Hello, i'm aware PlatinumBucks has been around for a long time and seems to be a big/good company, but i just experienced something AT LEAST odd which probably someone from the company should notice and take action on it ....

I was browsing the net trying to find a tool ( ffmpeg, an open source tool for video manipulation ), and i got to a site called baydownloads.com which seemed to have what i needed. So i had to pay a trial payment of 4.95 to get access to the package. Once i joined, the suscription form actually joined me to megadownloadpass.com ....

So, two options, or the scam site baydownloads.com which is proxying sales to megadownloadpass.com is from platinumbucks people OR an affiliate is doing a scam to get paid for adult suscriptions which probably will get a lot of charge backs ( I'm right now calling my bank to do so ... ).

Could someone from PlatinumBucks please contact me asap on icq cause this is a serious thing .... We are taking about fraud and clearly violation of the TOS of any serious CC processor ( At least the ones PB seems to be using Epoch/CCBILL/etc ) ....

On the other hand, leaving this fact behind, still when i try to cancel the trial membership, its being done very difficult .........

ICQ: 278-058-243, PLEASE CONTACT ME ASAP!
