Is Geeker a Scam or Legit Content Streaming Website?

Is Geeker a Scam or Legit Content Streaming Website?

Geeker located at www.geeker.com is a fraudulent content streaming website. The website which claims it is your best option to keep yourself entertained for hours because you will be able to find movies, music, and books to suit whatever mood you are in, is similar to the fraudulent websites: lilplay.com and tzarmedia.com. Online users who have used their credit cards on the fraudulent website, run the risk of their cards being fraudulently charged for undetermined amounts, even when they have canceled their subscriptions. Therefore, do not even think about contacting their customer support or service.

Geeker at www.geeker.com

www.geeker.com

I have tried the website and it keeps charging my credit card, even though I have canceled my subscription before the trial period ended. And, the website doesn't have some movies, books, and music it has advertised. I think this is another trick used to lure potential victims to the website.

Another reason I don’t trust www.geeker.com is because of the fake “VeriSign Secured” seal or logo.

The Fake VeriSign Secured Seal or Logo

VeriSign Secured  Seals or Logos

The security and trusted seal/logo on the website’s page that asks for credit card information is not clickable, which means it is a fake. Legitimate trusted seals or logos should be clickable because this allows visitors to the same website to view the legitimacy of the seals or logos. Once visitors click on the seals, it should take them to VeriSign website, where they will be provided with information about the same website.

Online users who have already subscribed to services on www.geeker.com are asked to contact their credit card company or bank for help to prevent the fraudulent website from fraudulently charging their credit cards, or refund their money if their cards were already charged.

    There are just so so many fraudulent "tech/help" sites on line it's not advisable to trust Google's tele#s.

    To be safe go to your computer's site (ex. Apple, Google/Chrome, etc.) & ask them directly.

    Also, beware of VIZTECH - it's a parent company to many of these scammers.

    Hi, I'm from trinidad, for the past four years I've been charged us$55.95 every month by geeker.com on my credit card which I never authorise or sign up for.

    I taught it was bank charges when I saw it and never took it on until 11.11.2018 when I never used my card and was charged by geeker.com for nothing.

    F**king fake. I hope my bank can shut them down and recover all my money lost.

    Thief’s, thief’s, thief’s, my bank called me today and they have attempted have attempted to debit my account 5 tines. Luckily, my bank declined it every time. My bank will not allow transactions that come from other countries.

    No bank should allow that without contacting the person first.

    Especially if it comes from a Great Britain, which is the number one country for fraudulent activity. Geeker is a fraudulent sting out of Great Britain.

    They've charged me €19.95 for 11 months. Because it was done via paypal there was no way I could have traced where it came from. Contacted my bank and they are gonna send a request to the site where they have to prove that the charges were correct. They have 60 days to respond and if they respond incorrectly or don't respond at all I will get my money back.

    Similar to the person from Minnesota geeker.com has been taking $29.95 from my account for months. Fortunately, my bank (Chase) called me as they had heard that this site was a scam site. Unfortunately, I'm out several hundred dollars as they've been taking that amount monthly for the past 5 months. I've never even gone to their site, nor heard of them. I have no idea how they gained access to my credit card account.

  • November 6, 2017 at 1:32 PM by an anonymous user from: Chicago, Illinois, United States

    I have never even heard of this site until I noticed the withdrawals, stating from Jan.2017. I noticed it in Aug.2017. I called WellsFargo and they ordered me a new card and only paid me back for two months...I filed a fraud report and waited the 90 day period for investigation. I called after 90days and they said no response from Geeker and there is nothing else they can do...So I'm out almost $400.00, and the phone number WellsFargo gave me was to a Linen Co.in New York! Do I have any more rights to recover my money that was illegally taken from me?

  • September 29, 2017 at 6:31 AM by an anonymous user from: Hereford, England, United Kingdom

    This company who ever they are, are charging my account when I have canceled it. I spoke to my bank and they have stopped it.

  • September 13, 2017 at 8:36 AM by an anonymous user from: Winder, Georgia, United States

    This company, Geeker.com keeps appearing on my credit card. I called to cancel the account and was told no one was available to speak to me. I tried the website and there is no way to cancel the account it only takes you to a sign-up page. I plan on going to the FBI internet fraud unit, they have been helpful before.

  • September 8, 2017 at 11:15 AM by an anonymous user from: San Francisco, California, United States

    geeker.com is a scam. I don't know how they got my card number and charged it but they did, now am trying to get my bank to get my money back. This is bull sh*t cause no one is helping me, they took 29.95 from me please someone help.

  • September 5, 2017 at 12:34 PM by an anonymous user from: Pensacola, Florida, United States

    I wanted to watch the Alabama/Florida game the other day and when I typed in live stream Al/FL Game it directed me to a site called discsplay.com. It said I could watch the game after I created an account. With a 7 day free trial. It assured me repeatedly that my account would not be charged. Turned out to be Geeker.com. They have charged my card 4 times since Saturday. Today is Tuesday. I have been scammed. And, I am very angry. I am curious as to why nobody has reported them to BBB? I looked and they had no record of them being reported.

  • September 3, 2017 at 9:59 PM by an anonymous user from: Manama, Bahrain

    I signed up through YouTube.. after the cancelation of membership after the free trial they keep on charging you.

    They don't reply when you send for support. The worst kind of scam sites you can imagine. Wish they burn in h**l. Had to find out I was charged when my card was declined in a store. I was petrified.. they don't give you a heads up email.. like their job is to make you feel small and worthless.

  • September 3, 2017 at 7:26 PM by an anonymous user from: Penn Yan, New York, United States

    They just got me thru youtube. Tried to charge me $34.95. I live chatted with someone who couldn't even get my name right. EMILLI was the person. Wish I had seen this sooner. I hope the email confirming everything is legit.

    • September 9, 2017 at 9:20 AM by an anonymous user from: Cicero, Illinois, United States

      I just had EmilI today too. Seems to be a default name. Said it was cancelled and I would be refunded 29.95 even-though they have been charging since June. I am just going to cancel my card and see if my bank can refund at all.

    I just filled in for the 5 day free for the Penn State/Akron football game coming on at midnight France time. What can I do now?

