Is Media Craze a Scam or is it Legit? Review of mediacraze.net

A complete scam. A pop up flashed on my screen when I was doing a credit card transaction. I only saw the part about deducting a pound for unlimited streaming, which I didn't want, then the pop up disappeared. They have been billing me £24.99 a month on my credit card.

Scammed also. I was charged £29.99 by Thedarkred.net and when you go onto the site it's a U.S. site, something I definitely hadn't signed up for. I took a chance and contacted their Chat option and to my surprise was answered. The result is that they were able to identify my email address as having requested a subscription to Mediacraze. After pushing a bit they are refunding me 2 x £29.99 which was taken out in early Feb and March from my debit card. This is because I had like many clicked the wrong section on the RingGo app - surely RingGo are aware of this now? I see that the Mediacraze website is now a domain for sale!
I have an emailed transcript of the chat I had today with Thedarkred.net so at least have something to show my bank (who have been investigating separately and cancelled my card) should I not receive the promised refund. I have also asked Thedarkred.net to ensure my email details, debit card etc.are all deleted securely). Really hope this resolves the situation now.

Hi. I too had contacted TheDarkRed.net about Mediacraze and was fortunate enough to have contact with them via the Chat service and was refunded 2 x £29.99 promptly. I hope the same happens for you and anyone else who has commented on here seeking a refund.

Is it resolved?

Yearning to all customers. No this company is under investigation in the United Kingdom as fraudulent.They take money in the form of direct payments and not return when asked to do so by customers. Mediacraze do not work with other providers such as Netflix or Prime video. This scam has happened to myself and Medicare's will be personally taken to court by myself if payment not returned by end Mon.6.23 I will be putting a C.C.J against this company. Iyve had to report this to my bank Nationwide and had my card stopped.Penalty in United Kingdom is £500.00 to every customer scammed from Feb 1st 2023.ordered by Wiltshire Council member.Symon Targett.email=targettsymon@gmail.com phone no 07752483862.

HI Symon. See my comment below from today (20/03/23) - it may help if you try same?

I was looking for some sheet music and found myself on Media Craze's website where I was invited to download the song I was looking for at no cost. Further information suggested that all I had to do was set up an account, give my credit card details and, unless I cancelled my membership with 5 days, I would be charged £29.99 per month.
I proceeded to do so and debit of £1 appeared. I assumed this was just to establish my card details for a future withdrawal.
Shortly afterwards I got an urgent call from my card issuer (John Lewis Card now run by Newday). As I hadn't had an e-mailed confirmation I realised that they were correct in assuming that this was a fraud. They cancelled my card at once and are sending me out a new one.
Evidently lots of people have suffered loss from this scam so I am relieved and reassured to know that my card issuer was so diligent.

Tried to download Costa coffee app. Inadvertently signed up to this scam ..mediacraze...trying desperately to get out of it

Scam, when linking a Sonos speaker to mobile I was linked to media craze screen to register credit card for free membership in case we chose to upgrade.
Luckily the banks now have extra verification process which I didn’t authorise but will cancel card also as recommended on here too.
Makes me feel old

As above, I was installing a Firestick when the instruction came on my tv screen, I scanned the QR and followed instructions thinking it was Amazon, confirmed with the bank as said above, then I realised on the same day it was a scam, they took a pound from my card, I have cancelled my card on the same day and asked the bank to look into it .

Got caught out by this too. My bank clocked it but I confirmed I had done the transaction as had not realised it was a scam at that point.
Have since cancelled my card to play safe.
