  They have deceived the customer by putting him under the trap of "Once the funds in your balance are used, the system will pause to ask if you want to continue your reading.", but no such prompts ever happened and they billed the customer by giving him fake perception and I have shared video with them proving the same that no response ever came, and now Keen.com has restored to nonresponse, a new way of doing harassment and unfair business and fooling customers who comes to your website under distress and resorting to embezzlement. They have also disabled my a/c and has stopped responding. This is a clear case of trapping customer and then charge him unfairly.

  We apologize for the confusion with our billing system. It appears that you selected our Seamless Pay billing option before you began your chat. Selecting this option allows you to continue your conversation for your desired duration without pausing to add funds. Unfortunately, once funds have been used towards a reading, the advisor is immediately credited so were unable to issue a refund back to the original form of payment.

  I removed my card from my keen.com account last week Today my card was charged $2933.85.A user account can only add $1000 *** at a time. It would seem they were hacked. They said they would return my call but never did.

  I found unexplained PayPal charges to my account to Purple Garden, a subsidiary of this company. I spent a month asking their "Trust" team to follow up on the following message:"I have seen some unauthorized payments on my PayPal account. Can you please remove these charges, I did not permit these payments. "After following up for more information, with no response for weeks, I received a message that did not offer any transparent information about the investigation, nor engage with me respectfully. Rather the company is more suspicious with its vague process, unclear explanation, and retaliatory response. I am consulting a lawyer. This kind of bad-faith treatment and response ought to be documented. The message from Purple Garden is: "This is a message from the Purple Garden ************** team. We have concluded our investigation of the disputed transactions from your PayPal account. We found no evidence that these charges were fraudulent or incorrectly billed. Due to this false claim, we have blocked your PayPal from further use on Purple Garden and disabled your account.. We respectfully ask that you cease using Purple Garden and all services powered by Ingenio."

  Hi there. We have investigated these claims, both at the time customer contacted us, and again after receiving this complaint. Our *************** has found no evidence of fraudulent activity, based on the information provided by the customer within 5 psychic chat readings, along with device and IP identification. This appears to be a case of buyer's remorse / friendly fraud, so refunds for the purchases were not offered. The customer's account was closed, per our policy.

  I have been trying on several attempts to contact ******* team over the past six months, which unfortunately have not replied any response. Despite multiple emails and attempts to connect via calls, I have not received any acknowledgment or assistance.The reason for my persistent attempts to reach out is due to unauthorized charges on my card associated with your services. I have made numerous efforts to resolve this issue directly with *******, but the lack of response has left me deeply concerned and frustrated.It is crucial to emphasize that these charges were not authorized by me, and I firmly believe they are fraudulent. I have taken the necessary steps with my financial institution to dispute these charges, but it is imperative that ******* acknowledges this situation officially and cooperates in addressing this matter promptly.I have been asking for their attention and a swift resolution to rectify these unauthorized charges on my account. Everytime I try calling them the number is unreachable. I have been charged over $3000 and they have not given me any resolution. I have reached out to my bank and the bank has told me to speak to the company directly.

  Keen psychics hires fraudulent providers but promotes Accurate Psychic Readings by a Keen Advisor from Trusted, Accurate Psychics. I've spent over $100,000 receiving services from them in hopes for true spiritual enlightenment but I was frequently mislead. When sharing honest feedback about readings to advisors I'd be bullied, harassed, and even threatened. This company does very little to protect their customers health or safety in these circumstances. As a result of using psychic services with keen I have endured a great deal of psychological, emotional, and mental distress. They do not vet their advisors to ensure accuracy of services and they do not do any kind of quality control, and I know this because I was a provider myself and was hired to the platform but did not have to prove my abilities. As a psychic myself, I should have trusted myself however this can be a dark readers dream come true as they prey on psychological vulnerabilities. As a customer on this platform, I have been in contact with readers who were drunk, abusive, sleeping, manipulative, liars and gaslighters. This platform is a scam and does more damage than good. I am seeking refunds for all services received.

  I have had multiple Psychic readings and they charge hefty amounts per minute. They mention on their website about guranteed satisfaction but they don't return ********'s money after a complaint is raised. They don't have any customer support number or email. They are scamming people.

  On 10/20/2023, I saw an advertisement for Keen on ******** guaranteeing a 10 minute reading session for $1.99. I decided to entertain this, as I feel somewhat lost in life. Once I created an account and paid $2.00, the promotion then changed to 5 mins for $1.99. After being connected with the medium for only 2-3 mins, I was disconnected mid-conversation and then charged $2.99. Though this is a small amount, the fact that they deceived me with their pricing and time guarantee (10 minutes guaranteed and then switching it to 5 minutes), and not even meeting the 5 minutes, is a clear violation of the law.

  Business response

  10/24/2023

  Hello, we are so sorry to hear that you did not receive the Get 10 minutes for $1.99! promotion. Please know that in order to receive this promotion, you must click the link in the advertisement to create your account. If you do not follow these steps, then you may receive one of our other new customer offers, Get 5 minutes for $1.00 or First 3 Minutes Free. 

  Regarding the length of your call, on our end it appears that your conversation lasted for five minutes and then ended when you declined to add additional funds. That said, we regret any confusion and after you previously contacted us, we added a courtesy credit to your account to allow you more time to speak to an advisor. If you have any further questions, we invite you to contact us directly using our customer support form.

  They did not have authorization to charge my card for whatever amount they deemed under ************. I was taken advantage of. I called they offered ************************************************************** process understood I did not receive the services. I explained my dissatisfaction and they said they already paid the advisor and this her agreed rate with them. I told her that I was not advise and the call was repetitive and carrying on as a way to increase charges. My card was fraudulently charged on 10/9 ***** ***** ***** *****

  Business response

  10/12/2023

  Hello, we apologize for any confusion about the billing for your most recent call. At the beginning of the call, you agreed to the advisors rate and selected our ************ option, which allows you to have your conversation without interruption to add more funds. When using ************, **** places authorization holds in 10-minute increments during your conversation. Any unused holds will be released back to your payment method immediately after your conversation has ended, however, it may take up to 5 days for your bank statement to reflect the final charges. 

  We understand you were not satisfied with your call, which is why our team offered to provide you credit as a courtesy. We are not able to refund already spent funds, as they are transferred to your advisor immediately following the call. In the future, if you are on a call and feel the advisor is not being economical with your time, we encourage you to end the call immediately and contact our team for assistance using this form. 

  We hope this information helps clarify, and we appreciate your feedback.