    • September 2, 2017 at 2:07 PM by info

      If you have already submitted your credit card information, contact your bank and have them cancel the transaction and put things in place to prevent the website from charging your card.

  • August 26, 2017 at 9:57 PM by an anonymous user from: Richmond, Virginia, United States

    The domain "geeker.com" is listed for sale at one of the worlds largest online domain auction site "sedo" for $10,000. Would a legitimate business sell their domain? Of course not. Hold on to your wallet.

  • August 24, 2017 at 4:51 PM by an anonymous user from: Teddington, England, United Kingdom

    I put my card in but then didn't select the 5-day trial' do you know if they will still be able to get money from my account.

    • August 24, 2017 at 8:04 PM by info

      Once you have submitted your credit card information, they will be able to charge your card at any time until you get a new card.

      • August 26, 2017 at 12:53 PM by an anonymous user from: Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa

        They did charge me without my consent.

  • August 22, 2017 at 9:05 AM by an anonymous user from: Dallas, Texas, United States

    They charged our account 3 times @29.00 each from the end of July till the first part of Aug. We didn't know till we received our bill. We contacted them right away and were told we would receive the money refunded in 5 to 10 days. They are getting pretty bold by charging 3 times in less than a month. We found this out yesterday 8-21-17. Do not assume your credit card statement is correct. CHECK IT EVERY MONTH.

  • August 21, 2017 at 3:04 AM by an anonymous user from: Kingston, St. Andrew, Jamaica

    They tricked me and was able to get US$40 from me. I didn't realize until months after when it was too late for my bank to do anything about. From now on, I will check my credit card statement keenly every month.

  • August 17, 2017 at 8:22 AM by an anonymous user from: Memphis, Tennessee, United States

    Tried it last night and sure enough, they drained my debit card... having to go to my bank today to hopefully fix this. Do not use geeker!

  • August 8, 2017 at 3:28 AM by an anonymous user from: Hobart, Tasmania, Australia

    I never subscribed to Geeker. I subscribed to iTunes & presume they are linked to Geeker. Is this true?

    • August 8, 2017 at 7:32 AM by info

      No. Geeker is a fraudulent website and is not associated or linked to iTunes.

  • August 6, 2017 at 2:13 PM by an anonymous user from: Mechelen, Flanders, Belgium

    Wow, so I was right about to sign up on geeker.com but I saw I had to enter my credit card info, the reason was apparently for your address or something. Which I found invalid but the reason I immediately became suspicious was that it would cost me NOTHING even though I'm gonna watch everything I want online for FREE BUT they still wanted my credit card number...

    I'm so glad I live on the paranoid side of life and I looked it up before doing anything I would have regretted. I mean, I have Netflix but even there I can't watch everything I want so I wanted to watch this one particular movie and thought they'd have it but it kinda leads me from one website to another what had already made me somewhat suspicious.

    Really thanks man, you saved me. And good luck to everyone who's experiencing problems because of this.

    • September 3, 2017 at 3:02 PM by an anonymous user from: Birmingham, England, United Kingdom

      I did exactly the same; why do they want my credit card details? Checked them on line and found that they were fraudulent. Thank goodness I checked first, thanks guys.

    • August 14, 2017 at 7:51 AM by an anonymous user from: Makati, National Capital Region, Philippines

      This geeker.com has been charging me some amount monthly for almost a year now. How can I get rid of it?

      • August 14, 2017 at 8:03 AM by info

        Cancel the credit card they are charging.

  • August 5, 2017 at 1:11 AM by an anonymous user from: Norcross, Georgia, United States

    Wow, as soon as I had trouble getting the Continue button to respond after I had entered my credit card 3 separate times, I suspected something was up. I googled Geeker and found this page about it being a fraud. I immediately called my credit card company and had them cancel my card, within just minutes of signing up. Thanks for the heads up. You prevented a nightmare.

  • August 2, 2017 at 4:09 PM by an anonymous user from: Toronto, Ontario, Canada

    I was looking for a book online and found this website. Honestly guys, DO NOT fall for the professional looking webpage. That was what happened to me; I thought it looked legit so I sign up for it since they offered the free trial within 5 days.

    Asked for my card details and I naively gave it to them; Couldn't find the book I was looking for after signing up and I started to feel kind of off. I got an email after a few minutes stating that I'd sign up for the premium membership even though I did not. Immediately cancelled the trial and they were already charging me $1.01 despite promises that I would not be charged.

    I looked up reviews about this website and decided to cancel my debit card and got a new one. Whole card replacement process only took 15 minutes.

    How do these people sleep at night? Like, they just lie straight to your face and act like they meant no harm. I read some of the messages their people reply to their scammed users, And I'm disgusted by how shameless they are. People would complain and they would give back robotic answers that won't solve anything.

    I would advise anyone who fell for the scam to immediately contact their bank and have their cards replaced. It's a bit of an inconvenience, but it's better than letting those b******s steal your money. Doesn't matter how little or how they take, they have NO right to steal from people!

    • August 24, 2017 at 11:41 PM by an anonymous user from: Stamford, Connecticut, United States

      Yep, the same thing happened to me. I was on a different site, looking for a text book, saw this, looked legit and fell for it. My bank alerted me and is sending me a new card right away.

  • August 2, 2017 at 8:42 AM by an anonymous user from: London, England, United Kingdom

    Help, I was taken in by them, how do I stop them taking money?

    • August 12, 2017 at 12:45 PM by an anonymous user from: Toronto, Ontario, Canada

      Go to the bank and cancel your card.

    • August 4, 2017 at 12:10 PM by an anonymous user from: Houston, Texas, United States

      Am glad you told us. I signed up for geeker movies but I used a card that not registered yet and when they asked for another card I kind of felt it wasn't right. So I got on the net looked them up and found your review. Thanks for the Warning!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

    • August 2, 2017 at 12:45 PM by info

      Contact your bank for help. You may need to cancel your current credit card in order to stop them from charging it.

    July 28, 2017, apx 3am Central Daylight Time -

    I found "Watch32.LA" (I capitalize ONLY to clarify the two particular two characters), a website (I-thought) for downloading movies.

    (Watch32.is HAS BEEN a site that allows download of files.)

