123plays is an Untrustworthy Content Streaming Website

123plays located at www.123plays.com is an untrustworthy content streaming website. The website which claims it will deliver all your favorite movies, music, and games across all your favorite platforms, 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, run the risk of their cards being fraudulently charged for undetermined amounts, even when they have cancelled their subscriptions.

They (123plays.com) 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 periodical charge your credit card for an undertermined 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 123plays.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.

On the 19/112019 money was taken out of my account to the amount of$75.66.
When I went yo pay for a bill owing I realized the money wasn't there so I,checked it and found out that it was a fraudulent add company using varies names 123 plays.com from cup US. I am now in the process of reporting this to my bank to retrieve the money back. I do not wish anyone to be scammed by these so could hackers who like to steal from innocent people.

I have the same problem too. I was charged for $49.95 by 123play.com. My guess was that one day I was creating new account with Capital One because they took over my Walmart credit card, I thought I was entering my information with Capital One. when I finished the form, I closed the window. Capital one account was still shown and blank. I don't know where all the information I entered go. Few days later, the fraud charges appeared in my account.

I was linked having completed a questionnaire regarding my Tesco shopping delivery.

Having answered a few further questions that I thought were from Tesco I was told I would receive an iPhoneX - then questions about email address and other info and when I got to credit card details alarm bells rang louder.

So I searched and found this valuable info - thank you..

Received via email:

"I received a text message from Priceline Pharmacies this morning that I, along with 3 other girls were chosen to win a free product to review (I had chosen iPad with intention of reselling) and I only pay p h.

Along with this offer, you had to create an account with 123play for a month free membership - I continued through & put my email address and created a password for this new account I was a little skeptical to create. I came across the section where it asks for my credit card details, but stated at the top of the page “we will NOT charge your card”. I then googled this website of 123plays & uncovered that so many people had been scammed over $400 with signing up; with the website ignoring cancellation requests.

I’m thankful I did my research before continuing to sign up; but this whole thing originally came from a text message from Priceline Pharmacies which was a company I thought I could hold a little more trust into. I have attached photos for reference.

Whilst researching I came across this email address to forward spam alerts to, as it is so unlawful & malicious to mislead naive and hardworking people.

Kind Regards
Tayla"

I never noticed that they were charging my card every month and it did not stand out to me. I have lost $800 and my bank says they can't help me. It was easy to cancel and cancellations are the number 1 key of their automated system. I didn't even intend to get a 5-day trial - after that, they charge you $50 a month until you notice it and cancel. It is in the fine print at the bottom of the original correspondence I had with them and they never remind you that you are being charged.
