SG*OriginalPlus subscription charge? - Apple Pay Wallet

I received an emailed receipt for £29.99 from SG Original Plus for a subscription i never ordered. my current account was debited £29.99. the transaction appears in my apple pay wallet but I have no idea how it happened. Does anyone have any suggestions? Somehow, this company had my email address, and the receipt they sent me by email specified that I had purchased a subscription for one month - with a start and end date. I have no idea where this all came from. I didn't seek out this company - I have no interest or knowledge in or of them, and I never gave any personal details to them at all - or purchase instructions. However, according to the payment history in my Apple Wallet, I payed £29.99 to them at 12.59 on 5th Oct but I wasn't even using my phone at this time. What is going on?

hi, I am the original poster on this thread. Your experience maps mine (same company name etc). In fact, what I hadn’t realised was that I had received an email a week earlier confirming my free trial subscription for a week, so when I got charged £29.99 it was the start of the paid subscription. I emailed SG original and received a detailed reply insisting that I could only have been charged any money if I had supplied all the information myself. In other words- it’s all my fault. But I have no knowledge or memory of doing such a thing and have never sought their services ever. I will put their reply on this thread

Well as SG Original Plus has made two attempts on convective days starting at £29.99 then £22.49 ( why the £7.50 drop in one day if they are not dropping the amount bit by bit to see what they can take out) on my wife’s Apple wallet and the Apple wallet contains no such subscription in it then how do you suggest it’s being done to so many of us??

Same here

i had to download a parking app last weekend at a London tube station, I paid with Apple pay

this weekend, I get scammed £29.99 by sg*origionalplus

I phoned first direct bank ( hsbc) and they are aware it’s a scam, now my old card is terminated and new one in the post tonite, loads of hassle to set up new account payments etc, first direct were spot on as usual.

even told me how it works


message to all, don’t download apps using QR scan links, it’s the new scammers favourite work around.


apple, you need to address this problem

Correction, it was not an app from apples site

sorry, it was NOT the paybyphone. App


after paying the car park on the above app, I needed to pay for the ULEZ, London clean air charge

i googled how to pay, and was taken to a site , scam site operated SG*origionalplus


but, I did not enter any details , and did not pay or offer to pay , and closed the page immediately once I realised it was not a uk site. And closed the page.


how did they manage to get my details and charge my account is a mystery to me


it was not as a result of an app from the App Store, sorry for earlier error.

I have just had my account debited £29.99 and I have received no information from this company and never heard of them before. My bank says it is a subscription but can do nothing about it. I saw the company is dissolved on companies register. I have no info on how to contact them. Could someone share their contact details with me so I can deal with them direct?

Yes.. the website is originalplus.co….( a film streaming site)……..you have to enter your email address to sign in….( have no idea where they originally got my email from)……. Then to your ‘profile’…then to ‘manage account’…… where you can then cancel your subscription. Had to try several attempts but got there in the end. See my screenshot above.

i am assuming and hoping I am now genuinely unsubscribed…. Not sure now if you’re saying company is dissolved?!

after reading previous threads there is some connection in my case as it happened with ‘Vinted’ and ‘Apple Pay’

This happened to me too. What is it while you are completing some signing on an app it pops up and you think you are signing up for the app but actually you end up signing up for the one plus max. It's a scam as it pops up as an advertising while you are downloading something or completing an app online. Go on to their home page and cancel it. Also report to trading standards as many people like myself fell for it when we really don't have any intention to sign up for movie/entertainment.
