Scottish Slimmers Scammers

I took out a subscription with Scottish Slimmers today costing 17 99 per Quarter the money was immediately taken from my bank account This would not be a problem but after downloading the Scottish Slimmers App I found that there was no meal plan on the App or website and so obviously no instructions either I emailed an address given on their help section only to be told that you have to purchase the meal plan pack seperately from Amazon at a cost of 29 99 on top of the subscription cost I eventually found a customer service contact number in Glasgow 01412551567 only to be told that they cannot discuss subscriptions eating plans or anything at all The advisor said all he could say was all information was available on the website It was also impossible to receive a refund cancellation even though I had literally just joined that day I feel as if I have been scammed by a company that was previously very professional I have managed to cancel my subscription but they WILL NOT refund my 17 99 Without the eating plan there is no way of following the diet so I m unsure of what I have purchased except a useless App Please do not be conned by Scottish Slimmers they must be making a fortune scamming people in this way

DO NOT touch this app

Pretty much the same as the previous comment I used the app about 3 years ago and it was very good I signed up this month and discovered it had completely changed It doesn t calculate the checks properly the barcode scanner doesn t work - I was on classic checks If I chose boiled egg for example twice in a day it calculates checks different each time Same for bread- I quickly worked out that nothing is correct especially if you customise how much you had or put in your own new food entry I wasted many hours this week trying to figure it out I wrote to support this weekend and got two very rude replies from the person whose name is all over the free emails you know who I mean He clearly doesn t know how to run a business and support people I ve cancelled my subscription- this guy is only interested in your money people If people sign up once then he s getting that Please don t sign up It s easier to work it all out for yourself A hint cut oil when frying food use a 1cal spray instead cut butter margarine and cheese down reduce pasta and bread portions and lower your meat intake to one chicken breast or thigh for example and increase on fruit and vedge everywhere Hope that helps

Used to be good Until Nov 2019

I was a member of SS for around 3 years and lost a lot of weight found the website supportive and the app was so easy to use Then the company folded only to return 6 months later Great Decided to join up again to lose 7lbs before Christmas I got precisely 11 days of functioning app until an update overhaul upgrade or as I and many many other people would call a complete up App was never useable after that Admin failed to communicate and seemed to hide behind a Facebook wall of silence they used to have their own website which was great as not everyone is on Facebook Enquiries were dealt with passive aggressively patronising stock responses from the app builders they re getting paid to build this app Many many unhappy customers had to seek refunds via various app stores the company has no sense of responsibility nor it seems pride in providing a good product A year on and looking through reviews of the app and it appears to be no better I joined Weight Watchers for a fewmonths totally excellent

A total waste of money Do not join

I joined Scottish slimmers online 4 days ago and it is a waste of 17 99 I went for the checks but it is useless does not accurately count checks example cheese bread no checks why when they have calories if you have money to throw away its fine otherwise stay away

Took money for a year s service when I

Took money for a year s service when I signed up for 3 months and the phone isn t answered I need the money backFurther update - email responses do not provide help Best way to deal with is to either not join or to claim through bank and send evidence of the reply emails as SS unwilling to help as your account is managed by you even though the online account is faulty

I know you d think I would have learned it was great when there was classes to attend I don t think the on-line works as well just my opinion

I joined today wish I hadn t it s a lot of time and effort to add all the items to get check value when you can just look at the packaging of food ie 25 calories 1 check I only paid for 1 month cancelled through my Apple app

Money making scam

Do not touch They have taken an unauthorised payment from me when I tried to cancel my subscription and when i have contacted them they have ignored me until I got trading standards involved where I was accused of harassing his staff because i dared to ask for my money back Andy Bests attitude stinks With tough luck attitude and only interested in money Use another diet provider Do not get sucked into this money making scam

Do not be fooled into thinking this is Scottish Slimmers of old

Do not be fooled into thinking this is in any way like the Scottish Slimmers of old It is a complete waste of time and in my opinion a complete scam by Andy who has taken over the name I tried to cancel which proved very difficult and continued to have money taken from my account despite e mailing them to tell them to cancel subscription and stop taking money from my account I joined slimming world which is excellent and well worth the money
