Ipad

Johnnomitt on

Australia

Hi, since installing your program on my ipad I can no longer make a purchase in clash of clans game. I have deleted the app and the problem persists. It has made a change which doesn’t seem to be able to be reversed. Please help I have had mcafee on my desk top for several years no problem but it seems this is not good for ipad. Also none of the email addresses you give on your responses are valid email addresses ???? Not happy considering cancelling my subscription

McAfee Scammers

Milton444 on

Australia

DO NOT SUBSCRIBE. If you subscribe to these crooks you will not be able to get out of it. They make it virtually impossible and it’s a nightmare. I cancelled the subscription l placed through the App Store but somehow these crooks still charge me. On their site you cannot cancel the subscription you have to physically speak to someone which is impossible to do. I cannot believe this place is even allowed to be on the App Store, it’s absolute BS. I’ve wasted hours of my time trying to cancel a product that is absolutely useless. I thought it had been cancelled until l got a scam email from them saying my data was on the dark web. I went onto their site to see somehow I’ve been signed up for a total protection garbage plan for 5 devices. I only have one device and now I’m unable to get though yo anyone because they keep you on hold indefinitely and I’m going to complain to apple and ask them why they are allowing this scam organisation on here in the first place. I mean the product is absolutely useless. I’m furious. Now I’ve suddenly been signed up for a free 2 month trial that they claim apple have given me. This is the biggest scam I’ve ever seen on the App Store. VPN is as slow as a snail and the rest of it is useless. Still unsure how I’m going to get away from this as their customer service who l got through to after an hour wait tell me they’re unable to delete my account, absolute nightmare. STAY AWAY! Yeah sure you’re concerned about my experience. You’ve already wasted hours of my time now. You used my Apple ID to sign me up for a free trial on your website and told me that apple had done it. I’ve just spoken to apple and they know nothing about it. Your company are scammers and hopefully apple are going yo boot you off their App Store for your fraudulent activities. Your customer service lied to my face and told me they knew nothing about the 2 month trial I’ve been signed up for. I’ve never seen a company like yours, EVER. You can’t delete your account or subscriptions, you put ppl on hold for hours trying yo get through, you’re literally a pack of thieves! 😡
