Online Threat Alerts (OTA) - Alerting you to scams and frauds.
Suspicious
The movie streaming website www.cinechest.com has been reported by many persons on the internet as fraudulent. Many of the complaints are about unauthorized hidden charges of their credit cards, not able to watch the movies that were advertised, and the website only has very old movies.
The reason I started researching this website is because I was tricked into clicking on the following advertisement:
A Flash Player Update is Required to View this ContentSee details…End User Licence Agreement*Updating takes less than one minute-upgrade now!
A Flash Player Update is Required to View this Content
See details…End User Licence Agreement*Updating takes less than one minute-upgrade now!
Clicking on the advertisement took me to the website www.cinechest.com.
The advertisement had nothing with do with the upgrading of my Flash Player, but was a deceptive move by Cinechest to get me to visit their website.
Based on these complaints and personal experience with this website, I would not recommend signing up or registering for this service.
Here are some other movie streaming websites you should not trust, they look exactly like www.CineChest.com:

Cinechest is a big scam. I spent the same to pretend supposedly upgrade flash, I never subscribed to this site and ripping off a purchase of 51 dollars charged to my credit card. But worse is the response of the issuing bank: ... the purchase was cast from e-mail is ... course and deliver the card who is not more if the bank swindler or trucho site.
I just discovered this in my bank account. Had to cancel the card, the bank recommended. But I also contacted Cinechest and through their chat service got them to cancel the "subscription", which I did'nt know I had in the first place! Lesson learned: be careful what you sign up for, even a little trial.
I was also a victim of cinechest.com. It says to input my credit card details to register my account but they won't charge me anything for the registration. Few days after, I was surprised to be charged with 69.99 AUD Bank charge for foreign currency transaction. How can I ensure that I stop membership and stop receiving any other charges from this scammer? Pls. Help. Thanks
The best thing to do is to cancel the card. But, contact your bank first and ask them what they recommend.
The best way to stop "CineChest.com" is to stay away from it. But if you get zap, then call your credit card company and report it as a scam site, and cancel your account, so they cannot zap you again.
Thank you for your info and sorry you had to pay for it with your hard earned cash. It's your kind of service that should be rewarded and their kind of services that should not be allowed to even touch a keyboard.Lets spread the word and maybe with some luck they will have to get a real job like work. Theft is not dignified especially when it's off the average honest worker just trying to save a buck by looking to see a movie while he has two rare hours to themselves, f* it, maybe I'll look for a honest sight to give me money to .Thanks again, it made my night just to know that there are people who give a sh* I was just about to give them my number when I thought to check them out sorry.Cinechest you will have to give that belt a tightening tomorrow and go hungry tonight.
I cancelled this last month, how come there is new charges. Stop it now!
Report it to your bank and have your money refunded.
Yes this is 100% a SCAM! I was looking for some old movies to watch online for free and came across this site. But when I saw it asked for a credit card number I hit my "back" button to exit and continue searching elsewhere.WELL... this morning I was looking at my bank account summary and saw a charge for $49.95 from CINECHEST.COM! How is this even possible?! I'm not sure if somehow they can steal information off your phone or computer...I do have my card number saved in to the automatic fill in on my phone, so whenever I'm ordering something I just have to type in the first number on my card and then it automatically comes up. So I'm not sure if they can steal your info that way or not? But they got my Debit card number somehow and it wasn't from me!So be EXTREMELY CAREFUL with the site! I truly don't understand how they are not being shut down and/or ARRESTED!
I just saw a charge on my account for cinechest and never really finished with signing up. Because I didnt want the trail. But they still charge my aact 49.99 for nothing.I didnt even get an email confirmation that I even signed up. I been on the twice today.Stay away from any of these sites. It's a scam! I soo mad right now.'
When I signed up at cinches.com, there was no disclosure that the membership is free for first 5 days only.I was charged $1.05 CAD which I agreed to because they had mentioned that it is a one time charge for unlimited download and then there was NO indication that there will be a recurring charge.I looked at my credit card statement and I was charged around $50 within 5-days period. They are frauds! Period. I have cancelled my subscription now.
