Musikmac scam - How to remove

Musikmac is a rogue music-provider that pledges to operate with an satisfying database of songs. Users are promised to enjoy features of listening to music directly from their browsers and the recordings will be up to the highest quality possible. Additionally, it is explained that service is very fast and clients won’t have any issues while trying to quickly transfer from one song to another. People are welcome to tryout the service for a free trial which will last 5 days. Even though Musikmac emphasizes that this trial is free-of-charge, it requires users to reveal their banking account information.

During the registration process, there is a section called “Payment Information”. Users are insisted to fill in unnecessary details in the blank spaces. For instance, 3 digit card verification value number is one of the required details. Scammers are fond of this trick and many unreliable online services are pursuing this strategy as well. However, the controllers of Musikmac are explaining that the payment information is only required in case a client decides to continue on using the service. After 5-day-trial is concluded, $49.95 will be automatically taken out of the indicated banking account.

Many former users are reporting that they lost money after agreeing to take part in the alleged free trial. People indicated that even though they attempted to cancel their trial before it was too late, the service pretended that this did not occur. As a consequence, nearly $50 were sent to the owners of this rogue service. The thing that causes the biggest disruption is that some victims had never heard of this music-supplier but somehow managed to become members anyway.

What should you do if this scam bills you for $50 dollars?

If you notice that an odd transaction was sent to this service, you should immediately take action. The first step is to contact your bank representatives, explain the situation and cancel the transaction. Also, you should block this service so no further transactions would be made without your consent. Victims have also attempted to get back their money by contacting the rogue service itself.

It appears that mostly an automated message was the one that they were greeted by. If victims sent email letters, they would receive awfully-polite messages back, stating that the service does not support the refund function. Basically, they cheated you and they do not care of the circumstances as they have no obligation to return money they swindled.

Since some people that suffered financial losses because of this service explain that they did not sign up for it, you have to extremely careful during your browsing. Scammers could be designing malicious pop-ups, transmitting tracking technologies or requiring users to disclose personally-identifiable information (like banking account info).

What is more, a malware parasite could be affecting your operating system and tracking your every move in the online world.
