Personality Test Scam: How a $2 Trial Turned Into Monthly Charges (And How I Stopped It)


■ Introduction

I only intended to try a cheap personality test.

It cost just a few dollars.

But what happened next was completely unexpected.

I started getting charged around $30 per month — multiple times — from different companies.

This is my real experience and how I am currently dealing with it.


■ What Happened

At first, I used a simple personality test service.

After that, I noticed recurring charges from:

  • PersonalityLab
  • PersonalityOS
  • MyPersonality
  • WWPersonalityTest

Each charge was around $27–30.

At first glance, they looked like different companies.

But the timing and amounts were almost identical.


■ The Trap Structure

This is a very common pattern:

  • Low-cost entry ($1–$2 trial)
  • Automatically converted to subscription
  • Multiple brands charging the same card
  • Difficult or unclear cancellation

In other words, it’s designed to be confusing.


■ The Damage

In my case:

  • Around $30 per charge
  • Multiple services

👉 Result: Over $100 per month


■ What I Did

I took the following steps:

  1. Contacted support via email
  2. Requested cancellation
  3. Requested refunds
  4. Contacted my credit card company

So far:

👉 One service has already refunded me


■ Important Point

Even if:

  • You can’t log in
  • You don’t know the registered email

👉 They can still identify your account using your card details


■ The Most Powerful Action

The strongest solution is:

👉 Contact your credit card company and request a chargeback


■ Conclusion

  • Be careful with cheap online tests
  • Many overseas services use hidden subscriptions
  • Multiple charges often come from related companies

Most importantly:

👉 Act immediately if you notice something strange
