I enrolled for a free 7 day trial with Nutracheck uk.
My Google.com page now only has American info. Tried to get back unsuccessfully to uk site.
Should I delete my calorie counting site as it looks like my phone has been hacked.
Anyone experienced this?
I don't bank online by the way!!

Have you given any bank details to this website? If you have, and you are concerned about it being a scam, I suggest you ring your bank's fraud department immediately.

I use Nutracheck they dont ask for any payment details your device that you have the app loaded to has to have the ability to make card payments.
Nutracheck is a UK based company and my app has all UK foods within it. Never seen the US version although I believe there is one.
I pay around £23.99 for a whole years subscription.

Thanks. No bank details given.
I keep getting American details on Google search and couldn't get rid of it. I've now gone incognito and deleted the CC app. 🤞

I signed up for one of these and they took unauthorised payments from my bank- thankfully only small amounts.

I simply rang the bank and they stopped any further payments.

I haven't received any communications from the company since.

I’ve used Nutracheck with great success. Reached my target weight in July 2024 and remained with them in order to maintain it.
Never a problem, same details as rosie1959. Really pleased with every aspect of it.
