Online Threat Alerts (OTA) - Alerting you to scams and frauds.
Scamming - Fraud
FilesFetcher is another fraudulent website created by scammers to trick online users into registering, by advertising files that they do not have, or books or movies files that they have illegally uploaded. Once online users have registered on the website, they will be charged, even if they only signed up for the 7-day trial period and cancel before it expires. And, the fraudulent website will charge members for canceling their 7-day trial period subscription. Also, FilesFetcher will continuously charge their ex-members different amounts of money, even though they are not using the website, or had requested that the FilesFetcher cancel their membership.
Members of FilesFetcher are asked to contact their banks to block the transactions from FilesFetcher.com or let their banks cancel their current credit card and give them a new one. This is because the FilesFetcher.com cannot be trusted when it comes to cancelling their members' subscription. They may claim that they have canceled their members' subscription, but will continue to charge their credit cards.

I have given my credit card details to activate the 7 days trial but was unsuccessful in downloading anything. I recently received my credit card bill which contained the charge of $83.45 incurred during he supposed free trial period.Should I make a police report or just terminate the card (to prevent further charges)? I am in any case disputing the charge with my credit card co.
Same thing here and i'm so angry. I dont have any money to through like This. Did your credit Card co. refund?
Just contact your bank to cancel your card, and go to your bank and cancel your account as well because the same happened to me and I cancelled my card but they kept on charging my account so the bank said I have to close my account and make a new one.
omgggg! I just registered on this site before I read this post! but after I type in my credit card information the site tells me that the verification failed, will they charge me if I didn't successfully register?
Once they have your credit card they will always attempt to charge it. But, it seems your bank may have blocked the transaction. Contact them for help.
Beware, they are now using fake Facebook profile to contact you and trick you into registering a 1 year free account!Some people are charged 60 USD per months!
