I didn't like the fact that it claimed to be a free test with free results and then made me pay to see the results. That is the same shady stuff that 99% of the apps pull now and it is so frustrating.... See more

SCAM!...

SCAM!...

Deceptive website that uses hidden or obscured terms and conditions to trick you into subscribing to high monthly charges. What makes this even worse is that it was my Wife who was scammed, she used the site and did the test because she is concerned about dementia, so they are targeting and taking advantage of people they know are vulnerable, despicable behaviour.

If you have been scammed:

1. Contact your bank or card issuer immediately

2. Report them to consumer protection authority or trading standards.

Hi David,

We understand your concern, particularly given the circumstances you described, and we take feedback about billing and subscription transparency seriously.

Our assessment can be completed without purchasing a subscription. A recurring membership is only activated when the membership option is selected during checkout, and the applicable pricing and billing terms are presented as part of the purchase process. We understand, however, that you may have found these details unclear, and we appreciate you sharing this feedback.

We’d like the opportunity to look into the specific charge and account involved. Please contact our Support team through https://iq-institute.org/contact-us/ and provide the email address used to sign up, along with details of the charge, so our team can review the matter and assist you directly.

Best regards,
IQ Institute Support

They advertise it as FREE test and FREE results which is a lie because then after the test they charge you to see it. I hate the false advertising and the dishonesty.

Hi Grahame,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand why you would be frustrated if you expected the results to be available at no cost, and we take concerns about how pricing and access are communicated seriously.

To clarify, the assessment itself can be completed for free, while access to the full detailed report and additional insights is a paid feature. We understand that this distinction may not have been clear to you, and we appreciate you bringing your experience to our attention.

If you’d like us to review your specific experience or have any concerns about a charge, please contact our Support team through https://iq-institute.org/contact-us/ so we can look into it and assist you directly.

Be aware of recurring charge

This organisation created a recurring £25 pcm charge on my credit card without my request. However, they did cancel the charge after I contacted them - so excellent customer service I would say.
