I purchased a spring assisted knife on their site for supposedly the cost of postage, or $9.95. Many companies do this to get you looking at their other products. In this case, after explaining a bit about the knife on their site they had a "buy now" type button which I clicked on and then completed the transaction. Little did I know, that below the page I was looking at, was more that made me liable (according to them) for a monthly fee of $57 for their Academy online, services which I never used or thought this sale had anything with which to do.
After an incursion the other day into my bank account by thieves online, I looked over the past purchases to find other suspect charges and found "Science of Skill" pilfering $57 from my account. I immediately called them and they explained I had signed up for this service with the purchase of the knife. I told them I had no knowledge of this and did not agree to this. The girl let me know that I had already paid 6 months worth of fees, totaling $342! I complained and requested a refund, but only received on month's worth. After more complaining by email. I received one other month and was told no more. I have made complaints now through the BBB of Canton and the Ohio Attorney General's office and I am posting this info on their own Youtube videos. I want others to know of their deceptive business practices to beware of this company. I will continue to fight to get all my money back.
Looks like I go taken on this sham . Paid $19.95 for a knife but I am getting hit fo $6.00 five days in a row. I have no idea what for.
Same deal, wish I had payed more attention to my CC statements. Got taken for $57 for two months consecutively for a service I didn't even know I signed up for. Wish I had done more research on this company. Their knives are nice but they are not that nice for the scammed charges for two months after. We have gotten so used to seen a but of meaningless drivel on online purchase agreements we don't always notice this sort of scam anymore. Time to start reading all that crap again. Buyer beware. There are companies out there who off great deals on firs time produce buys or seasonal special this company is not one of them they will take you for lost of $$$ if you are not paying attention. Please do not buy from this company. I'm all for buying American, but this company is deceptive. Buyer Beware.
Same with me! I had no idea my credit card was being billed $6 per day for months on end. I’ve asked for credit but will probably get scammed like other folks. Hopeful Two, please list the BBB mailing address in Canton, OH & if you know, the Attorney General’s mailing address or telephone number so I can add my name to an already exhaustive list of customers who have been scammed! Thanks.

Same thing going on with me . I thought my husband would like a knife- they sent a cheap one and some para cord .it’s was supposed to be free, just shipping of $9.95 -3 weeks later I look and I have 6 charges of $6.00 & $4.00 and then the following weekend they charged an additional $6&4 and I locked the card .now I can’t get in touch on the phone they are never available … I am in contact with BBB in Canton and I’m going to get in touch with Attorney General -this kind of secret scamming has got to stop ! I work too hard for companies to just randomly take !
I'm mad! They have scammed me out of hundreds of dollars at $57.00 each! I don't even know what I bought! This "company" needs to be prosecuted! Don't let them get away with this! They charged my card!
I just called them and they are supposed to take this off my charge card. What a scam.
Same for me supposedly all I had to pay was shipping and handling for a knife that wasn’t even worth the $10 I paid for it to be shipped then they scammed me out of $57 . Freaking crooks
These people are a rip off company; Now that I'm reading the reviews; remember that I bought a knife a few months ago; just notice the charge of $57.00 this month (January) and started tracing these charges back to October, Thiefs rateros hijos de la gran %$#@^)
This is a SCAM.
I did find THIS PAGE, that MIGHT help you stop the payments. I don't know. I called them AND I Emailed them Tonight. Said they closed. I'll call them again tomorrow. Hopefully this will end the crap.

I hadn't even bought anything from them until recently but have been charged for months now don't understand how or why.
I like most was charged $57 per for months on my old credit card. I was enlightened by my credit card company to update my new credit card number for this company.
I have no idea what this company does or supplies. I had to GOOGLE THIS COMPANY, to see what services they provide.
I called them. They were closed. I then emailed them. Waiting for a response.
People need to realize complaining to the BBB does absolutely nothing if the business is not a member of the BBB. I been having the same charges. I am disputing this charge and all the subsequent charges which I think I’ve been paying for a year now! Scammers!’
Well this place has started taking 6.50 a day out of my account for some reason that I sure as hell didn't authorize. I tried to call during business hours but no one would answer the phone. I fell for the free knife deal and just pay S&H cost. Well i assume there was some hidden agenda, and now I know. I left them a voicemail and got a response telling me my 57.00 would be put back into my account and no more charges would take place but they turned right around and took the 6,95 out again. I'm going to keep raisin hell and then let my attorney handle their ripoff. They are nothing more then a [censored]ing scam company and suck people in by offering the cheap assed knives.
I cannot get this company to stop charging me $57 a month for absolutely nothing. I bought a damn $10 knife and nothing else. I signed up for nothing else they refuse to stop charging me.
I’ve emailed them and I’ve left messages for them and they keep charging me $57 a month. What in the actual hell? This is [censored].
Has anyone who has had the $57 charge from Science Of Skill also had one from Survival Offers also from OH? I contacted my credit card co., right away with the Science of Skill charge, had my account suspended and card cancelled last week, yet today I find a $57 charge from Survival Offers so I figure it is the same boneheads.
