Bought the pod scale. Actually not bad, one of the few scales that will do a fresh impedance scan each time (most others don't). I then got an email offering $50 credit to answer their survey. I did the survey, gave generally positive feedback, then got an email about the $50 credit. BUT, to actually get the $50 I had to do - ironically - a Trustpilot review for them!
Nowhere did it say anything about doing a review for getting the $50. They ADDED that afterwards. And THIS is why you see so many 5-star reviews here. I, however, refused the extortion and sent a demand email, saying the $50 was fraudulent. They ignored me.
So, I researched Hume a bit, having a background in legal research. These people are complete scam artists. One YouTuber proved that their "doctors" and "experts" featured on their site were STOCK IMAGES. Their Hume Band is a cheap Chinese band sold on Alibaba for $20 (they charge $250).
Even their emails - which they DELUGE you with - are a scam: when you go to unsubscribe, the "unsubscribe" button is greyed out, as if it's inactive. This almost fooled me, which obviously was their intent. It's actually active, they are hoping you don't have the time to figure out why the button is "inactive" and give up.
All of this, to me, shows that they plan to scam as many people as they can, then shut down.
In addition to all this, they are violating Trustpilot's terms by adding that "must leave a review to actually get $50" ploy:
"Trustpilot doesn’t allow companies to offer payments or benefits in exchange for leaving a review." - Trustpilot
