High-risk IQ-test subscription with repeated reports of unexpected recurring charges
myIQ offers a priced IQ-testing service, but multiple customer reports describe a small initial payment followed by recurring charges of about $29.99 or £30. The site's terms also say it does not usually provide a standard refund program and considers refunds individually at its discretion. These billing and refund concerns outweigh the clean technical checks.

Investigation Brief
myIQ offers a priced IQ-testing service, but multiple customer reports describe a small initial payment followed by recurring charges of about $29.99 or £30. The site's terms also say it does not usually provide a standard refund program and considers refunds individually at its discretion. These billing and refund concerns outweigh the clean technical checks.
The main concern is the paid subscription model
The site has a Pricing page, and independent complaint records consistently describe paying a small amount for an IQ report before later being billed monthly. Reported examples include an initial $1 payment followed by $29.99 and an allegedly one-time purchase followed by two $30 monthly charges.
The site's own terms state that it does not usually operate a standard refund program and that refund reviews are discretionary and handled case by case, increasing the practical risk if a visitor disputes a charge.
Technical checks are clean, but they do not resolve the billing risk
The saved checks found no threat warning, no malicious or suspicious detections across 92 engines, and a valid encrypted connection. This reduces concern about malware or an immediately dangerous connection, but it does not evaluate subscription disclosure or refund practices.
The site publishes an email address on its own domain and a phone number, which are positive contact signals, though they do not outweigh the documented billing complaints and restrictive refund language.
Why the score is 38
Multiple customer accounts report that a small initial IQ-report payment was followed by recurring monthly charges of approximately $29.99 or £30. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

If this is a scam — what it means for you
What may happen after purchasing an IQ result
A visitor who makes the small initial payment for an IQ report may later face recurring monthly charges, according to multiple customer accounts.
If this is a scam, how it works
The evidence-backed path
Each stage below is preserved from the grounded analysis and linked to saved evidence.
One account describes a $1 IQ-report payment followed by a $29.99 automated card charge seven business days later; another describes two subsequent $30 monthly charges.
If the visitor seeks a refund, the published terms provide no standard refund program and leave any review to the site's discretion on a case-by-case basis.
Avoid purchasing unless the checkout clearly states the full recurring price and renewal schedule. If you proceed, save the checkout terms, monitor your statement, and cancel promptly if the service does not match what was presented.

- BBB Scam Trackeropen
"myIQ.com charged $1.00 USD for an IQ report, which I knowingly paid for. Then, I received an automated charge on my credit card for $29.99 USD (7) business days later. Upon reviews on Reddit, this company intentionally uses deceptive UI and language in their payment process to make the user misunderstand terms of payment and "subscription" service"
- BBB Scam Trackeropen
"I made a purchase that was presented as a one-time charge. After completing the payment, I later discovered that it was actually a monthly subscription. As a result, I was charged $30 twice, for a total of $60, with one $30 charge occurring each month."

High-risk IQ-test subscription with repeated reports of unexpected recurring charges

The site's terms also say it does not usually provide a standard refund program and considers refunds individually at its discretion. These billing and refund concerns outweigh the clean technical checks.
