academy is also trying to imply that enrolling in their courses is equivalent to attending university, even though their certifications are not accredited and do not hold the same value as university degrees. The website also does not provide any contact information, making it difficult for users to resolve their queries. TrustPilot has put up a public statement that Shaw Academy has been found to be indulging in misleading practices by artificially manipulating its ratings. These facts reflect poorly on Shaw Academy and even though it is a legitimate organization, it's trustworthiness is questionable. While no organization is without its share of criticism, the high prevalence of negative reviews across various channels cannot be dismissed as 'normal'. It is advisable to not share your personal card information with Shaw Academy, as there is a chance it may be misused. If you are inclined to try out the platform, it might be wise to use a 'burner card' such as a prepaid gift card. There are several other platforms available for online education with better reputations that could be worth considering too. Full review: *****
