Likely scam

Fake retailer mystery-box subscription trap (Beaverplan / Smartwish Consulting)

beaverplan.com

A UK "mystery box" subscription trap. Facebook "sponsored" ads impersonate well-known UK retailers such as Morrisons and B&Q, offering a cut-price mystery/beauty box for roughly £1–£9.95. After shoppers hand over card details for the small "delivery" fee, the box typically never arrives and the card is then hit with recurring charges of about £37, shown on statements as "Beaverplan"/"beaverplan.com". Those payments trace to Smartwish Consulting Limited (UK Companies House No. 14025559). The impersonated retailers are themselves victims of the brand abuse.

Subscription trap · active

Avoid. Fake Facebook ads impersonate UK retailers like Morrisons and B&Q to bait a ~£1–£9.95 "mystery box"; nothing arrives and the card is then charged ~£37 on repeat under the "Beaverplan" descriptor.

Our opinion, based on the public evidence below, as of 20 Jul 2026. How we work & right of reply →

The evidence — every signal, shown

Identity & legitimacy

  • Opaque entity behind the charges

    Bank charges tagged "Beaverplan"/"beaverplan.com" trace to Smartwish Consulting Limited, a UK company (Companies House No. 14025559, incorporated 5 April 2022, SIC 82990) whose registered filings give no sign of the retail brands its ads imitate.

Payment

  • ~£1–£9.95 bait, then recurring ~£37

    Victims pay a small 'delivery' fee of about £1–£9.95, after which their card is repeatedly debited around £37 for a subscription they say they never knowingly agreed to.

Dropship & impersonation

  • Goods never arrive

    Reviewers overwhelmingly report the advertised box is never delivered; the cheap upfront charge exists only to capture card details and start the recurring billing.

Ad behavior

  • Impersonates real retailers on Facebook

    Paid Facebook ads copy the branding of legitimate UK retailers such as Morrisons and B&Q to lure shoppers with a cut-price mystery/beauty box, echoing a broader wave of retailer-impersonation "mystery box" ads flagged by security researchers.

  • Named retailers are victims, not culprits

    Morrisons and B&Q (among other UK retailers) are legitimate businesses being impersonated without their involvement — B&Q has posted its own scam-alert warning — so shop only via retailers' official sites, never links in social ads.

Complaints

  • Flagged by UK consumer authorities

    Action Fraud logged more than 7,900 reports of 'mystery box' scams impersonating retailers, Suffolk Trading Standards warned over a fraudulent Morrisons offer, and Consumer Scotland community groups describe the same £37 recurring-charge trap.

Review authenticity

  • High-risk across independent checkers

    beaverplan.com is rated poor/high-risk by third-party scam checkers and its Trustpilot page is dominated by 1-star reviews explicitly calling it a scam.
