Online Threat Alerts (OTA) - Alerting you to scams and frauds.
Botmediaz located at www.botmediaz.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 (botmediaz.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 botmediaz.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.

Me, I was the dream gourd that I thought I'd subscribe to a great antivirus .... €49.95 every month! I will see my banker as soon as possible!
This website appears to be a scam.They charged me USD1.07 for unlimited access when I specifically indicated I did not want unlimited access.They also did not have the book that I was interested in although their website indicated that they did, in fact, have the book I was after.I rang my bank 3 hours after I registered and my card has now been cancelled and a new one will be issued.Don't use this site!
I have had money of just over £40 taken from my account in September and October. I contacted my bank who have refunded the money and informed me the company could not take money from my account again.I changed my card and pin number.having looked at my account today I have had two payments taken. How can this happen? I don't even know the company nor have I signed up for anything especially movies and music.
You mother f**kers robbed my bank account twice, replace my f**ken money...
Thank you for keeping us safe. A pop up message had come to me as well and then asking to complete a survey to win prizes. And then asking for card details. Really appreciate this website.
They just sent a pop-up message telling me if I completed their survey I would win one of a selection of prizes.Of course it was the movieflix and then came the request for my CC info. Looked like a SCAM to me...and you verified my suspicionsThanks for the diligence in keeping us safe! Kudos!
Thanks for the heads-up; botmediaz was trying today to reel me in.
I too have been a victim of this Botmediaz for months. In total, they have taken close to $500, and I am a widow who is living below the poverty level!This evening was the last straw. I have left my last $80 in my account to purchase groceries. Because of this BotMediaz I always check my account before heading to the store. Well, guess who struck again? Not only did they withdraw the usual price of $49,95, but they actually WITHDREW $66.31!!! There went my grocery money! We'll be living on Raman noodles for a while.I called my bank to ask how to block this payment, since I did not know who these people were, had not signed up for anything, and had cancelled all subscriptions to any sites, such as my craft sites. Not only did the bank IMMEDIATELY cancel my card, they also put in a fraud claim. I will have to go to the bank tomorrow to get a new card, which is fine.AND if this BotMediaz is found to be a fraudulent claim, my bank will reimburse me the money they have been stealing. That would really help right now, since my son's birthday is coming up in a week, and part of that grocery money was to buy him a present.Best advice is to stick to websites that are well known if you want to order anything, and NEVER GIVE OUT YOUR CARD NUMBER TO ANY SITE!! Your computer stores that information and hackers can easily get it and strip your accounts of precious money. They laugh as they roll around in their stolen money, driving their Mercedes cars that innocent people have paid for. they do not care that they have literally taken the food right out of the mouths of children.they are evil, vile people and I really hope they get caught and can think about all the people they violated while they sit in their 6 foot by 6 foot jail cell.
I am a victim too they took money from my account 66.90$ on March 26,2018
Received via email:"Good afternoon.I have been a victim of malware by Botzmedia. I am trying to cancel but since i had never even asked to have this service it is very strange. I never received an invoice or even knew this site existed. They have been going to my credit card for months and charged me 43 euros a month!!What can I do to get my money back and cancel this?Thank you very muchKind regards,Dian"
I also have been a victim of this company. They charged 49.95 from my account for no reason. How can I stop this? and get my money back Holland 7th March 2018
Report the fraudulent transaction to your bank, they should cancel it and refund your money.
Perhaps you could contact your bank, they may be able to cancel the payments and stop any more from happening. I am not sure if you can get your money back.
They got us today and we had never signed up for an account of any type and never received an email that we signed up or paid a 1.00 pre-auth. They had an account created via my yahoo email and deducted both a pre-auth and 49.99. When my fraud dept asked me to contact them the lady repeatedly yelled at me what do you want me to do with your account and would tell me nothing else. Once I told her to cancel, she hung up on me and then I received an email. Crazy!
I have been trying to cancel my account. I can't call and do it over the phone and I can't find anything on the website to allow to cancel. I need to cancel this now. They continue to charge my account every month $60. What do I do?
Contact your bank, have them cancel the transactions, refund your money, cancel your current credit card and get a new one.
Hello,with me have also the 42,01 € deducted. But right from the map, which means I can not cancel it.How can I get back my money?Thanks in advance."
I was recently informed by a Nationwide statement that BOTMEDIAZ extracted money from my account. Whereas I therefore reported & said the company. I have no idea how they did this devious deed ...so beware check all of your bank/ building society statements!
How would I report it? They've done the same with me.
Have been charged even after I cancelled subscription.
Contact your bank for help.
How can I cancel my subscription?
You cannot trust the website to cancel, therefore, contact your bank and ask them to cancel the transactions and refund your money. Then ask your bank to cancel your current credit card and get a new.
Way, you take money from my bank account: I go to the police now.17-05-29 17-05-29 botmediaz.Com -441,35
If I cancel my credit card well they still access to my bank account?
No. And, if you were already charged, ask your bank to cancel those transactions and refund your money.
Is it possible to get my money back from these idiots? I'm gonna tell my bank to block any charges from them in the future but I would really like being able to get my money back that they already stole....
Your bank should be able to cancel the transactions alright made and refund your money.