    However, when I attempted to download one, I was directed to Geeker.com.

    Fortunately, I check with your website (re Geeker.com) before proceeding.

    It definitely seems to me, that Geeker.com has "set up" Watch32.LA, as an additional phishing website

    (i.e., to funnel victims to Geeker.com!).

    Thanks for your vigilance. Hopefully, my contribution will help others.

    • July 23, 2017 at 7:22 PM by info

      Tell your bank to cancel transactions already made, refund your money and cancel your current credit card. Then get a new card.

  • July 23, 2017 at 5:40 PM by an anonymous user from: Nottingham, England, United Kingdom

    Hello! I was really stupid and I trusted this site for just a second and put my card details in, and I've just realised it's fake, I've canceled the membership but I'm scared it'll take the money out like it did with everyone else, should I cancel my card or could the bank cancel the money going through to them, please help!

    • July 23, 2017 at 5:43 PM by info

      You may have to cancel your card but ask your bank.

  • July 22, 2017 at 1:03 PM by an anonymous user from: Nuremberg, Bavaria, Germany

    I was nearly up to use "Geeker". But there was an inner voice that warned me. I'm used to follow my inner voice, so I gave in the search-question "Geeker what is it?" And here I go. Thank you so much for your warning, dear friends.

  • July 22, 2017 at 2:05 AM by an anonymous user from: Delhi, India

    Lost amounts of money on Geeker over a few months, from my Debit/ATM Card. Since they were small amounts, I guess the bank alerts didn't work... Rs. 199, Rs. 131, Rs 196 over 3 months.

    The bank pleaded helplessness since it was a debit card that was used, not credit card. Their advice was to apply for a new card, which I have done.

  • July 21, 2017 at 11:26 PM by an anonymous user from: Cebu City, Central Visayas, Philippines

    I registered my card today. what to do. It's a debit card and my pay is gonna come in this Tuesday, will they be able to get my salary then?

    • July 26, 2017 at 11:09 PM by an anonymous user from: Washington, District of Columbia, United States

      The only information, again. The one and only time I gave my card information, was to set up a PayPal account two and a have months ago. this morning at 5;30 geeker.com withdrew 29.95 from my account. for what I don't have a clue.

    • July 21, 2017 at 11:40 PM by info

      Contact your bank for help immediately. Because, unlike a credit card, it is harder to recover money taken from a debit card.

  • July 20, 2017 at 9:19 AM by an anonymous user from: Nuneaton, England, United Kingdom

    Thanks for the warning, much appreciated.

  • July 14, 2017 at 10:38 AM by an anonymous user from: Montreal, Quebec, Canada

    I don't know how they got my Visa Debit card's number but they have. I've been charged 7 months in a row without even knowing.

    Because it was a Visa Debit card, they couldn't charge more than what I owned in my check account. I've never thought about looking at my bank statement for that account because I was like "no need, I know what I spend". I've totally forgotten about that Visa Debit card...

    Yesterday, I went to pay a tea with my Debit card and it said I hadn't any money left in my account. I was like "Wow, wtf that can't be possible." I knew I left 40$ in it. So I paid cash and logged on my bank account via my phone and looked at my bank statement. I was horrified seeing 39.71$ taken by a certain "geeker.com". I went on the website and saw it was a streaming site. I don't watch streaming. I immediately called my bank and they saw that for a couple of months now, they had been taking money in my account EACH MONTH. The man said, "looks like 2$ here, some ¢ there". I cancelled my card and they are looking forward to giving me my money back (the bank, not the website, mind you).

    WAIT FOR MORE.

    As I got home, I went on my computer and looked at my bank statement. In January 2017, they took around 54$, they gave it back to me 2 days later and took more a few days later again. They did that in January, February, March, April, and July. The first month was around 54$ all the other months until June, it was around 40$. In June it was 3 times 1¢ on different days and in July it was around 39$. I added it all up and it totalizes an amount of 261.97$CAN.

    I didn't notice before because they took the money around the same day I received my Student Loans & Scholarships.

    THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE IT STOP IS TO CANCEL THE CARD THEY USED.

  • July 10, 2017 at 7:54 PM by an anonymous user from: Providencia, Region Santiago Metropolitan, Chile

    I can not believe; just register because they said I could watch movies for free and only with my email, at no time I put my credit card information in and it is the second month that comes a charge from my Visa card that I didnt agree to.

      • July 28, 2017 at 6:28 AM by info

        There is no physical location. They are only operating in cyberspace.

    • July 10, 2017 at 8:00 AM by info

      You cannot trust them to cancel, therefore, just stop using it. If you have used your credit card on it, we recommend contacting your bank for help. Let them know you have unknowingly used your credit card on a fraudulent website.

      • July 10, 2017 at 12:48 PM by an anonymous user from: Newark, New Jersey, United States

        I was in the hospital when they stated phishing my checking account...nibbling tiny amounts then they started with the big amounts, $29.95 plus some overseas fee additional. The number I called from one of their sites took me to a chiropracters office and they didn't know what I was talking about. I called my bank and filed charges.

    Thank u for the info. I almost signed up with them with my real card. I just wanted to watch the rest of Princess Agents episodes and the geekers website seemed to have the episodes I wanted to watch. I was a little suspicious. Thank God I just gave them card that wasnt working. They said there was an error and I couldnt do free trial.

    I tried to register but when I choose the 5-day free trial it gave me a "fatal error try again" message, asking me to register my credit card again. I suppose I'm out of danger but I blocked my credit card anyways, thanks to this website.

    I have experienced the same unfortunate and costly experience. Never heard of this website and never gave my cc info. Yet, they were able to grab info from my somewhere and proceeded to bill me for several months. I will be pursuing action against this kind of criminal business practice.

    Hi, all from Australia, unfortunately, I have been scammed too I was interested in a movie on YouTube and it directed me to the Geeker.com website I was stupid to give my CC details thought I could watch this straight away promising they don't charge you fees. The movie wasn't even there so I unsubscribed immediately received the cancellation confirmation but my CC Bank later on called me that did I order something for $32.90? Which looked suspicious to them, they cancelled my card issued me with a new one. Talk about the pathetic SPAMS I get now in my emails. These criminals are ruthless there should be a law against these vulnerable people out there. Can they investigate this?

