Online Threat Alerts (OTA) - Alerting you to scams and frauds.
The website "www.playspotz.com" is a fraudulent one. 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 (playspotz.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 playspotz.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.

Hello,I filled in the form with credit card number just before I read this warning. What can I do the avoid that my account is charged?
Cancel the credit card you used and get a new one.
I was charged too, I've already contact the bank once I knew.
That's true. No free trial, just change your credit card.
How do you stop this company sending emails, it's getting on my nerves!
How can I get back my money?del

how can I cancel the subscription?
You cannot trust them to cancel, therefore, you may need to cancel your card and get a new one to prevent them from continously charging you.
I have been charged 2 times 49.95 €, 7/8/2018 and 7/9/2018 on my credit card, which I just blocked, and I have unsubscribed from the site playspotz.com, as far as I have been registered once.It's a scam.

I have to put a denunciation in the police now because they are making me fraudulent charges for amount of almost 90 €.Of course, i have already blocked the card. What more people sinvergüenza
Thank you for sharing the information - will be helpful in cutting my losses. I have to contact my bank now to stop the credit card transactions.
I also have been scammed by Playspotz . My bank is extremely unsupportive and is insisting I have visited this site and suggested that I have subscribed for a purchase .I do not use and have no need for the merchandise this fraudulent site advertises . Why would I subscribe! I am very disappointed to say the least with my Bank for suggesting I don't know when I've purchased an item on line. So beware and change banks if you don't get any satisfaction . Yvette.
Just been scammed by this mob for $61.67. No idea how they did this. I've rung my bank who are investigating.
I have been scammed as well and they have taken my money.
Looks like I have been scammed as well.
The b*stards hit me for 64 dollars and I have no idea how. This is the second time
How I can get back my stolen money from the site?
How can I cancel the subscription to playspotz still in the trial phase?
You cannot, they are thieves. Contact your bank and have them cancel the card and get a new one.
I am not even able to go back on the website; it is just a blank screen; how am I supposed to cancel my subscription if I cant even get into the website; this is so bad omg..
It is completely unknown to me how they got my credit card number.
They have done it to me, never heard of them before.
Same here! I started to sign up because it seemed like it was free but when they asked for card info and I read that it was a free trial and then it would start charging. I closed out of the site. Hadn’t entered any payment info at all yet today I see a charge for $49.95 to playspotz and I couldn’t even recall what or who that was.
I got $1 charge from playspotz.com; I already report to my bank...
I got my credit card charged with 1 USD for service I never used. I do not even have a subscription or account at playspotz and funlizard (both fraudulent pages!). Please avoid the website.As soon as I saw the expense on my credit card I called my bank (ZABA, Unicredit group in Croatia, EU)and reported a fraud. Now they are checking with the police and I am expecting my money back and some other measures to prevent further fraud from those two sites.I think the little children playing games are their first victims, but also people trying to download movies.
Im from Croatia too, did you get your money back? I had problem with mofoplay page and also with spayspotz.
This is not a good source of income. I am just a student here in Australia. I just wanted to watch NBA. But what happens is I got charged 69.00aud$. They should go to jail. This is not fair taking advantage of the weakness of others.
Contact your bank and have them cancel the fraudulent transactions and refund your money.
How can I get back my money?
Contact your bank and have them cancel the fraudulent transactions and refund your money. You may need to get a new credit card to prevent the website from continuously charging it.
I signed on for a 5 day trial at playspotz and canceled 3 days later. they have already billed my visa card for 1.00 US. I am trying to confirm my cancelation.
No matter how old you get some times one relearned lessons of life are rexpirenced at the point of ones embarrassment regardless of age.
I'll make comment when I get this thing canceled.
