Hello,
Yes! I confirm!! Jamba is a phone scam!!
I also downloaded the product in question using GPS... and it shows me two guys kissing! My *** yes!
However, I saw another advertisement on TV the other day for the Fuel gauge that changes according to your battery level, quite convincing =), but it does NOT WORK at all!! It’s just a simple JPEG image and they’re still trying to contradict me by claiming it’s a defect in my phone (LG Shine, which is listed on their site among the phones that can have the product!).
Moreover, I am a computer scientist and I know, of course, what a JPEG image is and what an ANIMATED image (GIF format) is!!!
You bunch of dirty SCAMMERS, let everyone know the truth about JAMBA! Bankrupt yourselves!

You're an IT professional and you get fooled by an ad for a GPS on your phone???
You should know that it's illegal and completely impossible to track a phone without going through the police and the operator... it's a bit like if eMule was advertising on TV...
And with all the ads like "to find out if you'll find your soulmate, send soulmate to 81718," they won't hesitate...
In short, a legal scam...
I'm sorry to say this, but for an IT professional, you seem a bit stupid to me... =/
Another example is Jamba's scanner... you have to be an idiot to think that X-rays can pass through the lens of your mobile camera... =/
Anyway, be careful with this kind of legal scam, read the terms and conditions of use of the product well before paying 3€ for nothing... -
Scams are well-known!
The best way to avoid getting ripped off is to try to understand how what you are buying is made; this applies to all items. Of course, it's not about guessing how everything you buy works, but ask yourself the question, "How could they have made this, and how could it be used beyond the uses presented to me?!"
For the GPS tracker, you'll end up realizing that it would be possible to know, in real-time, where Obama is, which for security reasons is not feasible... It would also mean that the police could immediately know where the accomplices of an arrested person are, yet the ETA is still active.
As for the X-ray scanner, keep in mind that even the simplest x-ray costs a fortune (covered, sure, but someone always ends up paying heavily), so if really 3€ was enough, don’t you think doctors would have the same system instead of those incredibly bulky and expensive machines that require patients (often already sick) to travel to those machines?!
Another way to avoid scams for mobile phones is to refrain from downloading from the internet: stay on the WAP platform of the company with which you paid for the subscription; most of the time, the games or ringtones and logos offered are not scams in the sense we mean here, meaning they work without having to check if your phone is the right model and has the correct serial number like some other internet download platforms require (even though the phone's serial number doesn't change anything, it's just a way for them to avoid the lawsuits that would come their way!). The only scams that exist on the download platforms of your telecommunications providers are overcharging, but that's entirely personal; for me, 3€ for a ringtone or a mobile game that is completed in 10 minutes is a trap; for others, who enjoy these games (and I don’t blame them, it’s a matter of taste), it won’t be.
In short, in case of doubt, don't hesitate to type the name of the company or product into search engines, and if the results displayed say "buy the product <thing>", add the word "scam" to your search, and you'll know in seconds if you're about to get duped!</thing> -
As a great man once said:
"when people stop buying it, we will stop selling it"
It's like those telephone 'chat' services that state in their ads: "to ensure friendly service, messages may be sent by hosts"
(translation: to ensure that you take a paid subscription, robots send you dirty messages)
But here we are, they have chosen their target, the spotty teenagers who think they are smarter than everyone else (and especially than their parents) and who don’t take the time to think...
There is nothing surprising about this being done on serious sites...
You are probably too young to have known, but 15 years ago, all magazines had their ads for pink phones and/or fortune-telling.
The evolution of technology makes this accessible to everyone, the companies in question usually fortify themselves by establishing terms of use that are
1. too long for us to bother reading them
2. accessible by clicking on a link and not directly, so we don’t accidentally see something important like 'I agree to be charged 50 euros a day because I am an idiot'
For my part, I have a certain respect for those who set up paid services for a simple !8ball ( https://www.clubic.com/telecharger-fiche205850-8-ball.html )
So, it's a scam, but it's like the pink phone or Mrs. Irma, we get exactly what we paid for.

