Does anyone have any contact information for this company?
they are attempting to charge my CC every month like clock-work.Fortunately, I was smart enough to have used a 1-time use CC number so they're wasting their time.
More information should be posted about the fraudulent actions of this entity. and withdrew any kind of license to continue to deceive people.All amounts taken by them from the accounts of the injured should be demanded of them and returned to the victims. If I had not been warned by the bank of collection abuse, I would not have been aware of this fraud and by then it might have been too late. ATTENTION!!
it has taken my money from my account every time I credited, now it is almost euro 250, what can I do in order to be refunded?
Open a dispute with your bank.

I am not happy. I did make a mistake to give my card and they charge me without notice for $84,34. I don't know how to cancel
Me too. Just came from bank to check on my account. They took $80 in July and now another $80 this month. This is sick.I never signed up with this crazy thing. Is this related to Netflix?
No, it is not.
I keep getting notices about an iPhone from trackingservicen.com; when they look for personal details it leads on to a website: register.pickaflick.co; firstly I never ordered a phone but there is one for me[ apparantly] being held in some terminal; in order to get this delivered I am being asked to pay a small postage fee of 1 euro but to sign up for free to pickaflick- also- which is probably the scam.I am being asked for credit card details and they say I will not be charged for the trial period; am I being scammed[ I haven't given any personal details yet]
It happened with me, they took my money from the bank
I am in same situation right now.
They stole 67.31 from my account and I didn't even sign up with them? I don't get it.
Open a dispute with your bank to have your money. Then, cancel your card and get a new one.
Please take my "membership" off your list. I'M NOT INTERESTED
I am getting notifications about an iphone from some thing called rackingservice.en; when asked for my details this becomes register.pickaflick.co; they want my bank details for a charge of 1 euro for delivery of phone; they say its a postal charge also that its afree trial subscription.My son some time ago did try to order an iphone using my credit card but wasn't able to complete the purchase so I'm suprised to keep getting these notifications; I suspect a scam- am I right to do so?!

I am an OAP and at present do have my whits about me but what about the other poor people!!

Received via email:"Hello,Thank you for the information provided concerning this malicious website. Recently they have charged my credit card with almost 50 eur, although I have not given any permission to do so. The only thing I have ever done was when I was looking for a movie to watch, and on youtube I found it, and then from this website there was a link that brought me directly to this malicious pickaflick website. They displayed info that they have the movie and asked to pay for watching it. Therefore, I entered my credit card details (oops, sorry for that now, if I only knew...I am very careful about providing my personal data, but wanted to watch the movie lawfully from the one who claims to have the right to show it!), but then the website started "experiencing problems" and the operation never succeeded, it just crashed and crashed several times...I have not given any permissions for any monthly deductions or so. This happened about a month and a half ago, and today I noticed that my credit card had been charged unilaterally by this pickaflick.I had to block the credit card, there was no other way to avoid the payments, as I did not want to visit the malicious website once again, where they ask to delete the account in order to stop charging payments. I hope that the relevant institutions are notified of this fraudulent website and it will be closed, because it is still working for some reason and the people are getting robbed...Agne Bivainyte"
Pick a flick is taking money from my credit card, and I don't know what it's for. If I subscribed by mistake, how can I cancel?
You cannot trust them to cancel, open a dispute with your bank to have your money refunded and then cancel your credit card and get a new one to prevent them from charging you in the future.
Received via email:"Hi, I have a bank charge for Flick Support Com *Barueri. Can you tell me what this is and how do I cancel it?I have no recollection of signing up for it and when I tried to find it It said no evidence of my account.I will be taking this to my lawyer and the media if this cannot be resolved. Thank you Jenny."
Hi, did you get an answer about it. I have the same charge.
I have been scammed $AU68.68 without ever having heard of it, let alone logging in on this fraudulent site. How do I stop them, please?
Cancel your credit card and get a new one.
I haven't provide any bank details so is there any chance of the scammer getting me? But they got my number and I dont know how.
I have been scammed too. My credit card company sent me a new card and the c..ts still managed to extort money.How is this even possible? I have now told my cc company to close my account and I will no longer bank with them after their abysmal attitude towards me over this fraud!
Have had the same happen to me.Bank could not stop the withdrawals so have to close my account all due to dodgy,dog scammers who should be charged.
they have been withdrawing upto $74.00 every three weeks, three times. Bank cant seem to help, please advise
cancel your card
Cancel your credit card to stop the charges and get a new one.
my computer screen is frozen to their site and all I did was click on their ad, I didn't even sign up and I'm unable to click off even when I unplug my computer and sign back on. They are holding my computer hostage in a sense, if that isn't unscrupulous I don't know what is then.
I just felled for this scam as well :/ They immediately charged me with a couple of transactions amounting to about 6 USD, but am unable to deregister my account from them - the button is greyed out.
Pick a flick tried to robber me through, harvey norman i'd won a t.V just pay $4.95,i payed pick a flick instead ?Couldn't get through to harvey norman.then cancelled the subscription strait away , 1 week later pick a flick tried to helping them self to $79, now the fraud squad has canceled my card. how do these people get away with this ?p.S why are they not stopped?
I was charged € 49.99 for a canceled contract one hour after I had taken a trial, this happened 15 days ago, how should I ask for a refund ?.Peter
That's so unfair; how that happened; tell your bank so they don't take it again or you might have to get a new card if it was thru Visa
I just was told I won a Coles monthly comp and can get a SAMSUNG tv they want my credit card details etc at hxxp://ril.uk/8enu/A72j .Has anyone else had this and what happened.
If you give them your credit card information they will continuously and fraudulently charge it without your consent.
Dispute the charges with your bank and have them cancel the transaction and refund your money.Remember, the website is being operated by scammers who will never refund your money and who will continue to charge your card, even when they claimed they have canceled your membership.
Cancel my account immediately. This request is being made within one hour of signing up for a free 7 day trial so there should be no charge to my account.
Pickaflick.co charged me 49,99€ for nothing.Jone
They have just taken 45pounds out of account pls help, my bank can't do nothing about it
So, how can I unsubscribe from Pickaflick? Please help or can blocking my card help?rgdssyfty
Blocking your card will help because they cannot trust the thieves to unsubscribe you.
A charge appeared on my credit card, which I do not recognize. Upon investigation, you gave me all the data of my credit card or my email. They inform me that the service, supposedly contracted, was being used by the I.P. 18923816272, that I.P. It has never been used and is available. What's up? You are committing fraud because I have the talk in my power and it is the only charge that I do not recognize, because I have never acquired your service. I have long been with Netflix and Roku, why would I need an additional service?
this is a fraudulent site that claims to be carrying a film I produced. They must have uploaded the film illegally. Beware of these crooks.
I was charged by this online scammer and was charged with USD 49.99 without my knowledge nor have I done any transaction with them. This incident has been reported by me to my credit line provider.
... and they've cancelled my cards and will issue me with new cards.
