These companies use false advertising to make customers think they are getting a free trial period for their online movie service.

If you do not cancel within 3 days for their "free" service they download software to your computer that generates "reminders that block most of your computer screen" that you must pay for the service that you never ordered or wanted.

They claim that they have the right to collect on their "bill". Apparently this includes illegally making it almost impossible to use your computer on the internet because their large display reminders block about 80% of the screen. The reminders cannot be moved aside or taken off because they have altered software on your computer to keep it on.

If they think they have a valid claim which they do not because they use false adverstising that they are offering a free trial when in fact they try to force you to pay for it and bill you as well as threaten to ruin your credit if you don't pay them for the free trial period.

They still must abide by legal rules for collecting on bills. This does not include blocking your computer screen making it virtually impossible to use the internet while their reminder is on the screen indefinitely.

This is harassment, blocking internet access illegally, illegal and extortionate predatory actions to force people to pay for unwanted services.

They should be sued by any individual harassed in this manner as well as a class action started against them not to mention criminal charges brought against them for extortion, damaging computers through their downloads and interfering with ones internet access.
