Who told me it was a subscription for £4.50 A WEEK!. Just for some games which i can get for free on my iphone. The banner comes up as MyDoo and is French based company. I called them and got a rude madam who wouldn't give names of her supervisors except for MARK. Nothing else, just Mark, with no position or title, just Mark. I got her at least to cancel the subscription and the address of the company in France.
