Stop wasting your time complaining on review sites (tho reviews do help others avoid the fraudsters at Getaround). Go to https://www.bbb.org/file-a-complaint/1116-******* and file your complaint for whatever money taking, account screwing, genuinely illegal activity Getaround staff has done.
For my part, literally every other rental, I have to keep an eye on my inbox for an email stating Getaround has taken more money from my account for something obviously false and easily disproven. I have wasted hours EACH TIME hunting down photos that are already documented in the app and resending them to whichever incompetent, condescending, miserable employee has notified me they took more money from me. They have full, unmitigated access to your funds and can charge, without any notice or prior inquiry, literally as much money as they see fit for anything from a "faulty" fuel readout to an owner trying to pass off a ticket they received prior to me renting the car as being my fault. That latter thing happened despite full documentation on the rental check-in that the ticket was on the car prior to me renting it.
Getaround has to be begged or cajoled into refunding your money and sometimes does not remit the full amount (fraud). Never once have I received any kind of credit to my account or even an assurance they will be more diligent in the future. When using Getaround, be prepared to put in a lot of extra work and documentation + be sure your payment method has at least 2x your total trip rental available so they don't overdraft your account with the extra charges.

All one needs do is visit https://themakerdepot.com/about/ to see all the red flags of a scam site. The verbiage reads like it was all plugged into Google Translate, except that should have at least caught the multiple, easily noticeable misspellings, including at one misspelling of their own company/website. This site also has a Reddit account that spams that site with fake review videos of other spam sites, supposedly "proving 100%" each site is definitely totally completely real.
This is a fishing site posing as a trusted review site in order to validate its fishing sites. It's almost as smart as it is vile.
It even pretends to negatively review actual scam sites but clicking on one of those links opens a page literally filled with ads designed to look like they're saying you can recover your money if you were scammed. The rest of the text was just poorly copied/pasted from a legitimate review site.
One last thing, the only other review on here is written with the same disconcertingly obviously fake verbiage as the site itself/all the other scam sites of its nature.

So many reviews to the tune of "I thought the deal was too good to be true and it was." Huh, no kiddin'? Have literally any of these people heard of cancelling a purchase? This site is obviously a scam and unless you're a senior citizen with cataracts, you should feel bad for not realizing it as soon as you saw the site.
