“Funky Pigeon takes "bit of a card" to a new level. Scammed out of £45 by this unscrupulous scammer. Ordered a New Year's card for a critically ill friend and before I knew it, a funky fraudster had filched £45 out of my account. If I hadn't questioned these monthly £15 debits with my bank, this pilfering would have continued unabated. On March 27 I contacted Funky Pigeon only to be greeted with an out-of-office reply citing the Covid crisis as the reason for temporary closure.
Fraud is a crime Funky Pigeon - you deserve to do bird.
As a freelance journalist with a bit more time more on my hands than normal, I'm on your case.”
“I ordered one card in February for £12 and I’ve been getting charged £15.00 a month for no reason and it doesn’t say what for !! I want my money back !!”
“Ditto the experience of other reviewers: noticed a £15 payment to FunkyPigeonRewards on my credit card statement. Phoned up Funky Pigeon, then had to phone up Funky Pigeon Rewards who are apparently a separate company!! I asked for a screenshot of where I had agreed to taking out this subscription at £15 a month, said they would not do this but agreed to cancel the sub. and refund the £15, hopefully this will happen. The calendars I'd ordered from FP were great, but this sharp practice has lost them my custom in future.”
“Don’t give this site your bank details. I once ordered a birthday card and just noticed that every month they take £15 from my account. I am livid...no idea where it goes or what it’s for. I am livid.”
“Please avoid the myfunkyrewards scam. They have been taking money out of my account without me signing up for anything. Struggling to get my money back. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. moonlight much better service”
“It appears that I'm just one of at least hundreds who placed our orders on 14th April 2022 and have received an email today 18th April 2022 telling me my card won't be delivered due to "technical issues" and that I could have to wait up to a week for my money, the money that was paid to Funky Pigeon at the time I placed my order.
I'd be interested to know how much of our money Funky Pigeon is sitting on, no doubt gaining interest.
I only wish there was a No Stars option.
Be careful of using this company, they take your money, they don't deliver the goods and they won't give you a refund for 10/11 days after you first ordered.”
“Cancelled an Easter card sendWednesday on Easter Saturday without telling me ! Fuming ! Never using this fu@@y pigeon again ! Shocking avoid these muppets !”
“I placed my order on the 2nd of May, it is now the 20th of May and my order has still not arrived. This whole process has been outrageous. I tried to amend my order seconds after making it and was told it was not possible which is ridiculous. I paid a lot of money, especially when you take into consideration the conversion from Pounds to CAD. This present was for a friend who was unwell after an accident and he has almost fully recovered now and never received the items I sent to him to get well.
This is appalling customer service all round. It should not be a problem to edit the add on gifts such as chocolates. I placed my order and a few minutes later wanted to remove The Wellness book and chocolates and for some reason this is not possible.
Very greedy company.
Should be more grateful for its customers. I will not be using it again.”
“Completely disaster service.....no delivery on time....no response from customer care......sent two emails to customer service but looks like nobody cares....”
“I ordered some flowers which were not cheep for my sister who is going through a bad time they arrived damaged e.g. no heads funky pigeon won't do anything without a picture and of course the first thing you do when your not well is to think oh need to take a picture after you have burst in to tears all I get is robots no humans to talk to even Hermes won't take responsibility although the flowers were thrown upside down on the front door will NOT be using these again no customer care in fact NO ONE CARES GRRRRRRRRRR”
“Birthday card arrived much too late and was therefore a waste of money. I didn’t know that the card would be posted from Guernsey! Have contact the company twice to discuss this, but they have not replied! I would not use this company again and I would not recommend them.”
“I bought cards with funky pigeon. One arrived one didn’t. My funky rewards then used my bank details and bill me for £15! Nowhere did I authorise this.
ABSOLUTE SCAM!”
“£15 taken monthly from my credit card for 4 months. Was unaware of signing up for anything when I made only one order. But wouldn't you expect to receive a, 'thank you for signing up to Funky Pigeon Rewards' and details of your membership number?? Obviously I didn't get any such Emails! I'll never use FP again and am reporting to Trading Standards. I've closed my account, so can't investigate. I've requested a screen shot and further details. I'm normally very careful about things like Amazon Prime etc and do not understand how FP got me as a 'member' at all!!”
“Like so many people, i have had £15 pm coming out of my account, when i had no idea i had agreed to this amount, and i cannot see what it is we are paying for , other card companies are much more clearer and do not rip you off , Funkypigeon are being DECEITFUL in their approach,
i will not be using their services again”
“I am NOT an idiot who doesn’t read all small print.. however I too have had money taken from my account completely unaware that I ‘agreed’ to this.!! As I clearly did not!!”
“They have stolen £15 from my daughters account and have closed their phone lines rather than manning them remotely. This is disgraceful avoid this terrible company.”
“Be very aware of the Rewards Scheme with Funky Pigeon. I have since been 'robbed' of 4 payments of £15 . I have been in touch with the company that Funky Pigeon gave my details to and received a very unsatisfactory reply. This is not a rewards scheme it is daylight robbery. I have asked to be reimbursed as I I would never knowingly have signed up for such a scheme as I do not have that sort of money. I will never ever use Funky Pigeon again.”
