My view is thier customer service sucks. I call over 10 times no answer. Had to fill this form out which leads someone to se my email. They ran a scam on me

Please refund my money. I didn't know the cost was maybe a quarter of this charge price.

I used it once on the day they installed it.

I've contacted my bank and let them know what took place. Contact Hattie James at 719-308-**** or hattiejames64@***.com.

User's recommendation: They will charge you a year subscription even if you fill it out for monthly . I never saw 150 dollars anywhere on the page

Resolved: Cannot contact my heritage

Updated by user May 14, 2025

Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with apology. I responded to every myheritage ad I could find on social media.

I asked to have someone from customer service to call me ASAP. I received a response from an Instagram ad.

Original review Apr 28, 2025

We cannot get a hold of customer service. Their phone numbers have recordings to use their website and the Website doesn't work!

Original review Apr 02, 2025

I never spoke to anyone and got disconnected. This company is a SCAM.

I have been trying to resolve the issue since January 2025, with NO help. Just an ongoing run around.

I want to cancel my free subscription.

My original email was olinik56@***.com but it has been changed to olinikj@***.com.

Please cancel the subscription.

User's recommendation: The website is not easy to navigate. There are no clear way to get customer service. If you are a senior like me,you have to persist. I was lucky to have stumbled onto PissedConsumer. A communication from them got a speedy answer from My Heritage. Thank you, PissedConsumer!

Isralian disgusting methods. Money makingn scam!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

The company is located in Israel using non-european non-empathic inhumane disgusting agressive methods to steal money from us.

A early subscription is only possible to a IMHUMANE price.

Then they contact us, letting us know that we can get a special offer (using persuasive methods) so we feel special. Only to give a worse offer a +350$ LOLLOL

They have lost it!

And shouldn't be able to run a business.

Myheritage DO NOT reply with your robotic auto-generated answer. You should be ashamed of your self.

Current charge on account

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

We did not want to renew for another year of MyHeritage. We can't get a hold of customer service through phone, text, or email.

So we now have a charge of $129.00 from MyHeritage being taken from our checking account.

And right now was not a good time for this to happen. We want to get a hold of them and solve this problem.

Account payment

Contains 1 confidential file for company representatives

I have been asked to send you updated information regarding my card used for a purchase. The purchase was placed on December 29, 2024, and acknowledged by you.

Customer number 180356****. Payment was deducted from my account on December 30, 2024, in the amount of CAD $224.87 with a reference number 436073****25. I would appreciate it if you could check your records.

I am totally frustrated not being able to contact you via email or a proper telephone connection. I dislike your automated response system.
