      On November 7, ************************** concerning an expiring security certificate on my website. He led me to believe that they were calling on behalf of my security certificate provider ********. He then provided what is an obviously temporary certificate claimed it was from ********. The agent agreed to call me on Friday November 22 2024 but he never called concerning the certificate. However on Monday on Nov. 25, 2024 my clients called stating that the website was down. When I called SSLGuru they said yes they had a meeting and they revoked my certificate and cancelled the order. I then contacted Digicert (who told me how SSLGuru operates with them) and they Digicert worked with me to provide a certificate to bring the site back online. I thought this was the end of the matter however on Saturday Nov. 30, 2024 SSLGuru charged my card $299, for a certificate that was revoked and an order that was cancelled. He claimed the certificate was a legitimate certificate affiliated to my site however this could not be true as you have to do a validation with Digicert for a valid certificate to be issued, and I was the one who did the validation on Nov. 25, 2024 with a ******** agent prior to ******** issuing me a certificate directly which I paid Digicert for. The ******** agent also informed me that the certificate they provided to me was the only certificate created for my site active on their system. I called the company (SSLGuru) on Monday Dec. 2, 2024 and demanded a refund the agent proceeded to tell me about some 14 day refund policy which is foolishness as the certificate that he claimed they provided and revoked has a thirty day refund period. And he rudely and dismissively told me to contact sales for a refund (considering that he is a sales **** and hanged up the phone. I even opened a ticket on their site and requested a cancellation and they have not responded to either. I want a refund of my money and all my banking information removed from their site.

      Hi ****,

       

      Your support ticket regarding the refund with has been in progress which you can see in your account. Since we are now receiving this complaint, I went ahead and expedited the refund and pushed it through, even though it was just a matter of time for our team to get to your ticket.

      I have been charged $129 twice for SSL certificates I did not order, authorize or want. I am requesting a refund now totaling $258 for charges from both October 18, 2023 and July 16 2024. I had requested a refund and account closure following the initial unwanted charge in October for a product not scheduled to renew until January. I had not provided updated credit card information as requested by SSL Guru 6 times by email because I did not want the product renewed. My refund was not processed. After many calls and emails and receiving verbal agreement from ******************* that they would provide a refund of the initial charge that was never received, I reported the original $129 issue to the BBB. At this point SSL Guru stated they would provide a refund if I closed the BBB complaint. A refund was still not issued. SSL Guru then charged me again on 7-16-2024 on the same account that I had requested closed, reported to the BBB, and is showing as closed on the SSL Guru client website. I have also attached the cancellation confirmation e-mail that I received from SSL Guru dated November 15th of 2023. I have contacted SSL Guru directly, by phone, by e-mail, and I have attempted to submit through their webform contact submission process, which does not function. I have still not received a refund for either charge. I'm again requesting my refund, now totaling $258 after having attempted to resolve this situation multiple times and multiple ways for over the last 2 years.

      On June 13, 2024, I received a call from **** with SSL Guru saying that I needed to update my SSL security on my website because currently its showing that my website is not secure. I said that I have my SSL through GoDaddy and I thought that it auto renew in June 2024. **** said he's with SSL Guru and they take care of GoDaddy's SSL Certificates and my site is currently not secure and I need to update with him. SSL Guru charged me $559 for 5 years of "security". When I told my IT person what happened, he advised me that I had probably been frauded. When I looked at my emails from GoDaddy, sure enough. I was auto renewed through ******* on June 13, and I have a 3-year commitment with them through June 2025, but SSL Guru signed me up for their service (not GoDaddy) on June 14, 2024 for 5 years. Now why if they are with GoDaddy would they sign me up for a separate SSL security from *******? My emails about my SSL security with GoDaddy come directly from GoDaddy and not SSL Guru. And this is what is says online about their affiliation, "******** is not affiliated with *******. They are separate entities providing SSL certificates and related services." I disputed this charge with my credit card company and they said that SSL Guru sent them an 11 page letter on why this charge is legit. I am currently putting together a case against SSL Guru with my credit card company and contacting the Attorney General and I have attached documentation to this complaint. Notice that the address on my invoice from SSL Guru is not even my address. I don't know whose address it is - they obviously did not take my zip code with the credit card information.

