Vecticon Reviews 477

Another scam service - fell for the single payment "bait and switch" trick. Do not use.
Also - if your password no longer works for this site - be sure to copy and paste the code they send you as when I tried to key the code in - it said "incorrect code" Luckily managed to unsubscribe.

Absolutely garbage scam website - charged me twice without my knowledge after I thought I was paying for a $1 one-time use. The AI enhancing was absolutely trash anyways and I had no idea they subscribed me to their disgusting service.

It tricks you into paying £1 for a single image, and charge £26 monthly without telling you.

Here is the reply I got.

Absolute Pony! Bullshit!

How do they get away with it?

An account I never knew I had. No password, No confirmation email of my contract with them. That alone make their T&C void.

I paid £1 in August 24 and didn't have a clue what was going on or the money being taken, no notifications, not anything.

Has their website been changed at all since Aug 24?

The 'Veticon Team' are no more than chancers sitting behind a screen and have no idea or understanding of international or EU contractual law. They are getting away with it simply because they can UNTIL somebody finally acts upon it with the full weight of the law. I informed them of International law and they have finally reacted and I would encourage others to do exactly the same and bring these thieves down.

The Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 (CCRs) apply to most businesses that enter into contracts with consumers. These regulations impose rules for "distance sales", which includes internet selling

If you buy online, by telephone, by mail order catalogue or from a door-to-door salesperson, the following more detailed information must also be provided before you buy anything:

e-mail address of the trader
any delivery restrictions in certain countries
the right to cancel your order within 14 days
available after-sales services
dispute resolution mechanisms
trade register number of the trader
professional title and VAT details of the trader (if applicable)
professional association to which the trader belongs (if applicable)
For these purchases, you should bear in mind that you do not have to pay any delivery costs or other charges which you weren't informed about in advance.

Contracts must be written in plain and understandable language and cannot contain unfair contract terms.

Purchase confirmation

When you have purchased something elsewhere than an actual shop – for example, online, by phone or by catalogue – you must receive written confirmation of your transaction. The confirmation must be on paper or in a durable format such as e-mail or a message to your personal account on the trader's website – provided it is something you can store and which the trader cannot unilaterally change.

SCAM! As all other reviews, tricked into subscribing when advertised as a £1 one off try! Emailed with no customer service skills, daylight robbery!

Date of experience: 22 December 2024

Paid $1 for a one off resizing of an image and ended up being charged a subscription fee. Went to cancel on the site for the "subscription" and they are now trying to charge me x3 $49 which doesn't even make sense because it's only been 2 months (says UNPAID - on 2 invoices on their website, and in my bank I paid the $1 and the $49 which was unknown to me).

Date of experience: 24 December 2024

Me too. Just feel dumb. Luckily my bank caught it. Freaking jerks.

Date of experience: 21 December 2024

Total SCAM. Now they are scamming people with a new name Bubbi.app.

Date of experience: 09 December 2024

Yep - like the others, just got scammed into buying a subscription. Very snakey - they make it look like you're paying for a one time use rather than entering a trial period, and then charge your card for a monthly subscription two days later without any notification.... Avoid!

Date of experience: 23 December 2024

Con company that shamelessly steals money off you... avoid

Date of experience: 21 December 2024

SCAM! Was told I'd be charged a pound/dollar for one upscaled image and this auto-enrolled me into a 'subscription' at towards £30. This money was stolen and I'm reporting for fraud. I've requested a return of my money but am not hopeful. The bank may reverse payment. AVOID AT ALL COST.

I have been stolen from the same as all the other reviews on here. I accessed the change file page through google so paid $1 not realising I had supposedly signed up to some bogus subscription. $49 was taken as pending straight away (so not two days as they said). Any emails to them got a generic computer generated email back. I didn't bother to try and unsubscribe as I didn't believe I was subscribed. I just went through the process of stopping my credit card and having a totally new one issued. Bugger, feel like I got scammed. If I was better at computers I'd try and throw graffiti on their page, hack them back or something ..... I did send a letter to Malta police but nothing in reply.. I emailed netsafe here in NZ and got a good response here is what they found regarding Vecticon....

This scam site can be reported to the domain registrar. The domain registrar is the service that is making the website address available online.

The Domain Registrar for vecticon.co is NameCheap, Inc.

NameCheap, Inc. have provided the following process to receive complaints about alleged abuse of their service by emailing abuse@namecheap. com. (no space after the full stop). Specifically, they ask affected parties to please provide supporting evidence of the complaint. These complaints must come from the affected party to provide the proper context for the complaint and further information may be required to verify the complaint.

I will have a go with this - not sure whether it'll work but worth a try.

Good luck and sorry you were scammed too, if you're here you probably were. Best wishes!

And I don't hate these people, I just hate what they're doing and if they're rich and not sharing this wealth with the poor then they will be shown this later when they finish this life.

I just hope that one day in the not too distant future we can live in a world that is more balanced where people do not live scraping/stealing money off people like this. Where we can all have enough money to live and be of service and feel worthy and needed for our skills and talents. LOVE is the only WAY xxxxxxx

Scam. Hides that it will bill for £26 monthly by direct debit, then issues false password to access your account so you can't cancel it.

Date of experience: 17 December 2024

This site is malicious and hides from the user what is actually paid. Avoid and report at all costs for dishonest business practices.

Date of experience: 07 December 2024

Same as everyone else- thought I was paying for a one time conversion, but apparently was paying for a 2 day trial, followed by a $30 per months subscription. Emailed them about it, but they refused to issue a refund saying "fine print". Terrible.

Date of experience: 10 December 2024

These guys scam you out of money. I did the £1 trial and test an image conversion - fair enough. What they don't tell you is that after 2 days they sign you up for a monthly subscription of £26 per month.

They do send you a "Welcome" email......and at the bottom in very small writing they do say you willl be automatically subscribed. Certainly not clear at all...so AVOID AT ALL COSTS

DO NOT USE THIS!!!

I was searching for an AI image enhancing product online and found Vecticon was one of the suggested results on Google. They charged £0.76 to enhance a photo, and as I needed it I paid this.

However, since then I have been charged around £23 a month for a product I do not use. I did not sign up for a subscription and it took me several months to realize as there is no subscription record or email confirmation.

To date, Vecticon have taken £93.47 from me without my consent or approval. I have contacted their customer support, but am not hopeful.

Do yourself a favor and DO NOT USE THIS.

Date of experience: 09 December 2024

Me too !! I fell for the scam, these guys are terrible DO NOT USE

Date of experience: 06 December 2024

Total scam. Like others, I used their service to enhance an image resolution for )1 and subsequently was charged €29,00/month NO SUBSCRITION DETAILED

Date of experience: 06 December 2024

Total scam. Like others, I used their service to enhance an image resolution for $1 and subsequently was charged $30/mo until I received an alert from my bank. This had gone on for three months and my bank has told me that since "I signed up for their service" (I never signed up for this, c'mon) they can't do anything. Yep, even though my bank alerted me, they couldn't do anything. Lame.
