I downloaded a free app from the Apple app store and ended up at a website called tudum.co, where they trick you into providing information for their records for verification.
I downloaded the free app and when I opened it, I was immediately taken to a web form asking for my name, email address and credit card for verification purposes only. They said my card would not be charged. I thought this was the free app verification process, but it is a scam.
I had actually been subscribe to tudum.co and was then informed that, after 5 days, it would not be free. There were no explanations of exactly what the cost might be. When I tried to cancel, there was no way to do this online or via email, except through their contact form or via a contact phone number. I sent a cancel message via the form but the phone number said it wasn't available until weekdays. I received a member confirmation email but not cancellation confirmation.
As a result, I have cancelled my credit card and informed the credit card company about this and am checking my bank accounts. A charge of $1.00 had been made to my credit card via ent-hole.co, probably to make sure it was a valid card.
I hope this will be investigated and something done to prevent this kind of thing. These companies appear to be offshore.

Ditto. Worse yet chase bank is just as bad. They will only refund me for 60days. It my fault for not noticing sooner. No more paperless for me. First your scammed then your screwed. They're all thieves!
I noticed charges on my card monthly for about nine months from TOMUF.COM. When I inquired in their chat line what they were, they immediately took it upon themselves to cancel my subscription (which I never signed up for in any event). When I queried then about what service TOMUF.COM was giving me, to the tune of over $600 in 10 $50 /month payments, they said it was my subscription to tudum.co, a music and movie streaming service. Never used it, will likely never see my $600 again.
I was also scammed by the same company when I was trying to register for an account to purchase a burial site for a family member. When I called to cancel they had knowledge of the account, but was still taking money from my account. I have no words for businesses like that.I guess it's the kind of world we live in.
I was scammed by tudum also; there is a way to cx the 3rd party service the phone number is on the charge in your account
I want my money back. Supposed to be charged on December 19. I do not want. Mary E... Co...
Just found out that they charged my ard as well. Called them and they said it was my fault for signing up!Canceled my card and reported it as fraud with my bank.
Same thing happened to me. I'm trying to cancel
The QR code was posted at the pharmacy of my local grocery store. It said you had to scan to make a vaccination appointment with the pharmacist. Fast forward to today, and I see $1.95 billed that day and $39.95 billed five days later. I'm so mad!
To the best of my knowledge I did not even sign up and they hit my account for 1.95, then $39.95. I got those reversed then they hit it again for $4.95 and I got that reversed. Told them they were never authorized to use my card again.
I got tricked into signing up. It was under the guise of ordering drinks through remotely at a concert. I have sent emails. I called by they are not open on Sunday. I am going to report them through the federal trade commission.
I had same issue at a parking meter in Buffalo, NY
