WARNING: My Experience with Aadam Akram & Growth Commerce Ltd I want to publicly share my experience with Growth Commerce Ltd, operated by Aadam Akram, so others can make informed decisions. I joined in November 2024, while I was still a student living in the UK. Prior to signing up, Aadam persistently messaged me on Instagram, asking for a £50 deposit to secure my spot. After I explained my financial limitations as a student, he agreed to let me start with £1,000. Only now, after reading countless other reviews, have I realised this is their pattern — they extract whatever amount they can from each individual. After I posted about my experience in a review, the team pressured me to take it down in exchange for a partial refund — which they never delivered. When I refused to stay silent, they threatened me with defamation claims. As a young woman and student, I felt intimidated and deleted my review out of fear. Aadam even emailed me personally, claiming it was a "legal warning" — just for posting the truth. Let’s be clear: Their service wasn’t worth even £100. The customer care was appalling. I was passed around from person to person — Darwin, Sajid, Agit, Aadam — each contradicting the other, none offering real support. It became clear that deception is built into their business model. They never disclosed the ongoing monthly fees — which they continue to charge regardless of whether your store is making money. It turns out their business relies heavily on these hidden subscription charges, from which they earn commissions. I had a serious medical condition during this time and needed urgent surgery. When I asked for my money back to help cover costs, they showed zero empathy. Instead of offering assistance, they told me to seek emergency help while they stalled and misled me further. The constant stress delayed my surgery, all while they continued to lie. It was Ramadan, and I was in pain — their treatment of me was absolutely inhumane. At one point, they acted as if they were running a major operation, telling me things were “under process,” when in reality, they have no actual systems in place. What they are truly running is the Ministry of Scam and Lies. Since I’ve relocated outside the UK, I am no longer intimidated by their legal threats. I have no properties or ties in the UK, and they’re welcome to pursue whatever false legal action they like. I have saved every call, chat, email, and voice message as proof. And now, I’m speaking up again — loudly and clearly. They even accused me of posting negative reviews before I joined, which is laughable — how could I review something I hadn’t experienced yet? This was just another scare tactic to silence me. Their Trustpilot and website reviews are fabricated, bought through platforms like Reviews io website. These reviews are paid for to create a false image of their business. Meanwhile, real voices like mine — and those of many others — have been ignored, threatened, and silenced. I am now preparing to report Aadam Akram to US/UK and UAE legal authorities (as he is reportedly residing there), and I urge every victim to do the same. Report your cases to each of the Cybercrime and Commercial Fraud departments, and consider sharing your stories with BBC News, Gulf News, and other press outlets. If you're reading this and have been affected, know this: You are not alone. These people use intimidation to keep victims silent — but that ends here. If you’ve been scammed, speak up. The more voices, the stronger our case. If someone uploads genuine review they threaten them for defamation and whoever posts fake reviews to get their partial refund they consider that real they asked me to post fake 5 star review to get my partial refund. And now even not sending because I didn't upload that. they sent me wrong contract. Which same they sent to other victims of 13k payment 5k payment They didn't sent me any contract later on they sent Me wrong contract they do not even know what they're doing when I said I'll post this in videos they apologised that we,sent wrong contract How could one be so irresponsible to send someone else's contract to other person And provided same services in different prices. They are scammers just grabbed money from people. And threatened me when I was sick Furthermore they apologised after .months to provide me course when my store is closed now they ll say everything was clear They kept the monthly subscription thing hidden they kept lying. They are actually getting commission from our monthly subscription otherwise they don't have knowledge and don't know anything
