“Be aware it’s a scam !!!!!
My son used this site for his CV and paid USD 1.95 but still they automatically deducted $24.95 after 7 days. They said it's the policy of the company to charge after 7 days and he definitely did not subscribe, My son used it once and paid for it, he also contact them but they said no refunds...You do this to scam customers and mislead them, shame on you!!!!
Worst experience ever. please be careful and be aware from this site!! Scammers!!!”
“This website is a scam. I only used their services to make one CV and I did pay for that CV right away. They still charged me for a 3-month subscription which I never asked for. They charged me for £44.85. Stay away from this platform.”
“High level and polished / devious scammers beware. I signed up for a CV for myself as applied for a charity job in February 2023. All fine got a template paid a few pounds, filled it in myself and sent it off to a company. Did all the work myself after all was just getting a blank template. On sign up and welcome email you have absolutely no idea you are rolling into a £18.95 a month subscription service which they say is for storing your CV and allowing you to edit it - joke - So it's one of those unless you explicitly ask to cancel (but why would you when you haven't agreed to a subscription) you will get charged. Sadly as we are a busy family with a kid and loads of transactions we just didn't pick up on it till a few months down the line plus it was via a card and not seen it as it wasn't a standard direct debit we just didn't see it. I wrote to them and said I was cancelling it - didn't trust them so called my bank and stopped card, even changed my card as said they were a scam. Dialoging with them verbally is impossible - whether in UK or Holland they never ever ever answer the phone - and online they robotically just say you should have read the terms and conditions - I am calling them scammers because on the sign up page and on their first email welcome you don't know absolutely at all you've signed up for a rolling subscription - they don't want to give even a £1 back now- I looked at their Uk - London address and it is just a box - so they can be operating from anywhere in the world - In fact when I emailed them saying I will take them to court for the £170 they owe me they say and I quote from an email "we will ignore any further messages from you" there seems to be unfortunately a huge amount of people cheated in the same way looking at various review sites about them and I will now make it my mission to notify all appropriate business support companies as possible like DTI and office of fair trading, also will be emailing as many educational establishments as possible and recruitment companies warning about this company - they act very arrogantly and just trot out their "you can't touch us because of our terms and conditions" so I am doing my level best to bring them back to earth a bit and have enough time on my hands to do just that.”
“I wish everybody could read these reviews before making a CV on the site. I genuinely didn’t think i will ever get scammed by making a CV.
I bought two CVs for 0.99c which was an amazing price initially. After a few days they charged me 24.99€. I immediately looked into it and wrote them an e-mail about what was this purchase for? It’s an insane amount of money for 2 CVs imo. Meanwhile i checked their site- and there it was. Somewhere sneakily hidden that as you use and pay- their site automatically charges you for a monthly subscription. Okay I cancelled it. They wrote me back in 2 hours, “your subscription has been cancelled”.
I was like okay, it was my fault for not checking this I cannot argue with them about that since they don’t even do refunds, but at least I have a confirmation that it has been cancelled . I let it go, since I cancelled it, it was over right?
No. This morning they charged me again for 24.99€. AFTER I CANCELLED. and. It has been five days. 5. Five fkn days not even a month! And I shouldn’t even be mentioning this since i CANCELLED the subscription. I immediately wrote them an e-mail and sent them a screenshot about wth is this? Suddenly they are acting deaf. Total radiosilence, but they were quick to write me an e-mail before, acting all high and mighty.
Now i have to completely change my card lol. They will probably try to charge me like Netflix or other monthly subscriptions I have. Fk this site im literally looking for a job and in this economy and my country 50€ is a huge amount of money. I feel horrible but what can I do now? I wish nothing but the same on scammers like this.”
“At first glance, CVmaker.com promises an intuitive interface for CV crafting, and in that regard, it delivers. However, there's a snag that users should be acutely aware of: the silent auto-renewals.
Though their renewal policy is technically available in the Terms & Conditions, it's easy to miss, especially with the absence of an advance renewal alert, which is a common courtesy in most subscription models.
I reached out, hoping for understanding or a resolution, but was met with a rigid reference to their T&Cs. While they stand firm on this technicality, I can't help but notice the growing chorus of users with similar grievances on platforms like Sitejabber and ProductReview.
If you're pondering CVmaker, I urge you: arm yourself with knowledge, set up personal renewal reminders, or even better, seek platforms that meld functionality with clear, transparent billing practices.”
“They cleverly scam you by putting you on a recurring monthly charge of $25 after you pay $2 for creating a CV. When you asked for charges to be reimbursed you get a quick reply saying that their terms and conditions do not allow for this. Stay away from this company. They are fraudulent.”
“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. And even after writing to them , they keep debiting on some pretext till push comes to shove. Do not use this service”
“Scammers!!!!! I only paid for a 7 day access to my cv and they took £18.95 from my account without my consent. Refused refund saying the account goes to auto renewal after 7 days! I one authourized a one time payment of £1.95!!! Avoid them at all cost, pure evil scam!!!!!!!!”
“Pure scam, they charge you 0.99 for a one time purchase, but secretely set u up for a montly 17,95 payment, i dont understand how paypal cooperates with this scammers”
“Like many other reviews, I was lured into paying $1.95 for a resume. It was not made clear to me that it was a subscription, and I was charged $24.95 without my consent. Stay away.”
“Do not use this website with your credit card!
I used this once and paid then for printing out two cv’s. I never subscribed for any more service.
Today they charged me twice for nearly 51 Euro total!”
“This is the biggest scam website that is allowed online, and it also ranks on the first pages of Google search results. They are a scam and are protected simply because they operate out of the Netherlands. Never use this scam website with your credit card; they will charge you without your permission. I hope it is shut down as soon as possible.”
“It is the worst customer experience of my entire life!!! Originally, I wanted to create a CV as they advertised this service, for 2 dollars. I am used to subscribing to various services and have never had any problems previously. I created a nice CV this time (could have done it for free somewhere, but I had to do it asap) and was charged 2 dollars. However, it turned out to be that there was fine print that I hadn't read, because, as I've mentioned before, I was so nonchalant about it because of my previous positive experience. So, as it turned out, one morning they charged me 25 dollars out of the blue. I was shocked. I didn't remember SUBSCRIBING to anything! It was especially sensitive to me because I'm from Ukraine and every single cent is important to me. I wrote to their support in a kind way, as I used to do before with other services, to kindly give me a full refund. They replied that according to their policy it was impossible. So, the fact was that I hadn't really agreed to any subsription. It was only written in fine print, which is abslolutely misleading! As a customer, I am entitled to get a full refund of a service within 14 days without a reason. I began sending them multiple complaints mentioning this problem. I was still very emotional. They sent me two emails and then started ignoring me. Then I started writing to their live chat many time. Once, they only referred to their Terms & Policies and quit the chat, then ignored most of my messages and when I only pretended to be another customer, they answered that I was being impolite to them as I wrote that if they didn't fulfill my request, I would go to the police and file a chargeback request at my bank. I am broken now. It's such a mean trick to steal from unemployed people who are literally at war now!!! I must warn you that these scammers operate all around the world: there are websites in Ukrainian, Russian, English, Spanish, etc. Their physical address is in Amsterdam [Piet Heinkade 221 1019HM Amsterdam The Netherlands] so I have filed a scam complaint to the Dutch police.
They believe nobody would care for $25 dollars and go to the police because of that matter, but they messed up with a wrong person.”
