Moved this to the site feedback section.

@Darren can you block this advertiser?

Yeah, I've seen this advertiser as well on this site, and it's a scam...

Something you should take away from this is to try not to click on advertisements on websites, as you never know if it's legit or a scam...

How did they get $70 from you? Did you give them credit card details? Did they provide any meaningful service for that $70? (all rhetorical questions).

If you used your card and they didn’t provide any meaningful service to you, the credit card company should refund the amount since it’s a scam.

Thanks for reporting the scam.

I think he is saying they asked for money, (and that's when he knew it was a scam), not that he actually gave out any.

This has just happened to my missus. Four $79.28 monthly payments from our bank account for something she inadvertently tapped on. Now in the process of having it refunded.
F@#king Cnuts!

Yeh they got my money, I thought it was a $2.00 signup fee for just commodores , I didn't realise it was a add ,( lesson learnt the hard way ) , I emailed them with some choice words and turns out in the small print it's a subscription where you pay $68 bucks a month and you get to ask them questions, I'm new to all this technology but I'm learning ( slowly ),

Did you give them your CC details? Can your bank block them from taking future payments from your account?
