Users have reported a suspected scam involving a website called Digitalizze.co, which claims to be a movie streaming app. Several people have reported being tricked into signing up for a membership and providing their credit card information, only to be charged unauthorized fees. Some users mentioned that Digitalizze.co appeared while they were trying to access other services such as restaurant payment apps, QR code readers, or health and fitness trackers, and was disguised to look like the service they intended to use.
Many users reported difficulty in contacting the company or canceling their membership, as the website does not provide a feature to cancel the service. Some users were able to cancel their membership by calling a call center that services multiple websites, but this approach was not always successful.
One user, a German consumer fraud investigator, urged victims to report the issue to their local police or other consumer protection agencies, and mentioned that the scam appears to be part of a large network targeting millions of people in multiple countries. Another user advised contacting the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) in the United States for assistance in stopping the scam.

digitalizze.co looks like a suspicious organization. Their sign up web link was attached to my restaurant bill payment app. Cleverly disguised to look like the restaurant billing app and asks for name, credit card no, exp date, cvv number, etc. just like the restaurant app. However, when finished all entries and press enter then find out I have subscribed to their membership at $39.99 per month. Watch out for these scammers!!!

Yep. For me, it was their QR code reader app that I downloaded from the App Store. I was in a hurry in the pet emergency clinic to check her in and didn't scrutinize it close enough. Fortunately, I was using my credit card and can quickly dispute it with their help!

I forgot to say that my password was included in the body of the "thank you" email. I had to go change any other accounts/subscriptions where I had used that password.

I was trying to subscribe service on AI which I knew was free. This digitalizze.co linked to that website and it said it's free, making me assume it is that AI website. After they sent me the subscription email, I found I registered wrong. I tried to call them and chat with them online, but they say they are closed now, I have to wait until their work hours from 9:00AM to 9:00PM EST. At their website, there is no feature to cancel membership, like the regular normal subscription service. I called my bank, and found them already charged $1 on my credit card, guess they are trying to see if the card is real or not.

I ordered a health & fitness tracker through my Medicare advantage plan. Followed the instructions to download the QR code to initialize the watch.
wanted information to set up account including credit card number. I didn’t like doing this for something that was supposed to be free, but did it anyway.
watch doesn’t work, my login doesn’t work. Phone calls to company unanswered.
only received email that my account will be charged 39.95 every month!

This company uses deceptive marketing and scammy fraudulent means of obtaining subscribers. I don't know if the service is legit, but the call center was able to cancel my membership when i called (however the call center is one that services a lot of websites, and it seems the website is shoddily run) I accidentally signed up as a subscriber when ordering at a restaurant because this website ad popped up and made it look like i needed to enter my information in order to proceed with my restaurant order. The ad was a pop up ad from google and the app that i used on my android (QR scanner) is also to blame because it allowed a pop up ad to block me from accessing the restaurant menu. It's normal to enter credit card info when ordering online at a restaurant, so i fell for it. Very stupid of me, but also the website is purposely set up to scam folks who aren't paying close attention.
It is a predatory website subscription service..

I was also scammed by these fucktards. I was supposed to be getting a 14 day free trial of an app. Immediately got a notification from my CC company about the charge. Declined it. Also got an email about a "5-day free trial" even though they had already charged my credit card 39.95. Tried to call - not there over weekend. SCAM. FRAUD. ILLEGAL. Unfortunately, like others, I was on a different site so didn't even know I was getting charged by these a-holes.

Hi, I am a german consumer fraud investigator and I know digitalizze.co from my research. Where do you come from? I ask you to report this to the police and please tell me in which city/country. I urgently need valid cases to get the prosecutor's ear...
From what I know this is a HUGE network of rip-off in dozens of countries trageting at millions of people. You are not alone. Please provide more details. If you manage to avoid a payment on your credit card please ask your cc comapny about the decriptor (who wanted money from you?)
This informatzion is crucial for further investigations. Best regards, Ch.B.

@ Shana, @Lisa L - Same thing happened to me on Feb 25, 2023. I downloaded a QR Code Scanner. Next thing I know, I received an email saying my credit card will automatical withdrawed $39.95 every 30 days until I stop my membership with them. What membership? I never signed up for their membership nor I know there is such thing. They have a very goofy web address "digitalizee.co" which impossible to contact them. Even Google can't find that address. Google thinks that is a misspelled adress. They don't even have any phone number for me to call.
Can you two ladies explain how you contacted them to "cancel your memmbership" and to stop them from charging your credit card monthly? Does apply for a new credit card help in this case? Thank you so much for your help.