  • June 30, 2017 at 9:20 AM by an anonymous user from: Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin, United States

    I search for a movie and was directed to geeker.com, next thing I knew which I tried to prevent my credit card was charged $7.95. When I video chatted with someone they told me it could take up to 10 business days to get my refund when I explained to him I needed that money he came back and said he was able to get me my refund to check my email confirmation. When I check the confirmation it said it could be up to 21 days because it's a debit card? And, when I called, they gave me the same bulls**t. I don't understand how they can take 5 minutes to charge your card in 10 days, but can't get a refund in 10 days?

  • June 27, 2017 at 9:29 AM by an anonymous user from: Delhi, India

    You are correct that geeker.com is a fraudulent website. But how do I cancel my subscription? Please advise.

    The website has been charging my husbands credit card since May. The odd thing about this is, that he has NEVER signed on to the website and the credit card that has been charged is a "back-up" card that is never being used. We are wondering how this can happen? And we are in Finland.

    While on the phone with my bank for the purpose of stopping payment of the one penny charge, I received an email from Geeker.com with the news that my "cancellation" had been approved and completed, that I will receive no further charges, and very cordially thanked me for my interest. Supplied a reference number and everything for this fully documented, though unauthorized "membership" and its associated debit of $0.01.

    I was very lucky. I tried to register for an account, but I could not get to the input page. I googled to see how to register the list had a couple of FRAUD ALERTS and I found this site. I am so very thankful you service exists. I normally would not have tried to sign up because the offer of 2017 movies I wanted to see-even though I knew this GEEKER.COM movie site is/was TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE!

    Those who have been taken in by this FAKE, FRAUDULENT SITE's PROMISES.

    Credit card information in the USA: Most Card Companies have LIMIT TO PROTECT YOUR ACCOUNT. Banks have fraud limit too but a generally not as stringent as your credit cards. Report the fraud ask about them what the fraud loss limit on your account, soon as possible,

    Is it possible to bring a CLASS ACTION SUIT against these crooks. The internet laws of all nations must monitor the thieves instead of violating our privacy. Consumers have no protection from liars, thieves, and predators who choose to dupe unsuspecting people for a living. The thieves who set up GEEKER.COM must be hunted down by a global internet fraud investigation.

    I wish I had found this before signing up. I cancelled my account and the next day I had charges on my account that put my account in the negative wracking up overdraft fees. They say that it isn't "their problem" you don't know how to manage your money and got overdraft fees. Yet I would not have said overdraft fees if they hadn't charged my card.

    The customer "service" rep said she'd issue me a refund and cancel the account. And she said to not contact our credit card company about this while it's being refunded because it could delay the refund!

    I'm guessing it is so they can rack up even more charges before you contact your credit card company and cancel your card. You might be liable for at least some of the charges. Yuk!

    Thankfully we put it in dispute and are getting a different number issued.

    Yep, these guys are a rip-off ... I found my credit card details already entered.I defaulted to this website while trying to access another, I started to delete my details from the boxes but was unable too. I was phoned by the bank and alerted to them taking 1c then $10' then $50 ... The bank blocked them, or so they said... I keep this account to the minimum, I transferred money to this account and withdrew it from an ATM ... shortly after this these scamming pricks took $50 again ... I did not fill in my details or click on the 5 days ...which doesn't say anything about being free, they say you won't be charged any fees for 5days ...regardless, they took money immediately after accessing my account details from me without having to fill them in!

    These people need to be exposed.

    Yes, Geeker.com is fake. I should know. I get a number of phone calls from good people that have been taken by this fake company. They wonder if I am geeker.com, and I say no. I point out that I am "OCgeeker". I live and work in Orange County California. I do not work with bank cards. Just checks from people I personally visit.

    The best way to deal with this company or any company that misuses you bank cards (credit or debit) is to call you bank immediately, or visit "A.S.A.P". Talk with a banking advisor and tell them what has happened. Ask that they change the number of the card, and issue a new card. Most banks are very happy to do so and will refund you your money back.

    If you live in the Newport Beach / Costa Mesa area, they look me up if you need legitimate computer service.

They seemed rather standard but just to be sure about the cancellation policy I called the two numbers provided to cancel. The first one went to a fax machine and the second number was not valid.

    You are right to say it is a crooked set-up. A couple of years back I found one of my copyright books being offered for download. I followed the links and it led me to Geeka. I went back to the original page and found a DMCA page with a contact link.

    I have tried innumerable times to send them a claim regarding copyright infringement but the CAPTCHA question is unanswerable - I think by design.

    I think the whole set-up stinks to high heaven! I only wish I could find who is at the back of all this so I can take them to court. I am angry that they are making money off my expense.

I join the sites simply because I wanted to download a movie, which they needed my bank details saying it's a one-off purchase; only to find out that the movie that I was looking for didn't but my money has been debited...this debit order has been running since February till now! I tried going to the bank to solve the matter but they told me the transactions doesn't appear on their database in which they can't stop the debit order.

      I really just wanted to say now that I know it's okay here. They got me for a 1-cent pending transaction so far - after giving a message that my card could not be verified. And of course they already say your card won't be charged at all. I've contacted my bank, but I do expect Geeker will try to hit me again, and then I'll need to get the card re-issued. More of an inconvenience than a disaster.

    Just this moment put in my email address to create an account... Got to card details and it was asking for the 3 digit security number on the back. Hmmmm alarm bells. I usually only add that when im making a purchase. So I didnt add my card details, left the site and did a search... Thank goodness for your site at the top of the search listing. Phew... That was a close one. If you have added your card details, dont even bother trying to wipe your account. Go to your bank and have them blocked and change your card details.

      Well done for out-smarting these hacks! I have been charged £4.50 for months now for something I wasn't even aware I had subscribed to. My credit card company has blocked any further transactions from this site.

      I assume this was a 1-month trial free offer that I didn't cancel.

      Lessons learned: 1) NEVER GIVE 3 DIGIT SECURITY CODE; 2) Always Set Reminder Date for Cancellation of trial month AND check next month's bank statement.

