    On October 3rd, 2022 I purchased a three year subscription of MyCleanID identity theft protection for $212.43.
    One of their support agents remotely accessed my computer and activated my account even though I specifically told them I didn't want them to have access and that I was perfectly capable of activating it myself. Also, every email I have received from them has gone into my spam folder. Nothing I have experienced so far leads me to believe I can trust this company. I have requested a refund of my subscription multiple times through email, live chat, and over the phone. I received a single reply through an email saying that they were sorry to hear I wished to cancel and that I would have to contact them by phone. Every time I've tried through live chat the chat gets disconnected and when I call I get put on hold and ultimately disconnected.

BBB Business Profiles are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment. BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.

When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.

As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
