MbContact.com
Scam

Hi

I too was the victim of an MBContact scam in December. I agreed to download I-Tunes for my daughter in anticipation of her I-Pod for Christmas. We clicked on the site at the top of Google for I-Tunes, followed through the form and it came up with the option of a 3-year membership with unlimited free downloads for £33.62 GBP.

I stupidly gave my debit card details and it came up as confirmed. It was when it did not link in properly with I-Tunes and Apple my fears that I had been conned became realised. I contacted I-Tunes direct who told me that they do not do 3-year or any other such deals. They only provide downloads per tune requested. They told me I had been the victim of a fraud and they said they would notify Apple. I immediately cancelled my debit card. However, it was too late to stop the payment. I will never do online debit card transactions again after this. I have learned a bitter lesson.

A friend showed me that what distinguished the site on Google we had clicked on was that there was a capital A in the Apple bit when others had it in lower case. This is something we had not checked. When a site is high up on Google, it is easy for anyone to be caught. With all these complaints about MbcONTACT, why have Google not shut down this site?

I likewise have tried contacting MbContact to try and get my money back for a service they did not provide, and you can guess: they have not responded to my request. Where are these guys based? What jurisdiction do they come under?