  • April 13, 2017 at 8:58 AM by an anonymous user from: Ljubljana, Slovenia

    HI I have already written on this thread. I have a question for Online Threat Alerts administrator or for any person that has dealt whit this before. Since it seems to be impossible to cancel the subscription on any of these scam websites, I ask why even bother cancelling their supposed free trails or memberships via phone, on their websites, by email, or online chat. Just contact your bank and change your CC or block the transactions.

    The only upside to trying to contact them or trying to cancel I can see is to obtain a conformation that you have cancelled if they take you to the collections or they begin some legal actions. But as we have seen not all that have cancelled are provided with cancelation conformation like that. I for example tried to sign up, didn't received any charge on CC, couldn't log in to cancel ( my data was supposedly invalid), and couldn't reach them and they didn't answer to my email or anything. I then call my bank and changed my CC.

    And even when they send you such conformation they continue to charge you anyway if you don’t change or block your CC.

    So I ask for future reference should people just contact their banks and ignore the cancelation process since it seems to accomplish nothing. I am a little bit worried that they may send people to collections or that there might be some legal consequences if they do not try to cancel in the way these website instruct them (for example call some phone number that either doesn't work or if it works asks for your debit card again and the scam continues), but as we have seen there is no point in cancelling with these websites. Did any of you have any problems like that after you couldn't cancel your membership and just changed your credit card or blocked the transactions?

    So do you suggest that people should just ignore their cancelation process and should just go to their banks to either cancel they CC or block the transactions?

    Have a great day.

    • April 13, 2017 at 10:40 AM by info

      The website is a total scam, operated by cybercriminals in a foreign country where it is hard to apprehend them. So, there is no need to worry about any legal actions being taken against you. Therefore, go directly to your bank to have the charges canceled and your money refunded. And, have the bank prevent future transactions.

    I was trialing Crysis 3 for Mac for free, and they asked for my credit card but said that it would not be used. However, Geeker.com DID debit my card, twice, and did NOT allow any access to Crysis 3 for Mac.

    I have also received lots of spam since supplying Geeker.com with my e-mail address. I have today filed a dispute claim with ANZ to have the charges reversed.

    Thanks for your web site and warnings. It helps show up what people are doing.

      You cannot. Contact your bank and let them know you have unknowingly used your credit card on a fraudulent website that will charge it periodically without your consent. Do not contact Geeker for help, they will only continue to scam you.

  • April 7, 2017 at 10:28 PM by an anonymous user from: Los Angeles, California, United States

    wish I had read this before signing up. I was with my bank fraud dept before signing up. they are unaware of this being a questionable site. I to was taken in by doing a search for Billy Jack movie and was led to geeker. after joining I come to find out that movie is not there and what is there really sucks. movies anyway. I do not know about the games and books.

    while trying to join from my iPad I was problems. I called their support team to find out registration does not work on mobile devices.

    first clue something was wrong. after my debt card was entered a Chase splash screen appeared. Chase needing more info and a phone number was provided. I called they wanted my card number which is to be expected. then they wanted my pin number. red flags went up then, that's when I called my bank and they said there was no hold on my card? I used the debt card because I only have an allowance in that account. anyway, the process would not be accepted till I used a CC. that was my second shot across the bow. why I continued is beyond me. I guess some of us need to be stuck with a 2x4.

    ive hit the cancel button, lets see where it goes from here. I will call the CC company to for good measure to stop any charges. its only been day 1 into the 5 day trial.

    I have zero sympathy for any of you guys - this is what happens when you sign up to a clearly dishonest website to watch pirated material. The lesson here is simple - if it's too good to be true, then it probably is. Stick to Amazon, Netflix, iTunes et al.

  • April 5, 2017 at 12:38 PM by an anonymous user from: Fort Lauderdale, Florida, United States

    Do not even try to get in touch with Geeker.com "help center", just call your credit card company or bank, dispute the charges and block them to prevent any future additional charge.

  • April 5, 2017 at 12:14 PM by an anonymous user from: Alameda, California, United States

    Signed on with this site April 1. Then April 3rd 2017, $10 charge appeared. Today on April 4, 2017 I called my bank and there was another $1.01 pending.

    I've cancelled my card and getting a new replacement card. I'm not going to sit here and wait for them to start up with the higher charges I see listed on this site.

    What can we do to get them shut down? This is crazy. They shouldn't even come up number 1 in my search engine when I was seeking a telenovela show.

    What a mess. I'm super aggravated and now have to update all my card info on all my main sites. I give them geek fraud people 2 thumbs down. They should be in prison for this crime.

    I sadly also got hustled by the site. My trap was I wanted to watch a online concert and in order to gain access to it I had to "sign up" for free and all l had to do once the concert was finished was to then unsubscribe which I did or so l thought until I was tipped off by a legitimate site called Mint.com which watches your spending. After cancelling my debit card and working with my bank I thought the problem was solved but, thanks to Mint I see that I am still getting charged.

    I will once again contact my bank and hopefully with their might.. the problem will be permanently solved. Also this so called Geeker.com was at the time I signed up was called DonnaPlay. Then it was "changed to Geeker.Com

      So even after you cancel your card they still could take money out of ur account. Oh no I only cancelled my card. Once u signed up how long did it take before they charged your account. I signed up tonight then about three hours later found this site. I rang my bank up straight away and they canceled my card but couldn't bring up my bank account to see if there was any money taken out has I had rang the lost card number. I have to ring tomorrow to check. The man on the phone said it was going to be ok and they would not be able to take anything off my account anymore cause I canceled my card. Now reading this I'm worried. I hate scammers. We all work hard for our money why can't they get a proper job and work for there's

      • April 18, 2017 at 6:41 PM by info

        Once your credit card has been canceled, it cannot be charged. So, you are ok.

          That may not be true for all transactions since I've had a couple of charges that were somehow pushed through to my new credit card!

          I even canceled that card and it still happened again the following month. So I had to place a restriction on my credit card for the company that was doing this. It seems that unfortunately once they get you they have got you at least for a while!

          • April 22, 2017 at 11:17 AM by an anonymous user from: Ljubljana, Slovenia

            Interesting, so they were somehow able to charge you even after you changed your CC. I thought that the bank will have no problems cancelling the transactions. My bank told me that after I changed my debit card they should not be able to charge me.