Stop failing the Turing test! -
Not very smart to believe in such things!!
And personally, it would scare me if it were possible!!!
Because if we think for more than two seconds, our phones would have to be able to emit and receive X-rays!!!!
While we’re already being bombarded with information about the power emitted by phones, it really makes me laugh!!!!
Human stupidity knows no bounds!!!! -

No need to be a computer scientist to know that Jamba is pure nonsense. Between the fortunes of destiny or I don't know what, the trick of materializing a coin, and so on, one must believe that someone who is foolish enough to consider buying it is nothing but a complete idiot.
On that note, have a good rest of the afternoon. -
What amazes me is that it's advertised on serious stations or websites... it's really nonsense...
-
Does this thing really work?! For any type of phone??
If you know the software of your phone, I think you should retrieve the value that commands the battery-shaped scrollbar. Then with a simple test, change the gif, like 1/3, 2/3, 3/3.
For something more precise, wow! I think the only solution would be to manage to retrieve the battery voltage, it must be done somewhere!
Keep me updated if you manage to achieve something. -

Moreover, if you load something on Jamba, you automatically subscribe to their service. Keep an eye on your bank accounts; you might be in for some surprises in the coming weeks...

Indeed, Jamba is a huge scam. After ordering a song with the dancing man, I received nothing and they told me that my very recent phone was not compatible. However, they charged me over €7 and did not refund me, even though I received nothing, paying for absolutely nothing. They have continued to send me millions of ads every minute on my phone!!!!
HUGE SCAM -
I also got fooled last night; I wanted to buy a dynamic logo, they charged me 3 euros and told me my phone was not compatible. I don't understand how the ad can be on TV. I have an LG Viewty Orange and I have a dynamic logo integrated as a default wallpaper, there's a woman standing during the day and lying down at night. So I think it’s possible to add one, but I have no idea how. I'm keeping an eye on this site in case someone has a solution. Thanks in advance.

Indeed, big scam!!!!! I wanted to buy the X-ray. It cost me 10 euros!!!!! While they said it was 3 euros, so SMS plus normal delivery. And then when I went online to download it, boom, no more credit.
SCAM!!!!!!!!! -
Why do you believe in these adolescent things? They just do it for money, not for your image to change depending on your battery with the little flower. Seriously, you just look at your battery and that's it!
-
Good grief! You need to read my messages in full before speaking nonsense!!
I also didn’t believe in their ridiculous X-ray!
My problem is the screen that evolves according to your battery, which seems more logical but is long to implement by myself, even though I am a computer scientist...
There you go! -

At the same time, it's true that sometimes I'm not very smart. But I wanted to see if it wasn't nonsense. But in reality, Jamba is a scam, it's nonsense and it's expensive. Jamba scams to get rich off people. Damn, the number of people who fell for this crap because of this scam. I feel sorry for them... ++
-
Oh, I just saw another scam in my email from Jamba on the side. It's the love test with the fingerprints. +
-
It happened to me about a year ago.
I sent a text message for a game, not an application.
The thing is, in addition to paying an exorbitant amount, they send me every week
''Your subscription to the SMS+ JAMBA service is renewed. If you wish to unsubscribe, send STOP to 88080 (cost of a regular text message)''
And every week, I send them their ''STOP to 88080'', and every week, they renew my subscription...-
try "STOP" instead of "STOP, at 8...."
Latest gem: at what age are you most likely to have a child? Our astrologers tell you everything! Read in very small print at the bottom of the ad: based on a statistical study. Source: INSEE
And here’s where this study comes from: https://www.insee.fr/fr/statistiques

Hello,
I will try to answer your questions one by one...
Regarding the Evolutive Gasoline logo, this logo does indeed work on a limited number of mobile phones. Many phones do not support this function, which is why Jamba sends you a GIF or JPEG logo instead (depending on the phone model). Unfortunately, we cannot change anything on this side. This issue is related to the models of phones you are using. We are well aware of this problem, which is why we indicate in our advertisements that you should check your mobile phone's compatibility on www.jamba.fr beforehand. We apologize for this inconvenience. However, you can call our hotline for more information: 01 57 32 32 62 (standard charges from landline)
Our services are subscription-based. Our clubs cost €3/week and can be canceled at any time by sending the keyword STOP to the short number from which you received your product (88881 for gasoline). The pricing information is always indicated in our advertisements, so it is not misleading advertising. We comply with SMS+ regulations and work in cooperation with French mobile operators. However, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our customer service.
I hope I have answered all your questions.

Hello, I subscribed to Jamba for music, and now I want to cancel, so I send Stop to 88882, as indicated on the Jamba site, but I keep receiving "your unsubscription request could not be processed." When I send Stop to 88080, I get a reply saying you are not subscribed to any Jamba service, yet I was still charged today... So I would like to know how to cancel quickly because I don't want to pay for nothing.
Best regards. -

Yes indeed..
Could you please send it to me by email?
I'm also hesitant to give you my professional email, as I don't want to be spammed all day :-)
So you can forward your number to this address that I've just created:
jamba_moderateur@live.fr
I will forward it to our customer service,
Best regards
