Is fraavy.com a Scam? Fraavy Unwanted Charges

I scanned a QR code for a Lumos Learning book to access their online content associated with my purchase. I didn't realize it was "Fraavy" and assumed Lumos wanted to verify my payment information to make sure I was the one who purchased the book. I didn't see the content, so I typed the web address from the Lumos book which took me to the correct website.

I was suspicious of course and Googled "Fraavy" and came across others with similar scenarios. There was a $1 draft on my bank account. I called my bank immediately and canceled my card.

I will absolutely be more vigilant when scanning QR codes from now on. I never realized this could be an issue!

They have created a new website called starller.com. Both websites use 1 833 213 1891 as their telephone number.

Attempting to down load an app for a LG TV from the play store. Thought it was strange that I had to give my credit card info to get the app. Then the fraavy app opened on my phone. No icon showed up on the phone. I called and they said it would be canceled, don't believed them. Called the bank canceled the card. Hope that is the end of it.

Same. Used the "Parkmobile" app and they piggy backed on my credit card purchase because in NO WAY did I knowingly see their name or was I prompted for a verification of their service. Someone at the FBI needs to step in here.

Same. Got a "trial subscription" to "Fraavy" but don't even know how or how they got my card number. Our bank called us as this company obviously has a record by now. After reading comments saying that even when the subscription is supposed to be cancelled it remains open I decided to just cancel the debit card and hope the bank's fraud department will shut "Fraavy" & "Moolitma.net" down!

Fraavy highjacked an Uber app. Charged credit card $1.00 immediately which I found when I called my credit card company within 10 minutes. Who regulates these jerks online? Congressional action is needed to ensure these kinds of scams are eradicated and those responsible are prosecuted.
