I typed “Claude” into my browser
I typed “Claude” into my browser, and this site came up at the very top of the Google search results as a sponsored ad. I clicked it, thinking it was the official Claude site. The subscription price—less than $80 a year—seemed attractive, so I signed up.
But immediately after the payment, I noticed something was off. The interface looked strange, and after checking more closely, I realized this was not Claude. I had been misled.
I requested a refund right away, without ever using the service even once. The payment processor, Paddle.net, responded with the same bot-generated replies, repeating the same messages and actions every time. It’s been over three weeks, and nothing has been resolved.
This site is pure evil.
Stay away.

It is now August 14, 2025. Here is the progress update.
After posting this review (though I’m not sure whether it was seen on paddle.net), I received an email from paddle.net and got a refund on August 4. I didn’t do anything else, so I think this review probably helped. I’m very grateful.