This just happened to me as well on March 4/23, by way of using the QR Code app (which I have used before), but in this case it provided a link for Digitalizze, which turned out to be a bait-and-switch from what I originally expected to link to. Alarm bells should have gone off when this free app I was supposed to be downloading requested credit card information...and then voila, I was subscribed do some BS services I never wanted.
Apparently I was in the midst of a 5 day free trial, after which I would be charged $30.95 per month for whatever online video service they were providing.
I was able to dig into the website and do an email/text based request to "Unsubscribe" immediately; this morning (the following day) I tried to re-access my account online and it didn't work, and when I asked them to connect with me for a password reset, my email address no longer appears to be in their database.
As of right now, I currently have a pending charge of $1.36 from "Tearthehouse.net" on my credit card; it is the weekend so perhaps it will be cleared up on its own, but I am connecting with my credit card company to ensure this gets rectified.
What a pain. And what a crappy looking website Digitalizze is offering, even if it is a legitimate site. Their way of obtaining subscribers, however, definitely not legit.

Yep, they just got me, too. Tried to update my kindle app, these scammers made it seem like I was doing that for free, then it said it was free for 5 days after I’d already given my credit info. I went on their site to unsubscribe an hour ago, hit send, still not sending. How the hell do I get out of this???

Nobody brings this to the attention of the FTC or other aurhorities. I filed a complaint at the registrar of the websites but they only act if asked so by an authority.
As long as everybody is lucky when he gets the money back this can go on and on.
So US residents contact FTC - I already brought the case to the attention of the FTC.
Do the same. We need activity by the victims to save other victims in future.

We need to bring this to the attention of the authorities. The sad truth is: If a victim gets back the money it will not care about getting the fraudsters.
So anyone should file a complaint at FTC whether there is a damage or not. It is crucial.

My boss's card was used for two charges, one on March 11 ($4.95), one on March 15 ($39.95). it showed up as "Hellonwee.com" on the credit card. I called them and they said it was for Digitalizze.co streaming services.
My boss read through these comments and said he never clicked anything, scanned a QR code or had to enter his card number. We are reporting as fraud with the credit card company.
@Bofat - we are in Eugene, Oregon, USA - I hope you get these bad actors!

If you try the link above and enter fantasy data you'll end up at digitalizze.co
In the sourcecode of topcontent-entertainment.com you find a line referring to a specific host at2010.net
This server is related to a German stock company which allegedly is related to all the problems. At the moment we don't see sites targeting German consumers, that's why our hands are tied. There had been reports about a similar case in Germany by German consumer agencies. I hope that the FTC in the US will get your reports. Feel free to show them my comments here. Maybe we could assist an investigation. I guess that there are different ways to lead you to the final subscription trap. This may work via a website with lots of traffic, via banner ads or via apps (QR code reader). I hope we get them soon :)

Hi James, you cannot cancel here. u168057... is an user name they gave to you. I guess you did not enter a user name. This is a subscription trap and you are not alone. This is an international network of consumer ripoff. File a complaint at the FTC please. And check your credit card. You may have got a phone number in the payment description. Perhaps it works for you.
best of luck

I also got into this mess. I was parking my car to get to a concert I was late for. There was a sign at the parking lot that made it seem like it was an app to pay for parking. After putting my information in it takes me to this site that looks like a streaming site with movies that nobody would be excited about watching. Didn't ask for my parking space or license plate like other parking apps. I noticed there was a kiosk where I was able to pay for parking. The next morning I check my email and saw the email that digitalizze sent me thanking me for subscribing and that they would charge me $50 a month. (Considerably more than HBO or Netflix). There is no way to cancel from their site and the phone number they give is disconnected. I canceled my debit card. What a pain. When I get my new card I will have to go to all my bills and subscriptions to update. Is the owner of the parking lot working with scammers? Because the sign looked legit and was very misleading. It said nothing about a streaming service and the context was all about parking. I hope they get sued.

Hi! The trick is the QR scanner. If you use it, you get a link to an advertisement, not the QR code. The QR reader profits from the fraud, so they should be seen as coconspirators.
Please file a complaint at the FTC and feel free to link to the discussion here.
I am from Germany and my suspicion is, that a German company is related here. But the streaming sites don't work in Germany - so there is nothing I can do from here...