            So should we close our bank accounts and then reopen them? Will this stop them from charging? Did anyone else had problems like this? Or was changing your CC and reporting it enough?

            Please advise.

    Hello, I don t know what to think anymore. I tried to sing up for his scam ( stupidly I know) but after I entered my CC info verified by visa step in and requested my personal password and since I didn't had my phone whit me at the time I didn't entered it and apparently it stopped the sign-up process. I didn't received any charges on my CC or any email from them . I also couldn't cancel my membership by phone or through their website. It said invalid email or password so I don t even know if I ever had the free trail or account.

    I also cancelled my credit card just to be sure. I am however really worried that they will send me to collections. Anyone has any suggestions I what to do? I am really worried.

    • July 7, 2017 at 10:03 AM by an anonymous user from: Madrid, Spain

      Something like this happened to me, when I tried to register giving my CC details and choosing the "free" trial, I got a message "fatal error" or something like that, saying the registration could not be completed, with a link to try again. I haven't been charged the cent for the CC validation so I guess the info didn't get through but I cancelled my CC anyways just in case.

    • April 1, 2017 at 2:19 PM by info

      There is nothing to worry about. You have done the right thing by contacting your bank for help. The scammers cannot take you to court, because what they are doing is illegal, and they know it. We are working to get the website close down.

      • April 5, 2017 at 4:39 PM by an anonymous user from: Fairmont, Minnesota, United States

        How can I help getting these people busted.

      • April 2, 2017 at 4:59 AM by an anonymous user from: Ljubljana, Slovenia

        Thank you for your reply. I am a little less worried. I was afraid they might take me to the collections since I didn’t cancel with their website in the way they describe. But I couldn't, the phone wasn’t working and the site didn’t recognise my email or my password so I couldn't log in to cancel and the email let just say it didn’t go through.

        There is some clause in their terms and conditions about billing you every 10 days or so if they can t get money from the CC you subscribed with. But since I am not even sure if I ever had any free trail or account since I didn’t received any charges on my CC that is now cancelled or any emails from them up to date.

        Now I will just relax. I don t think that there is an actual possibility of them taking me to court. Let leave aside the legality of their operation for a second. If you reside in a different country there is even less of a chance of them trying.

        It would involve an international attempt to try to get their illegal debt. This procedures can be quite expensive and I am pretty sure that any decent lawyer would destroyed them in court because of their shady business practices, impossibility of cancelation let alone the number of really negative reviews and on many sites. I think that the same applies to other scam operations like Lilplay or Tzarmedia. So don’t worry. I did and it was really stressful.

        Have a great day.

        PS Sorry for my bad English.

    HI Everyone. My daughter subscribed without me knowing using my card! Luckily I do online banking and saw the 0.01 payment.

    Call your bank, they are aware of this website. they will freeze your card so that no future payments can go and send you out a new card, its a bit of a pain for all your stored details but the only way to stop this. You will be unable to use your card from the point of the telephone conversation but you can still transfer funds between accounts, or go into a branch, they will explain what to do.

    Great website, and good luck you guys

Upon seeing this article, just after the cancellation, I proceeded to call my bank to cancel the card, because I had already charged 1 centimo, and was pending another 20. With canceling the card and that you send another new is enough To stop charging you, or do I need to cancel the account?

    • March 27, 2017 at 8:45 AM by an anonymous user from: Ashburn, Virginia, United States

      You should contact your bank & ask if there are any charges on your account from this company. If there are, tell the bank representative the charges are fraudulent. You should request they cancel your current card & get a new one.

    The statements above are correct. Being fast I signed up. I found out fast that I could not log into the site. The site was basically just a picture with a login option that doesn't work. So I called me card to make a report. Got a new card on the way and before they could cancel the card the site Geeker had already tried to make a transaction for 1 cent. So stay away from it. Been there and done that. Now you know.

  • March 17, 2017 at 12:48 PM by an anonymous user from: Carmel, Indiana, United States

    Thanks for the advice! I found the geeker site when I was researching a back issue of a magazine.

    The magazine popped up for "free download," yet like some legitimate e-books sites, the next page mentioned "free trial," but with no specific details on the trial period. The very next page was the credit card data entry page. That's when I got suspicious, because first, it didn't mention the number of days for the free trial period, and it didn't even mention the cost of their subscription. Just out of curiosity, I called to ask about pricing. Their supposed "free trial" is only for five days, then it's something like $39.95 a month.

    I had wondered whether they are providing pirated digital copies of media. So, I intend to notify the publisher of the magazine to let them know, just in case they don't. Perhaps with enough pressure from publishers, they'll be forced to cease and desist.

    Googled for a site live streaming Vancouver's Rugby 7's going on at the moment. PDF promising live streaming shows a pic of rugby balls all lined up. It then took me to a membership page that then asked for Credit Card info to prove my geological location. I left the page and tried various other options that didn't work out.

    Went back and went through the site again this time giving my CC info. Went to the site for my "free trial" and there was no live stream of sports anywhere. Got really suspicious and went to this site and found I had been taken.

    Phoned CC company and immediately cancelled my card, where there was already a $.01 charge. Total time was about 10 minutes from sign up, they move fast.

    CC company told me to go and cancel my "membership" which I did, by phone, and received an e-mail saying so. I queried the cancellation with operator at CC company and she said I just had to go through the motions.

    The Geeker operator was very sorry I was unsatisfied and wanted me to take a survey...sigh...

    This is one hundred percent true. On YouTube I went through the process of subscribing to watch movies ( free trial offer ) and wasn't able to watch anything at all. My heart sank at the thought that I had been ripped off. My bank statement says I was charged by Geeker.com for 0.01 cents. I'll definitely get to my bank and notify them to watch for any unauthorized transactions.

    Geeker are nothing but a bunch of SCAMMERS -they take your card details and randomly charge- DO NOT BE SCAMMED!

    They charged my credit card $1.00 for some kind of donation and said I can watch the tv show online. But actually they do not have the show on their website!

