Parenting Leader is a FRAUD!
This company is a complete FRAUD! DO NOT use them! My son has ADHD, so I am always interested in learning new techniques to help him manage. Parenting Leader advertised a 28-day challenge, that suggested they would have activities to implement and track the child's progress. So I signed up for the 28-day challenge (since it was only $10). When I signed up, I checked and double-checked to see if this would sign me up for an annual subscription. There was absolutely nothing stated about being renewed into any kind of subscription. Many other companies inform you that you must either cancel before the end of your trial period, or you will be automatically signed up for a monthly/annual subscription. The Parenting Leader website didn't say anything like that. So I thought I was safe signing up for the 28-day challenge.
Once I got into the app for the challenge, I was immediately disappointed. There were no activities or anything real to try implementing. It had daily lessons, which didn't say anything about ADHD that I didn't already know. You can find more detailed, helpful information about ADHD for FREE just by doing a simple Google search! Needless to say, I didn't finish the lessons in the 28-day challenge, since they were useless. I wasn't that upset, since I thought I had only wasted $10.
However at the end of the 28 days (which was 2 days ago), I was charged $63, which I'm assuming is the cost for a monthly subscription. I was not given any notice that I would be charged this, nor did I receive a receipt or any acknowledgement that I had been charged. Honest companies send you a reminder that your trial period is ending and that you need to cancel or you will be charged. Honest companies also send you an emailed receipt of your purchase/charge. Parenting Leader did NONE of these things! The only way I even knew about the charge was because I was checking my bank account for something else, and I saw the $63 charge from Parenting Leader.
I searched and searched for an effective way to contact Parenting Leader, but all they offer is an generic email address. There is no phone number (I've searched the internet and still can't find one) for them. So when I contacted Parenting Leader through their email, they send me an immediate email response saying that my subscription was cancelled that I wouldn't incur any further charges. As for a refund of my money, they said that I had to show proof that I had completed at least 7 consecutive days of lessons. They offered a 1 time exception and said I could get a 50% refund. However, when I emailed them further about this situation, they stopped emailing me, and I haven't received even the 50% refund that they offered.
This company preys on parents who just want to do as much as possible to help their child be successful. Then they offer nothing that actually helps or educates, and they steal your money. Parenting Leader is a complete SCAM and FRAUD! Do not use them!
