I had unfortunately given Shaw Academy (shawacademy.com) my email address, and they send spam to purchase their products multiple times a day. There is no way to opt out. What happens is they have a link in their emails to opt out. You click on it and it takes you to a page telling you to click the button to unsubscribe. BUT that button does not work (doesn't do anything).
I have tried directly contacting Shaw Academy multiple times about this and they ignore every request. I use the email for work purposes and constantly multiple times a day getting emails from them puts a strain on my productivity. Having to filter through them, etc.
Don't give any contact details to Shaw Academy. Also, I am not sure if this was them too, but looks like they might have sold my info, because after giving them my email I started receiving other types of junk from other companies.
Through an Instagram social media posting, on May 19, 2020 Shaw Academy offered me free 4-week online course with 30-day trial, took my credit card info, then told me I needed to buy course materials.
I immediately processed a 10 step process on their website requesting cancellation of my account, any free trial, and for my credit card to be erased from their system. This cancellation protocol on their website finally advised me that the only way to cancel my account was to call a telephone number provided with a reference number provided. Over the next 2 days, May 19 and May 20, I call that number 7 times, and each time an automated voice would say someone will be with you, repeatedly for about 3 minutes, and then the automated voice would say someone will call you back at your number, and the call would be disconnected.
I went back on the Shaw Academy website, and wrote customer support requesting, categorically, that my account be cancelled, including the free-trial, and that my credit card be erased from their system. Over two days I received a few auto-generated responses that kept telling me that I did not have to cancel. When I threatened to file business complaints, I received a response from someone named Gomes, telling me that I needed to file a cancellation through their website, which is what leads to a phone system that disconnects me from the call, as I reported above.
I ordered a 30 day free trial for the digital marketing course that this company offers several days before my free trial was up they stole $70 from my account. They claim that it is apart of their terms and conditions to offer someone a free trial and then within that free trial period they can charge your card and then say oh we don't give refunds. I read very throughly over their terms and conditions and it does not state anywhere that they can charge your card within the 30 day trial period.
I thought that the point of a 30 day trial was to try out a course and if it's not something that you like you have a right to cancel within the allotted 30 days. DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY THEY ARE SCAMMERS!!!!!!! The charge on my card was from the UK not even the US.
