novelden.com scam website

The website "www.novelden.com" is a fraudulent one. The website claims it lets you read your favorite books anywhere, anytime. 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, contact your bank instead and dispute the charges with them to get a refund.

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


Online users who have already subscribed to services on www.novelden.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.

Scam online forms

Online users, be aware of links that go to fraudulent forms on the legitimate website www.wufoo.com. The fraudulent forms are created by scammers who are attempting to trick their potential victims into submitting their personal, credit card and other sensitive information. Once the scammers receive the information, they will use it fraudulently.

The scammers may use the names of legitimate companies to trick their potential victims into believing the form is legitimate.

Here is an example:

nestle.wufoo.com

The link to the form above was not created by Nestle, but by scammers. The form has since been taken down by wufoo.com.

Remember, be careful of unsolicited emails or text messages with links to online forms that request sensitive information. And report suspicious or fraudulent forms to wufoo.com, so they may take them down.
