  • - I paid $34.99 for a product I never received and could not reach anyone by phone; they hung up.
  • - I want a refund or the product emailed to me.

I paid for a product and I never received it. I called to resolve the issue, and no one answered the call.

They hung up on me. How can I get my money back from you or the product downloaded to my email? It was the Psych Warzone on dyslexia or something like that; it cost $34.99.

Will you be able to make this right? Do not use this company, please.

I don't want price reduction I want my money back

Updated by user May 09, 2025

Please don't make the same mistake I did and sign up with them.

Original review May 09, 2025
The worst treatment and worst support I lost money on my first order because of them, the money arrived in my account from a customer I dealt with through Facebook, he asked me to create a store and some other things, and I had a part of the amount left that I could not receive, so I told him to pay by visa through my account on Gumroad, and I created a payment link for a product called test as a payment method only, after 5 days I received a message saying "Your account has been permanently banned", as an angry response and not understanding what happened I replied to them and said you are a group of scammers, I was very angry, the customer service employee replied to me with this response "Good luck on another platform, it seems you are a scammer" Here are the pictures
Then I received a message with all contempt saying this is what we can give you, and they closed the account and returned the money to the customer, and now I am torn between the platform and the customer who does not want to pay again
Believe me, if you swear to them 100 times they will not believe you and they will treat you as if you work for them and they will take sales tax too.

The company needs staff on hand there is no one to communicate with! There is no number to call to speak with customer service!

And the chat is automated, no live chat so it did not understand what I needed! I figured it out at this point, there is just no one around when you need them!

Original review Aug 09, 2025

Contains 2 confidential files for company representatives

I bought beneficial ownership information online. I did receive a paper to file.

I just registered my business. I was thinking the paper came from a secure source. When I scanned the paper, I saw it was on Gumroad, so I bought it. When I was done, I bought it.

I don't have any proof, not even a tracking number. I understand it was a scam. I need my $140 to be refunded to me. How does Gumroad accept people to sell BOI on their site?

It's a scam. I need my money back.
