Once you sign up, it automatically cascades to other sites which begin issuing charges to your credit card.
I was led to there site via search for ebook... falsely stating it was available, but not, after signing up. If that's not fraud, I don't know what is. Unauthorized credit card charges, definitely is fraud, regardless of what may be in their Terms-of-Agreement.

Once I signed-up, I realized that I must be stupid, as I got no email confirmations. First chance I got, I canceled my credit card. Some charges made it through... totaling $6.87, with 800 number to call. I contacted them and they informed me that other charges in excess of $100 had been attempted but rejected... and my account would be closed.

They didn't question rejected charges, and acted as if this was common procedure. This company and its websites should be banned for this... I am not looking forward to being bombarded by email spammers. I caught it before any real damage... but what a pain!!! I did get a reply email when the cs-rep told me to send an email for a refund of the $6.87 charges.

Got emails for canceled subscriptions from cs@jettcs.com

Thank you so much!!! You definitely help me. I tried to click on their customer support links but I got nothing from them. I'm not in US, so, it was not easy for me to make a call to their (maybe fake) customer support number.

Btw, did you get the refund? It costs me 6.87 from 3 websites, too. Dowloadpass, Vipbookmark and discountvideopass.com. I was sooo nervous :(

Million Thanks!

Hell I agree!

Luckaly I did a google search before I decided to sign up.
After reading all the bad experiences, I ended up trying to trace the website detail location at:
http://www.webnic.cc/cgi/whois.cgi and typed in "downloadnova.com" and hit the search button. It gives you full details of who actually is the register contact. Some company in Singapore named Katz Global Domain Name Trust with phone numbers and all. It even mentions when the expirydate of the site.

I looked on the website of Katz; They host websites on an anonymous basis, though they have the following policies:

In their "acceptable use" -policy (http://www.katzglobal.com/hosting/acceptable_use.html) it states that, among other things they don't accept:
* Other Illegal Activities: Engaging in activities that are determined to be illegal, including advertising, transmitting, or otherwise making available ponzi schemes, pyramid schemes, fraudulently charging credit cards, and pirating software.
* Spamming: Sending unsolicited bulk and/or commercial messages over the Internet (known as "spamming"). When a complaint is received, Katz Global Media has the discretion to determine from all of the evidence whether the e-mail recipients were from an "opt-in" e-mail list. We do not allow large mass mailings of any sort even if they are opt-in.

You can write them an e-mail with a complaints by third parties (=us!) at:
info@katzglobal.com
legal@katzglobal.com
domaintrust@katzglobal.com

I already wrote a message to them... maybe you can send a complaint as well to push them a little bit?
And if you really want to make an effort you can call the Singapore Police:

Keep me posted! (f_den_haas@hotmail.com)

Wishing I'd read this before I gave my visa details. Only got concerned when I didn't get a confirmation email - got some porn thing instead.

Now I'm going to have to cancel my card!
