“Fake website”

Jennifer V.
3/1/20

Lead to it via an academic website, felt uncomfortable with it asking for credit card for a free trial so I made a virtual card, after 15 minutes of no confirmation email I cancelled the account and deleted the card and my account says they withdrew $1 for a "free trial". Glad I made the virtual card first because this site needs to be taken down.

Tried to watch a livestream. The link came from a legitimate source. Preseed the 'free trial' etc. Immediately You Tube stopped the link! I noticed a £2.95 on my credit card and had it stopped straight away. I never use my credit card, so only 6 weeks later did I notice they continued to take separate transactions of £2.95 and £7.95 each month from my card! Absolute fraudsters!

Don't give them your Credit Card details!
I was transferred to their CCard page from autonomia.co which has technical manuals for cars you can download for free if you confirm your address through your credit card, no charge just for information they said.
Now I am supposed to be a member and cant even cancel as all their links of support and cancellation just go back to their home page.

The most stupid website I ever dealt with. When I signed up I got a confirmation email which stated $0 and I unchecked the "renew membership after 5 dat trial ends" because I DID NOT WANT THAT. But the idiots decided to charge me $40 anyways cause they're full if $#*!. Now my membership is 'cancelled' according to them, and I'm still getting a new credit card from the bank cause clearly this website can't be trusted at all.

Dear Ashleee D,

Thank you for taking the time to contact us.

There is nothing to check or uncheck regarding the 5 day trial being upgraded. Stated in the terms and conditions, the trial automatically upgrades if the account is not cancelled on or before the trial period ends.

I will send a private message to rectify your issue for you.

Don't fall for their scam advertising! I was charged for access and for cancellation of a free trial membership only to discover their website doesn't have the book they falsely advertised on YouTube.
Called the 646 number, got some rude woman in the phone who promised my fees to be refunded. Will see. I'll update in few days but you, STAY AWAY AND DON'T SUBSCRIBE.

This website took my money from my CC account for nearly a year before I noticed the error. When I contacted them with a representative of the CC fraud unit, they agreed to refund part of the money to my account, but said they would have too send me a check for the last repayment of $29.95. The check finally arrived, but when I deposited it in my credit union, it was denied payment as a "frozen/locked account". Not only did I not get the 29.95, but I was charged a $20 fee for the returned check. I have taken this matter up with our state's Attorney General and will seek advice from the Post Office regarding violation for Federal Mail Fraud laws.

I am still wondering what Donna Play really is. I have no recollection of ever signing up for anything with a business that does movies and gaming. I must have given personal info on some kind of website to "trial" something. I cannot, however remember doing this. I noticed several credit card charges over 2 months. I called in when I found the website and they are refunding all the money. I am still puzzled however as to how they managed to get my personal information.

I don't even know how I ended up being charged from Donna play. I didn't even know what Donna play was until I googled it. They have charged my account every month for 29.95 and then when I called to say I wanted a refund, the lady was horribly rude! And she told me I could only get 59.00$ back! No! I will take this further, and I will get my money back! I advise everyone to never put your card information in!

PUT IN THREE DIFFERENT CREDIT CARDS, ALL SAID COULD NOT BE AUTHORIZED, THEREFORE NO ACCOUNT WAS CREATED. NOT TRUE. PULLED MY STATEMENT, AND TWO OF THEM INDEED WERE CHARGED. THEIR "CALL CENTER" IS A THIRD PARTY COMPANY THAT WON'T EVEN GIVE OUT THEIR BUSINESS NAME. DONNAPLAY IS A COMPLETE FRAUD. I WILL BE REPORTING THESE PEOPLE TO THE FBI INTERNET CRIMES DIVISION, THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION, AND BBB. DO NOT GIVE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION TO THESE PEOPLE!

Dear AMANDA W,

Sorry to know you feel this way about Donnaplay.com, however you may rest assured Donnaplay.com is a legitimate company. If the card was not authorized, what you are stating was a charge, may have been a pre-authorization hold used for validation.

I registered for a website that was not related to Donnaplay at all, it was free account without any additional charges then suddenly you need to donate 1$ this 1$ is what they want from people because in the next 3 days you'll be charged for 29.95$ so at this time you want your 29.95$ back to you and you feel the donation is not that necessary because it is a donation for children or some lies Donnaplay creates.

I wanted to download a video and got redirected to donnaplay, then I registed a free account on Donnaplay on August 31 2015. And they did not sent double check mail immediately until September 1st. And I did not find anything I want on Donnaplay.com at all. Then I got the pay check from my credit card bank on October 15, listed Donnaplay Paid total US$7.5 for premium account. I was angry and cancelled the membership at the moment. No proper reply on contacting customer support so far, and they are holding my card information. And the most ridiculous thing is they are even charging US$0.99 for CANCELLATION fee?
How quickly will I get my refund?

I have never heard of this Donna's play nor have I ever signed up for anything that would help me with games and apps and things like that, I don't pay for stuff like that and they have been taking a reoccurring automatic withdrawal out of my account every single month since April of $19.95 and they're just gonna keep on doing it and I think they need to be reported & shut down!

These folks told me they would not charge my credit card until I had a chance the use he service and then it would be $2.95 after thirty days. Well, they instantly charged me over $30.00, crooks! I had the charges reversed by the bank. Stay away from them.

Ok so I have NEVER visited this site. Never even heard of it! And SOMEHOW they had my BANK DETAILS and managed to take out money from my account! For some reason they only took out a tiny amount and put it back in but for gods sake they shouldn't even have access at all. This is just annoying and if anything else goes i WILL be contacting the police.
