Is Geeker a Scam or Legit Content Streaming Website?
Is Geeker a Scam or Legit Content Streaming Website?

Geeker located at www.geeker.com is a fraudulent content streaming website. The website which claims it is your best option to keep yourself entertained for hours because you will be able to find movies, music, and books to suit whatever mood you are in, is similar to the fraudulent websites: lilplay.com and tzarmedia.com. Online users who have used their credit cards on the fraudulent website, run the risk of their cards being fraudulently charged for undetermined amounts, even when they have canceled their subscriptions. Therefore, do not even think about contacting their customer support or service.

Geeker at www.geeker.com

www.geeker.com

I have tried the website and it keeps charging my credit card, even though I have canceled my subscription before the trial period ended. And, the website doesn't have some movies, books, and music it has advertised. I think this is another trick used to lure potential victims to the website.

Another reason I don’t trust www.geeker.com is because of the fake “VeriSign Secured” seal or logo.

The Fake VeriSign Secured Seal or Logo

VeriSign Secured  Seals or Logos

The security and trusted seal/logo on the website’s page that asks for credit card information is not clickable, which means it is a fake. Legitimate trusted seals or logos should be clickable because this allows visitors to the same website to view the legitimacy of the seals or logos. Once visitors click on the seals, it should take them to VeriSign website, where they will be provided with information about the same website.

Online users who have already subscribed to services on www.geeker.com are asked to contact their credit card company or bank for help to prevent the fraudulent website from fraudulently charging their credit cards, or refund their money if their cards were already charged.

There are just so so many fraudulent "tech/help" sites on line it's not advisable to trust Google's tele#s.

To be safe go to your computer's site (ex. Apple, Google/Chrome, etc.) & ask them directly.

Also, beware of VIZTECH - it's a parent company to many of these scammers.

Hi, I'm from trinidad, for the past four years I've been charged us$55.95 every month by geeker.com on my credit card which I never authorise or sign up for.

I taught it was bank charges when I saw it and never took it on until 11.11.2018 when I never used my card and was charged by geeker.com for nothing.

F**king fake. I hope my bank can shut them down and recover all my money lost.

Thiefโ€™s, thiefโ€™s, thiefโ€™s, my bank called me today and they have attempted have attempted to debit my account 5 tines. Luckily, my bank declined it every time. My bank will not allow transactions that come from other countries.

No bank should allow that without contacting the person first.
Especially if it comes from a Great Britain, which is the number one country for fraudulent activity. Geeker is a fraudulent sting out of Great Britain.

They've charged me โ‚ฌ19.95 for 11 months. Because it was done via paypal there was no way I could have traced where it came from. Contacted my bank and they are gonna send a request to the site where they have to prove that the charges were correct. They have 60 days to respond and if they respond incorrectly or don't respond at all I will get my money back.

Similar to the person from Minnesota geeker.com has been taking $29.95 from my account for months. Fortunately, my bank (Chase) called me as they had heard that this site was a scam site. Unfortunately, I'm out several hundred dollars as they've been taking that amount monthly for the past 5 months. I've never even gone to their site, nor heard of them. I have no idea how they gained access to my credit card account.

I have never even heard of this site until I noticed the withdrawals, stating from Jan.2017. I noticed it in Aug.2017. I called WellsFargo and they ordered me a new card and only paid me back for two months...I filed a fraud report and waited the 90 day period for investigation. I called after 90days and they said no response from Geeker and there is nothing else they can do...So I'm out almost $400.00, and the phone number WellsFargo gave me was to a Linen Co.in New York!! Do I have any more rights to recover my money that was illegally taken from me?

This company, Geeker.com keeps appearing on my credit card. I called to cancel the account and was told no one was available to speak to me. I tried the website and there is no way to cancel the account it only takes you to a sign-up page. I plan on going to the FBI internet fraud unit, they have been helpful before.

I wanted to watch the Alabama/Florida game the other day and when I typed in live stream Al/FL Game it directed me to a site called discsplay.com. It said I could watch the game after I created an account. With a 7 day free trial. It assured me repeatedly that my account would not be charged. Turned out to be Geeker.com. They have charged my card 4 times since Saturday. Today is Tuesday. I have been scammed. And, I am very angry. I am curious as to why nobody has reported them to BBB? I looked and they had no record of them being reported.