    Received via email:

    "You took money out of my account on geeker.com that I did not purchase and I want a refund of my money. I did not give you the okay to make purchases on my account. I want my refund because I did not purchase anything from you."

    I've even joined that geeker website now I don't know how to cancel it. HELP needed.

    From my bank statement are three complaints from Geeker, 0.01, from 2.95 to 1.00. I do not understand how this is possible since we do not use Geeker and I have never given the details of my credit card. The figures are irrelevant but I'm worry and please kindly to reassure me. Thanks and best regards.

    TNX, I'm glad I checked it...and saw your article. Almost signed up to geeker, but knew there must be a catch to free movies online!

  • March 3, 2017 at 3:59 AM by an anonymous user from: San Diego, California, United States

    On February 28, 2017, while browsing the internet for free (and legal) online movies, I unintentionally enrolled with www.geeker.com thru a "free online movies" website. When it asked for my credit card info, I submitted it after reading disclaimers and guarantees that I would never be charged unless I chose to upgrade to "premium membership". After completion of enrollment, I found that it was actually only for a "free 5 day trial", after which my credit card would be charged a monthly fee, between something like $59.95 to $19.95, depending on the number of months I chose.

    I then checked my credit card account online and found that a $1.00 "pending" charge had been initiated with "www.geeker.com". I immediately called a toll free number to cancel my membership. An unidentified female representative spoke with me and after she found my newly created account, she advised me that she would close the account and gave me a cancellation I.D. Code, but assured me that also I would receive an email regarding the cancellation and the same cancellation I.D. code (As of March 3, 2017, I have yet to receive any such email). She further advised that the $1.00 pending charge on my credit card was only a "temporary hold" for any possible monthly charges but since my account was cancelled, it would disappear from my credit card account within a day or two.

    On March 3, 2017, I found that a $.01 charge had actually been processed on my credit card by "www.geeker.com" and I knew this was just a part of their scam, hoping I would just eat the one cent charge and forget about them... Wrong! I knew from reading past articles of various types of financial fraud that small nuances like this can reap very good profits by the perpetrators with little chances of being prosecuted because of such a small, seemingly insignificant amount. If you multiply the one cent charge by 10,000 that is a $100 gain. Multiplied by 1,000,000 and it is a $10,000 gain. Websites like www.geeker.com have worldwide access to hundreds of millions of users, so do the math, there is BIG profit to these tiny charges on consumer credit cards! I intend to report this information to the FBNI and other authorities, in hopes that action may be taken against www.geeker.com for consumer fraud.

    • April 12, 2017 at 1:41 AM by an anonymous user from: Los Angeles, California, United States

      You are still wrong, many registered users are charged dozens or hundreds of dollars without noticing, not 1 cent.

  • March 2, 2017 at 2:00 PM by an anonymous user from: Alexandria, Virginia, United States

    I found my novel being offered for free through this site. They want you to sign in and give credit card information to download my novel for free for a monthly fee offering unlimited books, movies, etc. This is a direct infringement on my copy write of my novel. I contacted them with no response. I have no idea where to go from here because the person you talk to doesn't even know who they work for. Who are these people and how do we make them stop what they are doing is my question.

    • April 3, 2017 at 7:12 PM by an anonymous user from: Everett, Washington, United States

      I would love to know ... What book do you refer to?

  • February 25, 2017 at 7:58 AM by an anonymous user from: Saint-Quentin, New Brunswick, Canada

    Ad.Center.Com is the webmasters for Geeker based in Montreal and the 'founding father' of it is Philip Keezer who now runs Playster.

    Playster was originally JoMedia.

    JoMedia, Ad.Center.Com, Geeker.Com and Playster all have one thing in common - namely that between them they are responsible for many thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of bogus and fake websites promoting PDF downloads of books that do not exist.

    In a variation of the Usenet.Nl scam (well documented on the internet, just search for them), Ad-Center.Com basically generate vast numbers of highly SEO optimized websites that scrape descriptions of images and books, making them into webpages, and adding PDF download buttons.

    The idea is that you are led into believing that if you sign up for a free trial with Playster or Geeker (a cheap imitation) you can download the PDF in question.

    Here the scam is proved.

    1. Google any book and add PDF, for example 'The Deep Truth about Marriage PDF'

    2. Search results will be riddled with PDF adverts and sites like this (one of thousands created by the scam):-

    hxxp://swiftbooks.biz/

    3. The site shows download buttons.

    4. Click one and in this case one finds a Geeker registration page

    https://www.geeker.com/signup

    (its an affiliate link with a tracker) It will NOT give you the books in PDF form.

    Signing up is illadvised as there are many Geeker complaints:-

    hxxps://repdigger.com/reviews/geeker-com

    They have 162 scam complaints and only 14 good reviews. The reputation score is 1% and the page above shows many complaints of credit card scams and impossibility of cancelling.

    5. On the Geeker page, scroll down to bottom and you see a Webmasters button.

    6. Clicking that takes one to Ad.center.com, created by Philip Keezer who now runs Playster, who also run many similar PDF ads, deceiving people into sign ups.

    I have just contacted my bank LLOYDS Ltd here in UK to question payments taken from my bank account over the past 12 months and a total of five payment to www.geeker.com have been made each month since October. The bank fraud department are going to look in to the situation and will contact Geeker.com and have monies refunded to me. I have never heard of the the company Geeker.com and would never use them. Fingers crossed that this does not happen again.

  • February 24, 2017 at 8:50 PM by an anonymous user from: Auckland, New Zealand

    I was trying to view a movie on Putlocker and it said I needed to create an account and provide credit or debit card details to confirm my location. It also stated that I would not be charged.

    After creating the account, geeker.com happened to appear in the next window and suddenly I realised what had happened. When I went to cancel my membership it told me my details where not valid. I rang the bank and during my phonecall, geeker.com took money from my account. Thankfully it was only 1 cent and then the bank could block them from accessing anymore.

    Pretty scary tho, how fast something so innocent can turn out to be so physically sickening. I am still very concerned that I have a membership with these guys and can't cancel it! Any ideas?

    • February 26, 2017 at 7:16 PM by an anonymous user from: Brisbane, Queensland, Australia

      Get yourself a new credit/debit card.

