Online Threat Alerts (OTA) - Alerting you to scams and frauds.
Nusiczum st www.musiczum.com is a fraudulent 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 (musiczum.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 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 musiczum.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.

When one sees websites such as these, look for payment options such as PayPal.When it becomes obvious that PayPal is not offered as a Payment or subscription method,take it as evidenve that the webiste membership is extremely risky.DO NOT SIGN UPAn alternative way is to obtain A Pre-Paid Debit card.Such a card is MOT linked to your bank account, and the card holds only the value that one has paid into it.So when the card holds the most minimum amount, that is all that can ever be svammed/withdrawn from it.You are the winner .. One cannot get money out of a stone dead debit card.Remember .. ALWAYS USE A PRE-PAID DEBIT CARD where YOU contol the amount of CREDIT the card holds. [Aydin Nasilsin] All th ebest everyone and take care.
How do I stop them accessing my account as I signed up with them.
You may need to cancel the credit card you used on the website and get a new one. If you didn't use a credit card, cantact your bank for help.
I didn't sign up for this but was charged £1.90 with £45 and change pending. I notified my bank and they cancelled my card. How they got my information, I don't know. Just glad I checked my account before the money was taken out.
I haven't been charged anything but afraid I will be. They advertised an eBook I can't find elsewhere, but after creating a trial account it's clear there was never access to this particular eBook.So, I promptly canceled my account but then found these blogs/warning sites about BestBooks/MusicZum being fraudulent. Should I contact my bank preemptively?
The same thing happened to me. Interestingly enough I got the information that the e-book was available via a Google Alert that I have for the name of the author-William Cobbett. I receive dozens of such notifications now each week.
Yes, or check your statements for fraudulent charges and report them to your bank.
they sent me a message, it was a trap. ... they are taking money from my account ... first time € 1.03 and the following day € 49.95 I have canceled the card ... I have claimed the money ... but they do not get an answer. ..the bank. ..what can I do to get my money back?
exactly the same that happened to me approximately one week ago. I thought I was doing a survey...SO STUPID. I've called my bank, fortunately, I've used a rechargeable card I use for internet purchase only, that's almost empty. I'll revoke my card asking for a new one, so they won't take any money from that.
They are charging my credit card with the amount of 49.95 from musiczum.com I have not subscribed to that page and I do not know how to contact them, I have reported it to the Seville police and to my bank.
HI I to have been duped by these chaps and I believe that they are also known as kungmedia .com as well because they are both taking the same amounts of money from our Bank Card. $78.16 to be exact.Since then other charges have been incurred by them $49.95, the last being debited on the 10th September. The thing is I contacted them and spoke with someone about how we were unable to get any of the music that they were offering, and as a consequence asked if they could unsubscribe us from their account.After a lengthy but polite chat they apologised saying that they were experiencing a few problems with the music not being available at this time and would cancel our subscription for-with.They were really nice about it, and left me thinking that was it, NOT EVEN ! I thought I would check our statement only to find that they had withdrawn another $78.16.I am going to get in contact with our bank NOW.
Hi. In May 2018 this company began taking money from our Visa account to the amount of49.95.We did not realise this as we only keep our Visa for emergencies. We noticed that our outstanding debit was high and went to our bank. On their advice we are reporting this to the police in San Miguel de Salinas in Spain. The bank have advised us to cancel our Visa card to stop future payments. They also believe that we can get our money back from the insurance.
Hello good afternoon! Last month doing an online survey I skipped the musiczum page and put my data thinking it was the same page as the one I was doing the survey but not ... because after a few days I was charged 49.95 € and today equal 49.95 €I request with immediate effect the total refund of the two months or the immediate withdrawal from this site, or I will be obliged to take legal action since this is a page and a fraudulent service.I await answer NOW.a greetingThank youMaria
Have your bank cancel the transactions and refund your money. Then cancel your card and get a new one to prevent the scammers from charging you again.
Hello good afternoon!! Last month doing an online survey I got a page in which I thought it was the same and I entered my data to the day they charged me 49.95e send me an email where I got no answer of any kind ... and today I have returned to charge 49.95 € please request the immediate withdrawal of this service and the immediate refund of 2 months or at least of today's charge since it has been an error.But I will be obliged to take mediations please answera greeting
Contact your bank and have them cancel the transactions and refund your money. The thieves will not cancel your subscription and will continue to charge your card.
I communicate that on 31/3/2018 I received an automatic communication (from the UTYLIA TASCA activated by me to know in real time all the movements of the credit card) in which I communicated that from the site MUSICZUM: COM was the sum of € 49.95 is withdrawn.I was amazed, not only did I not know absolutely this site, but I did not have anything to do with them, but for any reason. AnzI .. I did not even know it existed! The only mistake that I may have made is to have examined the site of Spotify and do not exclude that it was taken - in an absolutely involuntary - some link half-hidden that led to that fraudulent operation. I immediately notified my bank and kept waiting. I wonder if you are the extremes for a complaint to the Carabinieri.Thanks for the attentionCarlo D.A. Pecetto.
