Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

Most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Customers express significant dissatisfaction with various aspects of the service. People are particularly unhappy about payment issues, citing unexpected charges and hidden subscription fees. Consumers also report concerns about the pricing structure, feeling it is not transparent. The subscription model is a sore point for many, with reviewers feeling misled into recurring payments. The refund process is another area of concern, with many customers struggling to get their money back. Finally, some reviewers find the website itself to be deceptive and not user-friendly.

They trick you by thinking you are buying the service for one time and then they charge you £50 monthly
After communitaction with pdfgo customer service they agreed to issue a refund and i should receive it soon.

It is a scam. Do not even enter the website. They setup a 49.90GBP monthly payment cycle, while on the website it only showed me 0.10GBP for one PDF merger.

It’s a scam

It’s a scam. As everyone else, I’ve been charged 0.10€ for one file and the day after I saw a 49.90€ charge for a subscription I never signed up for. I’ve opened a dispute with the company through PayPal account and I’m still sending lots of emails until they refund 100% - they gave an option that seems the way they win money and I don’t accept it.

SCAM / COMPANY WITH DEVIOUS TECHNIQUE TO OVERCHARGE

SCAM - FRAUD - WEBSITE WITH DECEITFUL TECHNIQUES

Just like all reviewers have said, this website invites you to compress a pdf for a charge of 10 pence ( £0.10 ). After entering the paypal or other id, the next day or after 2 days you will see a debit of £49.90 on your card.

This happened to me as well. Order code P69625eb6e4b00efa498c0efb / Transaction date = 10-Jan-2026 / Debit on 13-Jan-2026

Then I wrote to support at pdfgo co and also raised a dispute via PayPal. Initially they just refused to help. Instead said that if you click this link, Future monthly debits of 49.90 will stop.
Then when i escalated this to my card company and to met police and cyber security, they have agreed to refund the £49.90 but I am yet to receive it.

In short this company deceives customers by saying the charge is £00.10 but charge you AFTER 2 DAYS, an amount of £49.90

Please, if you get scammed by this company write to
feedback at met police uk, dpsmailbox-.cru at met dot police uk , dlsmailbox-allocations at met police uk, HomeOfficePolicyMP at homeoffice gov uk, correspondence at attorneygeneral gov uk
and escalate under the consumer protection act and report this website to NCSC GOV UK

This company is a total scam they steal money from your account. I used their service for a file compression and agreed to pay 0.10 for that service. Later during the night i received a mail with a debit amount of 50£ for a subscription which was never agreed on nor known about.
They won’t refund the amount and ignore your claim. This is a total fraude certain to steal money without your knowledge as result you will be forced to cancel your credit card in your bank to stop further amounts to be debited.
Scam! Scam! Scam!

Scam Company

I’ve used their service one time and it was mentioned 0.10 GBP while downloading the document and there was no mention of subscription but they decided to charge 50GBP on the next day without any notice. Now they are pursuing me to take 50% refund which is absolutely ludicrous support. I am convinced that they are a scam company from china and If there is an option to report this company as a scam to somewhere I would do that. I’ve decided to go to any extent to affect their business and I have the capability to do that.
