Is iduk.co.uk legit or a scam?
Subscription cancellation form for IDENTITY UK that users report as the source of surprise £29.85 monthly charges they never authorised.
These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.
Analysis Summary
MT Intelligence
The page presents itself as a cancellation tool for iduk.co.uk identity protection subscriptions. Our research found repeated complaints on Reddit and review sites where people discovered unexpected recurring payments they did not authorise. The listed UK company exists but its official business codes are unrelated to identity protection or subscriptions. While one review site gave it a positive score, the volume of user reports about hidden billing outweighs that single assessment. The domain itself is over two years old and carries no malware detections, yet the pattern of complaints points to deceptive subscription practices.

Subscription trap / negative-option billing
This page combines a "free trial" or "$1 trial" pitch with auto-renew / rebill language — a classic negative-option billing trap.
- Do not interact with iduk.co.uk
Do not enter credentials, deposit money, download files, or install browser extensions from this site.
- Your card will be charged the full price after the trial
Most subscription traps bill the full amount ($49-$149) 14 days after sign-up, and every month thereafter. "Cancel anytime" often means you must call a foreign support line that's deliberately hard to reach.
- If you already signed up — call your bank today
Ask your bank to block future charges from the merchant and dispute any charges already made. Many banks will issue a new card number to prevent recurring billing. Save the confirmation email as evidence.
- OpenReport the billing scheme
Report to the FTC (reportfraud.ftc.gov) or your national consumer-protection body — subscription traps are specifically illegal in most jurisdictions when the auto-bill terms aren't clearly disclosed.
