The website "www.mediabugz.com" is a fraudulent one. The website which claims that online users can watch movies, listen to music and play games, is similar to the fraudulent websites: www.geeker.com, lilplay.com, and tzarmedia.com. Online users who have used their credit cards on the fraudulent website (mediabugz), run the risk of their cards being fraudulently charged for undetermined amounts, even when they have canceled their subscriptions.

Please continue reading below.

The Fraudulent Website - www.mediabugz.com

They (mediabugz) claim not to charge your credit card for the trial period but will do so anyway, even if you cancel before the trial period is up. Also, they will charge you to cancel your free registration, and will periodically charge your credit card for an undetermined amount of money. 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.

Online user who have already subscribed to mediabugz.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.

Is there any way to close the account. They've taken money out of my checking account and I can't find the website to try and close my account? Will I be able to get my money back?

So I didn’t realize that website was a fraud. How do I cancel it? I’m still in high school so I don’t want to go in debt because of it.

Dear Sir or Madam,

I noticed that you debited from my Visa account an amount of 49,95 €.

Who gives you the right to dispose of my visa account? I have not placed an order with you and therefore have not issued any direct debit authorization. How do you get my visa data?

I'll give you 3 days to transfer the amount back. Otherwise, I will file a complaint against you at the police station.

  Please contact your bank and have them cancel the fraudulent transactions, refund your money and cancel the same credit card, and get a new one to prevent the fraudsters from continuously charging your card.

I somehow have a subscription to this medianugz.com site. I cannot contact them and they are taking $62-$63 Australian a month out of my credit card. I have contacted my bank and changed all information, but this website now has access to this new card and information. When I google this site it comes up with not much information. I will contact my bank again to try and stop this thieving from my card.

Regards Carolyn.
