Is foodie-hub.co Legit?

Add me to the list of people who were googling something completely unrelated to food when a popup charged me one cent through apple pay then "foodie-hub.co" tried to charge me $29.90 a couple days later. Thank goodness I contacted apple and got a new card number immediately so the charge was declined. After the $.01 charge I received an email with details about my subscription but when I went to the page I got a security warning that it's a fake site trying to steal my personal information. Absolutely disgusting thieving scammers, I've reported them to the FTC.

Why are these companies linked to genuine websites, it’s ridiculous. I will be reporting this as fraud if they take any money from my account.

I was scammed by foodie hub too. Was purchasing a product when thus popped up requesting 0.01 and I couldn’t get out if it, 4 days later they took £29.90 without authorisation. Had to cancel my card.

Scam. No idea how I ended up on a subscription, from an email address I’ve not used for years. From the other comments it appears this is a scam. I got a refund. Block and report this company

I’ve somehow managed to sign up for a subscription unwilling by a scam link taking £0.01 from my bank account then proceeding to try take £29.99 every month from my bank account I’ve contacted foodie hub numerous times and they claim that they can’t find me signed up etc .. absolutely no help I’ve provided them with the bank account ,my email ,showed the transactions and this still hasn’t stopped , ridiculous customer service no help at all

Like many people, when I was registering another app, it jumped in and asked for 1 click to debit me £0.01 from my account trickly for a 3-days trial. Three days after it debited me £29.99 for monthly subscription that I haven't agreed to.I emailed their customer service immediately for cancellation and requested to refund the subscription fee. At the beginning, they refused. I explained to them again that I haven't used their even for a second. Finally, they agreed to refund and transferred the money back to my account one week later.It's a bit cunning, but reliable.

My wife somehow subscribed to Foodie Hub, she thought she clicked on something via the Flight Tracker App but if doing so starts a 3 day trial for £0.01 prior to a £29.90 payment the dates don't stack up. Either way she unknowingly clicked on something and via Apple Pay it began the process. Thankfully Natwest detected it and declined the payment automatically and alerted fraud prevention. Have to say Natwest service was incredibly good but distressing how easy the fraud attempt was and Foodie Hub should be ashamed.

Scam like rest …. Registration for proper Cornwall walking site …. They took a penny 3 days later… £14.99 I agreed to no subscription with them …. And recived no services on phone to Lloyds

Just noticed a payment for £14.99 to FOODIE-HUB.CO. Never heard of them or knowingly bought anything from them, nor would I.Discovered another payment made last month for the same amount.I contacted Halifax. They refunded last month's payment and will refund yesterdays when it clears Pending.Believe the problem occurred at the Chilli Festival (Stags Head, Stalbridge, Dorset) on the 25th August where I bought two drinks with my Debit card.

1p taken from account but it was returned. Then Santander contacted me & said they had tried to take £29.90 but they stopped it from leaving my account.Card blocked & new one to be issued.Santander were brilliantEasy to fall for this scam so be careful

I got scammed. Not sure what even happened, but I randomly got a £0.01 payment followed by a £29.90 payment from whoever ‘foodie-hub.co’ even is. Avoid at all costs if even possible. I’m hoping that no more money will be taken out, but I don’t know yet.Edit: As of 12/11/24 another £29.90 has been removed from my account. Do something about this immediately if it's an issue for you.

Total scam. I was looking at flight departures from Manchester when suddenly a payment of one penny was made, I didn’t even put my fingerprint on the phone. Had to talk to my bank for an hour, freeze my account and wait for a new card. Apparently the penny is for a three day trial and £29 monthly thereafter. Annoying.

Was at a work event asked to scan a QR code to support the organisation - had to accept payment of £0.01, to Foodie Hub - totally different company that had clearly intercepted, and then 3 days later tried to set up a regular payment from my CC. My bank blocked the transaction, however reading some other reviews on this company think they will continue to try so need to remain vigilant!

I never subscribed to it I have been charged 39.92 and they are not replying to my e mails. I tried to cancel my Revolut payment however they say it’s a valid transaction!!!! Nightmare company do not go anywhere near it

Did not know that i had been unwittingly subscribing to Food Hub as it is not something that I would use very often as I tend to cook for myself and rarely venture out. A great idea if you go out dining alot. Watch your bank accounts guys don't think this is a fully trusted site. No offer to return any money makes me feel like, this company is already struggling.

This scam company apparently offers food recipes on a subscription £29.99 / month! They use Google advertisements in apps/websites to trick people into their subscription page and takes your payment info straight from wallet apps like Google Pay. With two clicks you are subscribed for £0.01 3 day trial followed by £29.99/mo charge. If this happens to you, call your bank's fraud line to dispute the charge and ask them to block any further payments. Keep monitoring your bank statements as these scammers will try to charge again and again. Blocking the card and getting a new one don't work because I believe Visa/Mastercard automatically send new card details to payment processors!

They took £29.90 from my account saying I had signed up to subscribe, which of course I didn't. They responded to my request to cancel the subscription but they did not refund my £29.90 which I requested. It appears to be a criminal activity by taking money from bank cards. I have removed my cards from Google. I have reported the matter to my bank.

Foodie Hub appears to be a scam. I remember approving a 1p payment on my iPhone (NatWest credit card). I can’t even remember what for. 2 or 3 days later they tried to take £29.90. NatWest must be on to them as they declined. Then Foodie Hub tried again tonight - again declined. I certainly never approved anything other than the 1p - there was no indication of a subscription. Very sharp practice indeed and I believe a pure scam

Foodie- Hub.co CYPRUS has now taken 3 monthly payments out of my account £29.90 for something I didn’t sign up for — I noticed on the 26 th June and cancelled the apparent subscription which was verified by foodie hub customer services only to find this morning another £29.90 was taken out on 1 st July

Customer service was very helpful and helped me with my concerns straight away. No hassle at all. Thank you 👍
