WARNING: A ¥150 IQ Test Led to Unexpected Subscription Charges of ¥32,950
I initially paid approximately ¥150 to take a one-time IQ test on ThinkLift.
However, when I later checked my payment history, I was shocked to discover that I had apparently been enrolled in a recurring paid subscription without realizing it.
I had been charged ¥4,500 seven times, totaling ¥31,500. On top of that, I was charged an additional ¥1,450 for a “Report Upgrade” that I do not recall purchasing or authorizing.
In total, I discovered ¥32,950 in unexpected charges beyond the original IQ test fee.
I had absolutely no idea that I was signing up for a recurring subscription, nor did I realize that such substantial charges would continue automatically.
What I believed was a simple, inexpensive IQ test turned into an expensive recurring subscription without my knowledge.
The entire experience feels extremely deceptive and almost like a scam.
I find it deeply concerning that users can end up facing significant recurring charges without fully realizing what they have signed up for.
I have already contacted ThinkLift’s customer support to request a full refund and cancellation of the subscription, but I have not received any response so far.
I strongly advise others to be extremely cautious with this website. Do not enter your credit card information or sign up casually without carefully reviewing every payment and subscription condition.
I would not recommend this service based on my experience.
I hope this review helps prevent others from experiencing the same unexpected charges.