      On July 12, 2024, an *** Guru called rep me from ************ and represented themselves as being affiliated with GoDaddy and mentioned that my website's *** certificate was expiring. They said they were handling the *** certificates for GoDaddy and I needed to renew. I knew I had "auto renewal" enabled on my account but because I've had a card issue in the past, I just assumed it was a card issue again so I proceeded with the fraudulent transaction, I later discovered that *** Guru misrepresented themselves because I got notified that my certificate which had auto-renewed got canceled. I'd like a FULL REFUND IMMEDIATELY, and I want *** Guru to remove my billing information from their systems.

      I received a call from *********************** with SSL GURU who stated that they provide the security certificate for one of my websites and that it had expired and no longer worked. They stated that I needed to pay $99 to renew it for a year. I checked my website and it indeed no longer had security so I paid it. They sent the payment through to my bank. Then *********************** called back trying to get me to log into my website and give him more information. By that time, I was suspicious and would not do it. I contacted my webhost and they said SSL Guru DOES NOT provide my certificate and in fact someone had definitely altered my site so that it had no security. I had to pay them $85 to reinstall my certificate and restore the security.

      Hi *******,

      We do not have access to your site to uninstall/install security certificates. Only being logged into the backend of the website can accomplish this. Our sales team contacted you for the ssl certificate renewal because your site was already down with an expired certificate on it, which means your website host dropped the ball on the renewal. We have not received any support ticket or contact from you regarding this however, if you would like to cancel and get a refund we are more than happy to do so. I went ahead and cancelled your account and refunded the invoice

      Complaint: 21965221

      I am rejecting this response because the only reason that the business refunded my money is that my Bank filed a protest of the charge with the **************** My webhost had JUST RENEWED my certificate 30 days before this incident and advised me on the day this company called me that the newly installed certificate had been damaged because my site effectively had been hacked.  Therefore, the business's response to my complaint here is false and they should NOT get away with falsely accusing my webhost of "dropping the ball" which they had not done.  It seems apparent to me that this business hacked my site.  They definitely identified themselves to me as providing the certificate for my site and stated that my renewal certificate TO THEM was overdue.  Based upon my searches on the internet, they appear to be doing this type of thing to other people.  After they called me and someone (I believe them) hacked into my site, I had to pay my webhost $85 to re-install the annual certificate that they had just installed in June, several weeks before this apparent hacking incident.  ************ is falsely stating that my certificate had expired, falsely denying that they told me THEY were the provider of my certificate (which they did tell me but were not) and all of this suggest it was THEY who hacked my site.  I don't think they should get away with any of this.  

      Sincerely,

      What a sketchy company!My client has had an SSL through them for 3-4 years and they have CONSTANTLY been charged months early, double billed, and my submitted "support tickets" were a complete joke...ALL of them went completely ignored except one that I had to call and follow up with a 46 minute phone call, of which I will have to make another one this morning telling them the client is going with another vendor. We can't remove the CC card on file with them without yet another painful 30+ minute call to them. Don't go with these guys, awful business practices!!!

      Complaint: 21810498

      I am rejecting this response because:

      While my client did receive a refund I would like my complaint to remain a public record.

      For three years this company double billed for services and charged 3-4 months before the scheduled billing dates.

      This incurred a series of phone calls, support ticket submissions (that were consistently ignored), and emails.

      I want others that are considering using this company to realize what they may be in for.

      The only communications that were consistent with them were emails informing me that we were about to be billed (ALWAYS 3-4 MONTHS EARLY BTW).

      Hi *******,

      I am a little confused as to why we are getting this complaint. I just pulled up your account and can see that your refund request went through and the invoice was refunded back to you well over a month ago. Please double check your bank statements to find the refund as it was already processed by us and we also emailed you confirmation. Thank you!

      I was charged $159 on my credit card by this company after our office repeatedly told them that we no longer wanted their service. (SSL for our website) Since that time, we have been told on several occasions that I would receive a refund shortly. We are also unable to remove our credit card information from their website. It is definitely not a trusted company.

      *** Guru represented themselves as affiliated with GoDaddy with whom I do most of my website registration, hosting and security. They said they were handling the *** certificates for GoDaddy and I needed to renew. Following the first term of the *** certificate, I had determined that *** Guru had misrepresented themselves and were not affiliated with GoDaddy. I have moved my *** certificate back to GoDaddy and canceled it with *** Guru. The *** certificate with *** Guru did not expire until January, however I was charged for the renewal in October. I have called and emailed multiple times to get a refund and have not been reimbursed to date for an *** certificate I never used. Based on the records here, I am not alone in this situation. I am reporting them here as I believe it's the only way I will get my purchase refunded.