I signed up through YouTube.. after the cancelation of membership after the free trial they keep on charging you.
They don't reply when you send for support. The worst kind of scam sites you can imagine. Wish they burn in h**l. Had to find out I was charged when my card was declined in a store. I was petrified.. they don't give you a heads up email.. like their job is to make you feel small and worthless.

They just got me thru youtube. Tried to charge me $34.95. I live chatted with someone who couldn't even get my name right. EMILLI was the person. Wish I had seen this sooner. I hope the email confirming everything is legit.

I just had EmilI today too. Seems to be a default name. Said it was cancelled and I would be refunded 29.95 even-though they have been charging since June. I am just going to cancel my card and see if my bank can refund at all.

If you have already submitted your credit card information, contact your bank and have them cancel the transaction and put things in place to prevent the website from charging your card.

They charged our account 3 times -29.00 each from the end of July till the first part of Aug. We didn't know till we received our bill. We contacted them right away and were told we would receive the money refunded in 5 to 10 days. They are getting pretty bold by charging 3 times in less than a month. We found this out yesterday 8-21-17. Do not assume your credit card statement is correct. CHECK IT EVERY MONTH.

They tricked me and was able to get US$40 from me. I didn't realize until months after when it was too late for my bank to do anything about. From now on, I will check my credit card statement keenly every month.

Wow, so I was right about to sign up on geeker.com but I saw I had to enter my credit card info, the reason was apparently for your address or something. Which I found invalid but the reason I immediately became suspicious was that it would cost me NOTHING even though I'm gonna watch everything I want online for FREE BUT they still wanted my credit card number...

I'm so glad I live on the paranoid side of life and I looked it up before doing anything I would have regretted. I mean, I have Netflix but even there I can't watch everything I want so I wanted to watch this one particular movie and thought they'd have it but it kinda leads me from one website to another what had already made me somewhat suspicious.

Really thanks man, you saved me. And good luck to everyone who's experiencing problems because of this.

Wow, as soon as I had trouble getting the Continue button to respond after I had entered my credit card 3 separate times, I suspected something was up. I googled Geeker and found this page about it being a fraud. I immediately called my credit card company and had them cancel my card, within just minutes of signing up. Thanks for the heads up. You prevented a nightmare.

I was looking for a book online and found this website. Honestly guys, DO NOT fall for the professional looking webpage. That was what happened to me; I thought it looked legit so I sign up for it since they offered the free trial within 5 days.

Asked for my card details and I naively gave it to them; Couldn't find the book I was looking for after signing up and I started to feel kind of off. I got an email after a few minutes stating that I'd sign up for the premium membership even though I did not. Immediately cancelled the trial and they were already charging me $1.01 despite promises that I would not be charged.

I looked up reviews about this website and decided to cancel my debit card and got a new one. Whole card replacement process only took 15 minutes.

How do these people sleep at night? Like, they just lie straight to your face and act like they meant no harm. I read some of the messages their people reply to their scammed users, And I'm disgusted by how shameless they are. People would complain and they would give back robotic answers that won't solve anything.

I would advise anyone who fell for the scam to immediately contact their bank and have their cards replaced. It's a bit of an inconvenience, but it's better than letting those b******s steal your money. Doesn't matter how little or how they take, they have NO right to steal from people!

July 28, 2017, apx 3am Central Daylight Time --
I found "Watch32.LA" (I capitalize ONLY to clarify the two particular two characters), a website (I-thought) for downloading movies.

(Watch32.is HAS BEEN a site that allows download of files.)
However, when I attempted to download one, I was directed to Geeker.com.
Fortunately, I check with your website (re Geeker.com) before proceeding.

It definitely seems to me, that Geeker.com has "set up" Watch32.LA, as an additional phishing website
(i.e., to funnel victims to Geeker.com!).

Thanks for your vigilance. Hopefully, my contribution will help others.

I was nearly up to use "Geeker". But there was an inner voice that warned me. I'm used to follow my inner voice, so I gave in the search-question "Geeker what is it?" And here I go. Thank you so much for your warning, dear friends.

Lost amounts of money on Geeker over a few months, from my Debit/ATM Card. Since they were small amounts, I guess the bank alerts didn't work... Rs. 199, Rs. 131, Rs 196 over 3 months.

The bank pleaded helplessness since it was a debit card that was used, not credit card. Their advice was to apply for a new card, which I have done.
