“Nikola Dimitrijevic
I have been lured to pay the monthly subscription which i havent agreed on, or even been warned about.
If you ask for a refund, you will be declined. They even threat with debt collectors if you dont have money on your credit card.”
“I, just like many others on this platform, also had a terrible experience with using cvmaker.
Cvmaker is a simple subscription trap scam, where they try their best to hide subscription based nature of the service. The way cvmaker tries to hide this, could almost make it illegal in certain countries.
On top of this, also at fault is trustpilot, because it was the sole reason I fell for this scam in the first place. I have logically come to the conclusion that almost all positive reviews on trustpilot on cvmaker are fraudulent/fake, which is especially apparent when comparing it with other company reviews on trustpilot. This is especially apparent when looking at the amount of reviews in different country branches of cvmaker.
I did then try asking for a refund, and was promptly ignored, left on my own to try to solve it in a dispute with Paypal, as cvmaker did not care less about taking my money, in some countries, illegally.
There are TONS of other free alternatives to creating a cv, so I suggest checking them out before going anywhere near using cvmaker.”
“Seems other people have had the same experience with this very unethical site that takes your card details and a small payment. Then on the DAY OF EXPIRATION they debit you a larger sum of money and say "sorry for the misunderstanding" and they cannot refund you because "that's not how the site works". Apparently you have to deactivate the account the day before it expires - what exactly is the point of the expiration date then??? Disgusted! Fraudulent! Dishonest! Theft!”
“I have also been victimized by these scammers. They took 30 euros from my card twice. The support team said that there would be no refund. And shortly after the call, I received a fraudulent SMS purporting to be from the bank. And I don't think it's a coincidence. I think I'll go to the police.”
“Fraudsters, unethical scammers. They set up this site to trick people into giving their credit card and then they sign you up to their services and charge you monthly. they even take the email you write in the CV and open an account with it without your consent. They refuse to refund the "subscription", only way to get your money back is to do a chargeback with your bank with reference to all the people who got scammed in the same way. takes a few weeks but eventually you will get your money back as they are proven to be scamming thousands of people with this method.”
“Stay away from cvmaker. Big scam. They charged 2 dollars for cv creation, and then a week later charged 25 dollars from my card for "a subscription" that wasn't even mentioned while creating cv or paying 2 dollars for it's creation. Big scam!!! This site should be down ASAP, I don't know how it's still online, and still taking people's money.”
“Absolute scam £1.95 to create a CV then start charging £18.95 for a subscription that they in no way indicate before I paid the £1.95. Who in their right mind would pay that to make a CV? The worst kind of company out there scamming people looking to find work”
“They claim they will charge you 1.95 EUR for a CV and you will end up paying 1.95EUR + 17.95EUR.
They will charge you a subscription without you even notice and PayPal will decide on their favor if you request for a refund.
You will never recover your money back. Be aware. Never use this site.”
“Sunt niste țepari ordinari si culmea este ca fac totul legal. Au un site care te imbarliga cand tu crez ca platesti pentru un CV, defapt te aboneaza la ei si dupa 7 zile te ard de 90 de lei”
“SCAM. Massive false advertisement. There are shady and incredibly unethical business practices going on with this website. Avoid at all costs.
The websites claims that there are two models for your account, a free service, which claims to "Create and edit your CV, Free account to save your CV"
and a subscription service.
I built my CV and went to save it to my computer, then a paywall block came up. I thought, well I've already made this effort. Might as well pay the low cost of £1.95 so it doesn't go to waste.
Worst idea.
This payment of £1.95, nowhere clearly stated, enables them to sign you up for a subscription service for nearly £20 a month. £20 A MONTH!
This is nowhere clearly stated on the site. I've talked to the live chat support to obtain a refund and they told me that they can't do this, as their terms are stated in an email received after the first payment to download your CV.
Is this ethical? Hiding a subscription service and not telling you until you've already paid for a product? Where the fee is nothing more than authorization to charge your bank account £20 a month for a service that somebody is never going to use.
Avoid at all costs. Worst company.”
“Fake business. Niște hoți, mi au extras bani după o lună de când am platit 10 lei pt descărcarea unui cv, bani pe un abonament pe care nu îl făcusem. Fusese gol contul și nu au avut de unde trage, iar când am alimentat au tras de ori într-o săpt cate 90 lei.”
