Online Threat Alerts (OTA) - Alerting you to scams and frauds.
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
Estoy tratando de comunicarme con ustedes para decirles por que razón me sacan dinero de mI cuenta sin autorización yo estuve localizándolos para cancelar y no tienen ninguna información ya dI parte a mI cuenta De Bank ya los reporteI am trying to contact you to tell you why they take money from my account without authorization. I was locating them to cancel and they do not have any information already given to my Bank account and I reported them.
How can I unsubscribe from tudum.com? I've NEVER subscribed to this! I've NEVER Heard of them before! I want them out of my life!
How can I cancel Tudum? I want nothing to do with them.
I had the same problem. They recognized the merchandise but only 1 item shown. And still have not received my.
What is sadder is I got signed up for this service by scanning a QR at a city parking lot and thinking I was paying for parking. They store your password in plain text and then send you an email with your password in plain text. This is a huge security issue and it is pathetic that a city would be a part of tricking its citizens to sign up for this app.
I too got signed up byscanning a QR at a city parking lot.
hat these scammers have charged me $39.95 recurring for 8 months, they stole $320. I had to go to my bank today and cancel my account. I have no idea how these slimedogs got my financial info. I will not rest till these criminals are in prison! We should also hold some of these 3rd party billing companies that are in bed with tudum accountable. It's beyond belief that these scammers are apparently getting away with this! I have compiled a list of so-called billing companies that are helping tudum rip us off these fake billing companies that are in bed with tudum know what's going on and need to be held accountable and prosecuted to the full extent of the lawnkedsumgam.com flashpartyhub.com theworf.com thedarksa 8-ks.net CONTENTBODE.CO CHARSAND.COM SHGRILDEEH.com. co-hit.net Justimagineview.com houseoflordmark.us mastonstre.com abhelpline.com Diststal.comprdifl.com.

I just discovered today that I too somehow was scammed by tudum.co. They were charging me $39.95 for this alleged streaming service AND another $4.95 EACH month supposedly for an alleged movie rentalthat I never rented!I was able to speak to someone on the phone who was very stingy with any information and offered to "cancel my subscription". I told her this sounded very scam like< if not even illegal. I immediately called my bank to file a diute dispute and looked on line for info about 'tudum'. I found a plethora of articles & reviews about what a scam organization they are AND they're affiliated with Netflix! Unbelievable how they are so comfortable stealing money from people!
There are people who wrote some pretty harsh words and I agree.Got ripped off by trusting people.Earn your way in the world.How can you live with yourself.Leave us decent people alone.I will travel if need be!!!