I was trolling through websites to find sports streaming. MusicZum popped up and I had a quick look to see if it might be better than Spotify, then went back to my task.I have no recollection of signing up for a trial period, and I certainlly did not go down the credit card information road.Imagine my surprise checking my banking to see a NZ$70 deduction for Music Zum last month and a pending one for this month.I contacted the bank. Their response was that with direct credit transactions they have no control. It is a payment between me and the contractor.Apparently we have to sort it our between us!!I unsubscribed and contacted Musiczum. They did reply, said I had agreed to an automatic enrolment after the 5day free trial was over, so it's my problem.The biggest worry I have is that they used my credit card without my (apparent) authority. How did they get the details?The bank even said that changing your card is not necessarily foolproof. They alluded that unscrupulous traders can even carry on charging the new card!Believe me I am going to be doing a bit more digging having found your site.Not Happy.
How can we report them to authorities, what they doing is illegal and they have to pay for it! They need to be caught ... they probably made millions on fooling people.
Yes I have been scammed as musiczum took 49.95 euros from my account after I had canceled within the first hour. What can I do !
Contact your bank for help.

Yes, it's a fraudulent website. Keep away from it.
I started signing up for the free trial at musiczum.com but something about a charge was on there so I know longer signed up because I knowed I only had $5 in the bank. I was charged anyway and now I have an overdraft of $44.00 because of musiczum. I don't see how they are allowed to do this to anyone and nothing be done.
On October 11, 2017 I was chaged CHF 50.50 by MUSICZUM.COM. I never authorized this payement. Go on their Homepage and all the information is listed there.
I have a charge of 49,95 EUR from Musiczum.com. I did not authorize this payment.
I have a charge of $63.18 from Musiczum.com. I did not authorize this payment.
musiccum got my card number from online and charged me .They fraudulently took out $71.00.Rosy.
How do I get my money back that they took from my visa debit card?
They are thieves.
I am so lucky I checked this before I entered my cc info.. I was notified by a Google page that I won a $1000 gift certificate towards the free movies to this account.. what got me was if I had this gift certificate for that much.. why did I need a cc...There is no gift cert..Crazy how these guys get to use Googles name and logo to scam us!!!
I have been scammed by these guys $64 two days ago. They set up through these sites offering an S8 for only $1 delivery it on the sites like KiwI Deals & so on. I tried to email them to find out that there is no such address, scammed. How can these guys continue to scam people but lessons learned to be careful whanau.
Kia ora I have been stung by these scam artist. This was through signing up through KiwI deals, & other sites that were offering free delivery of S8 phones, saying that I had been selected as a winner to confirm my email ad & to send $1 for the delivery.This stated that I was to get free access to their site for 14 days then they said it was only 5 days & then they drew $64 out of my account the actual price was $45. I was going to cancel the subscription on the 14th day but I checked my account & blow me away they had drawn out the money. I have tried to email them, with a reply saying that there is no such address so I have lost out on $64 it is what it is but I now know not to use my debit card for these things again. I don't know how they are going to be accountable but I hope something is done about these scam artists kia ora.
I found a CA$69.15 charge on my credit card, linked to Musiczum.com (1 888 906-3585). I phoned and was told that I had signed up for a "free 5-day premium trial" for music and movie downloads, which was false. I demanded a refund and the operator kept trying to drown me in a "you did sign up" spiel and then "somebody must be using your credit card" BS.I had to raise my voice a bit to stop her, calling their practice fraudulent, declaring that I would oppose the payment. I had to repeat that a few times but I did get her to offer to "cancel my subscription" and reimburse my credit card.She then offered me an extended free trial for their c**p. How drole.
They have stolen from me. Watch out for them. I did not even sign up with them. I don't know how they got my details.
Thank you for this alert.
There needs to be a law about this free bullsh*t that ends up charging money! Always read the fine print. I thought it was too good to be true, read the fine print and saw it was 30 dollars after a 7-day free trial.
I did subscribed to musiczum to get a free phone and realised they charged me for 46.69 euros without sending me anything! It is a fraudulent website how can I avoid them charging me any further amount?
Contact your bank and have them cancel the transaction and refund your money. Also, have them block future transactions from the fraudulent website.
Hi, they have taken $71.34 from my account; how do I get that back?
Contact your bank for help. Let them know that the fraudulent website charged your credit card and ask them to cancel the transactions and refund your money. Also, have them prevent future transactions.
Hello, I have just seen the music scam I will contact my bank thank you.
Receive via email:"they charge me 49.00 dollars and i didn't sign up for it."
You are so right, I got charged twice already from my card. That's over 70 euros now. I contacted my bank, but is there any chance getting this money back? Oh god, oh god....
Ask your bank for the refund.
How do I unsubscribe if I only put in email and password? I tried to log in and I dont exist and its a music website not movies. I clicked on it was a scam and did not add credit card etc details. Help please to remove registered account from this site.
You cannot unsubscribe, therefore, just stop using the website.
