Wife was looking for a movie last night and came across this lovely place...

Anyway, she figured she'll sign up and then see if the movie is there - $1.99 You need to register with details before being able to view the index and use the free 5 days. Sms hit - R 394.00 reserved for Side Tick TV.

She went to the bank today to dispute it. Took the cancelation e-mail as well as the inactive account e-mail from them to FNB. But that's not all she then was given the bank statement for the charges: R 394.00, R 22. odd and another R 22. odd. total R 438 some odd change. Bank cancelled the reservation.

So just a heads up to those guys who doesn't have in contact and what not. Stay away from these dodgy sites. Hope the wife has learnt her lesson. I was actually laughing a bit inside when she told me this morning... Just glad she got it sorted.

Every time I hear the missus say "I found this website but..." my eye twitches uncontrollably for a few seconds :D

:D

...and with my daughter it's "Dad, why is the computer so slow and how many times must I keep on clicking on the "Click here to win" buttons everywhere before I win anything?"

That's when both my eyes twitch.

Um no. if you really think that then you need to go sit in corner for a bit.

Less support for the industry means shows.

aka biting the hand that feeds.

Just stick to the normal places like Vudu, Ntv.mx, Netflix, Hulu, CBS and you'll be fine.
 
Standard rules in my family..

If something requires payment before seeing even the most basic of information about the service, then stay the fsck away.
 
So… what was the movie?