      • March 8, 2017 at 4:51 AM by an anonymous user from: Auckland, New Zealand

        Does that stop geeker from accessing into your bank account? Cos I'll do it straight away

        • March 8, 2017 at 5:02 AM by info

          It will stop them from continuously charging your credit card.

    I signed up with bitmovI for a free trial and give them my debit card details. Then straight away I was joined up with geeker. I rang them to cancel my subscription. I'm off to my bank to get payments stopped and maybe a new card. Thanks for your comments :-)

  • February 23, 2017 at 10:16 AM by an anonymous user from: London, England, United Kingdom

    Please be very careful if you see the site claims it's free but asks for your credit card. If it's free, why would they want your card detail?

    Luckily got a call from my credit card company within minutes of a charge since it said it was made in the united kingdom.

    My credit card has charges from Geekers starting Nov. 2016. I didn't order anything from them and tried to cancel it today unsuccessfully. I am about to contact my credit card company.

  • February 13, 2017 at 12:04 PM by an anonymous user from: Chicago, Illinois, United States

    I never went to geeker.com before but geeker started making unauthorized charges on my card nonetheless.

  • February 8, 2017 at 12:14 PM by an anonymous user from: San Francisco, California, United States

    I'm glad found this site. I've always thought the offer was too good to be true, so I had my suspicions. I almost found myself reeled in by the comments of the people whom stated that the site was good and trustworthy. There were just so many positive phrase about the "geeker.com". But seriously that was a close call-reading this site really saved me \(^.^)/

  • February 3, 2017 at 8:25 AM by an anonymous user from: Kolkata, West Bengal, India

    I gave my credit card details to geeker.com as they said there will be no charge. I registered there for watching sports. But I could not see any sports action and they are charging $2.95 in every 3-4 days from my credit card. How can I get rid of them?

    • February 12, 2017 at 7:09 PM by an anonymous user from: Montreal, Quebec, Canada

      Cancel your card, ask for a new one to be issued, it is worth the time.

    • February 3, 2017 at 8:33 AM by info

      Contact your bank and have them cancel the charges and refund your money. Also, the bank may need to cancel your current credit card to stop the scammers from charging it, and give you a new one.

  • February 2, 2017 at 3:10 PM by an anonymous user from: Chetumal, Quintana Roo, Mexico

    Thank you for saving me. Now I did not suscribe to that portal. Thank you all!

  • February 2, 2017 at 7:02 AM by an anonymous user from: Brisbane, Queensland, Australia

    I realised soon after I typed in my details that Geeker does not have the range of material advertised. I have followed their cancellation process

    and noticed it wasn't entirely well written as a legal document would be, as they did not name the type of membership.

    Thank-you for the warning, I will notify my bank. I feel very foolish but am aware the positive experience had with Netflix gave me the confidence to trial a different group.

  • February 1, 2017 at 9:50 AM by an anonymous user from: Buffalo, New York, United States

    I got sucked into using Popcorn to look at movies. But then I got notices from Time Warner that I was illegally sharing copyright material. I thought the TWC lock off my PC was one of those malware attacks. I called TWC and it was REAL. Popcorn was/is a torrent share site. When I was looking at movies, others were getting pieces of those movies from MY PC. Automatic tracking systems tracked the traffic from MY PC. After being threatened to be kicked off Time Warner's system and reported to authorities, I also learned I missed one notice that had a fine. I got the woman to drop the fine. TWC is the only internet access available where I live. Wasn't worth it.

    • February 1, 2017 at 2:44 AM by info

      Just contact your bank and let them block transactions from the website and refund your money.

      Also, you may need to cancel the current credit card and get a new one, because the website may continously charge it.

  • January 30, 2017 at 5:00 PM by an anonymous user from: Auckland, New Zealand

    Hey Kiwi's we are on the hit list too! I have been charged NZD50.00 on the 13th of Jan and then again today. Contacted the bank they have cancelled my card and will try and retrieve the funds (fingers crossed but not holding my breath). I have no idea how this happened the day my apparent membership was started I was at a funeral and was not using any devices for 3 days? After googling I see I am not alone. BEWARE! keep an eye on your account daily, good luck.

    • January 26, 2017 at 12:36 PM by an anonymous user from: Dublin, Leinster, Ireland

      Same is happening to me. I'll be visiting my bank and credit card company seeking a refund from Geeker.Com

  • January 23, 2017 at 9:16 PM by an anonymous user from: Linthicum Heights, Maryland, United States

    HI - I am having an issue with geeker.com. Ive just noticed that Ive been getting charged TWICE a month at $20 a pop by these people. This is how the charge shows up on my bank statement:

    POS PURCHASE GEEKER COM LONDON

    I have been charged 7 times at $19.99 in the last three months. I should have caught this sooner, but I definitely didn't give my info to this "company," Geeker.

    Actually, the only time I've used that debit/credit card in the last 4 months was when I was suckered into a subscription-based service, Dreamyfun.com (about the same time these Geeker charges show up. Dreamyfun.com was $2.95/month, but I was never charged for it, nor did I return to the site. I forgot about it a couple weeks after and now I'm wondering if there is a connection between geeker.com and dreamyfun.com.

    I returned to Dreamyfun.com just today for the first time and cancelled my account, without issue. Although, my account was categorized as Premium and my montly charge listed as $2.95. Again, I have never been charged by dreamyfun.com.

    Is cancelling the dreamyfun.com subscription enough to stop the charges?... probably not. But, does anyone recognize this variety of scam? And, whats the best way of going about getting your money back?

    Thanks everyone!

    • January 23, 2017 at 9:37 PM by info

      Contact your bank and have them cancel the transactions and refund your money. You may need to get a new card to prevent the fraudulent website from continuously charging your card.

    • February 3, 2017 at 1:43 PM by an anonymous user from: Frankenlust, Michigan, United States

      Same with me. I randomly got declined for a small purchase today despite the fact that I knew I had the money on my car and saw that I was being charged an overdraft fee because Geeker charged me. I literally had to google geeker in order to figure out where the charges came from, and since I'm a beginning college student fresh out of high school, this is a big hit to me. I'm going to try contacting my bank after work to hopefully figure this out.
