Online Threat Alerts (OTA) - Alerting you to scams and frauds.
Spotzplay locatd at www.spotzplay.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 (spotzplay.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 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 spotzplay.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.

I also fell for this one. I was using what appeared to be simply a free book archive and it asked for credit card details to verify me. It did not identify itself as Spotzplay, a name I would have avoided. My bank intervened to stop the second payment but it has meant a new card has been issued.
Debited my account for 68.29, trying to get a refund
"Hi, I noticed that your site www.spotzplay.com took €57.95 off my bill.my name is Maurizio P...my card is *6419my municipality is 00054my email is maurizio*-hotmail.comI think there was an error because I never did your subscription.now either the refund will follow or I will make a complaint to the postal police."Received via email.
I need to unsubscribe spotzplay.com and found it very difficult to do so. I need these people to stop taking money from my credit card.
These people take 50 dollars from my card every month and I have no idea what they do. I NEED TO KNOW HOW I GIVE THE LOW TO THIS SERVICE
The website is scam, therefore, open a dispute with your bank to have your money refunded. Then cancel your card and get a new one to prevent further unwanted charges.

Spot play is something I have no knowledge of, I did not join, can it be deleted as they have taken money out of my account.

I wish I had seen this, however, the sing up page and the gateway that takes you to the page to enter your credit card info to "verify your location" makes zero mention of the actual website name.At the time I attempted to access a hockey game stream, I was not even redirected to a real site, instead, the page refreshed and I was back at the original sign up page.Had no clue what was going on until my spouse found a strange charge on my credit card.I did initiate a fraud claim and the person that I spoke to at the credit card issuer said that they were aware of thie site and it is definitely a fraud. Wish there was a way to alert others before the damage is done.
So happy you reported it. I didn't have a problem as fortunately I caught the scam on time.
I wish I had seen this site before thank you for your information l. I never thought anything about it until I went into my account but lucky I have stopped my credit, rang my bank at first 1.50 was taken out then $70 so glad they were unable to open my other accounts.
Was lured to site as a result of free movie subscription after filling out a pop up survey seemingly from yahoo. After registering for the on line account, it requests credit card info to legitimize the business purpose. Very suspicious.
I am getting scammed too!
Yes, I have also been scammed in the same way as almost everyone, and to take action and report immediately.
tried to sign up, provided credit card details in full and received message saying the card details were not accepted.Tried again same problem. Got suspicious and tried to Google the review that introduced me to the site 'News Digital.com' but no site found. Immediately cancelled my card.I wish the previous victim a successful court outcome.
I'm a victim too. I have contacted my lawyer and I'm suing this website. I will not accept this kind of treatment. I won't give up until this website is destroyed and punished for its crimes against me/us. Splotzplay see you in court:)Looking forward to it!
I have also just been scammed
I just discovered that spotzplay.com has withdrawn money from my account, I do not know what it is and have not asked for any service from them, so it's very mysterious where it has my information. I can not find any email address for them, so I can get an explanation, but I have to close my account, it's terribly scary.vh, mette
I just became a victim of the fraudulent website. I wanted to download a video from Youtube and signed up for spotzplay. The download has worked but it was several times the hint to see that this is free.On my credit card, whose number I have lightheartedly stated, two debits of 41 and 49 euros were made. Country of origin "CYPRUS".My bank immediately blocked the credit card, but it was not clear yet if they could get the money back.My realization: Never reveal a credit card number to an unknown provider!

You cannot delete your account. Contact your bank and have them cancel the transactions and refund your money. Also, cancel your current credit card and get a new one.

I got asked to subscribe through show box to add subtitles on foreign movies, beware of the site.
OKAY! How did I even get signed up? These people keep charging my card. How do I cancel this? AH!
Contact your bank and have them cancel the transaction and refund your money. Also, have them cancel your current card to stop the fraudulent transactions.
I knew it was fishy. When you clicked on the link at this page: hxxp://shrewdliving.com/ finance-daily-streaming.php ?a=yourtango.comThe link to sign up for this "service" sent me to different pages every time and did not mention the name of the service in the article itself. The different service names included: Spotzplay, musiczum, popplayz, themusicz, botmediaz, 611music, and more.
I to was foolish enough to give my credit details and had deductions which now amount to £150. This includes a site under the name of musiczum.com of which I have never used but assume they are associates of spotzplay.I contacted my bank immediately and as I gave them my card details looks like I may be the looser, however they are going to dispute the transactions.Oh well you learn by your mistakes.
Spotzplay has deducted money from my account although I've never accessed movies. How can I stop them? Can I contact them?
Cancel your bankcard.
Hello is my name is Hagie, I wanna cancel the account.
No, and even if you could, they will continue to scam you. Therefore, contact your bank, have them cancel the charges from the fraudulent website and refund your money. Also, have them prevent further transactions from the fraudulent website.
I fell for this Sportzplay.com via my credit card but the only way to remove it was to cancel my credit card and use a different one.
I too have been a victim of the website. I wanted to watch a old movie online with my Android phone and came across the ad. And like a fool I did give them my credit card information, but as soon as I did they charge me 2.25 for nothing and I was suspicious of this act and to my thinking I was right when I seen this information. But all is not lost bcuz as I seen this I called my bank and cancelled my card and request and new 1. So Ty for this knowledge.
Received via email:"Hello, I have had money taken over the last few days by this website Spotzplay.com. I just called my bank for the change of my credit card but it indicates to me that I could not be refunded given that I gave my card number. What can I do about it?I have already try to unsubscribe from this malicious site, hoping that it will stop the samples. Can you enlighten me on the situation, what should I do to avoid this scam? Thank you in advance.Xavier"
