I had an extremely disappointing experience with Academy Leaders, an online education platform that engages in deceptive marketing, hidden charges, and refusal to honor refunds.What Happened:1. False Advertising & Hidden Costs: The course was advertised at ₹299, but after payment, I was informed that additional software was mandatory. In total, I ended up paying ₹8,166, which was never disclosed upfront.2. Fake & Non-Functional Course Material: The materials provided were hollow, full of damaged files, fake software keys, and broken links leading to non-existent web pages. The course content was inaccessible despite full payment.3. Scam Refund Policy: Their website claimed a 30-day money-back guarantee, but my refund request was denied. They introduced hidden terms and conditions after payment, which were never available before purchasing.4. Unclear Pricing & Overcharging: I was asked to pay ₹849 for software but was misled into paying ₹869. They refused to refund the excess amount or adjust it.5. No Customer Support & Ignored Complaints: Their support team ignored my emails and messages.They falsely claimed that all instructions were sent via email—no such email was ever received.Final Verdict: This company appears to be a fraudulent operation, taking advantage of unsuspecting learners with misleading pricing, fake software, and worthless course content.Avoid Academy Leaders at all costs! If you've had a similar experience, report them to consumer protection authorities.Note: The only other positive review/s regarding this company is from their own employee/s (i.e. they got an incentive to write it so it's fake). Their support team ghosted me when I showed proof of emails without promised products despite the payment. And under the review, show fake concern to discredit real user experience. (Ongoing deceptive practices). Worst experience ever.Check genuine reviews written by real customers on the Consumer Complaints Forum and Scamadviser to learn more about the covert fraud this company has been practising. Protect yourself. Update: Official cybercrime complaint against them has been reported already.
