Is Moviepin.tv Safe?

Moviepin.tv is a site that advertises itself as a good place to find classic Hollywood or European movies. Users also have landed on the site while searching for specific books or textbooks. Initially, everything seems to be in order - the site offers a trial subscription or one free download of a selected material. The offer seems enticing enough to lure users into giving Moviepin.tv a chance.

The red flags start to appear almost immediately afterward, though. To access the free trial period or to download the chosen movie or book, users are presented with a sign-up page that requires a ton of personal information. To create an account, the site wants to know the user's name, phone number, email address, home or business address, but more alarmingly it needs a credit card or other payment information. Moviepin.tv assures users that they can cancel their subscription during the trial period and no money will be charged. This is standard practice at this point, but as some users soon realized, Moviepin.tv has some nasty surprises waiting for them.

Several users have complained about the Internet that they were charged $50/€50 unexpectedly, without any notice or prior warning. And indeed, hidden out of sight, there is a warning that after the end of the trial period, the site will subscribe and charge all users for a premium tier subscription immediately. The problem is that many users claim to have closed their trial account within the allotted time frame but later were stilled charged over $50 by the site. Some even say that they incurred payments towards the site without ever visiting it or personally providing any payment information.

It should be obvious that Moviepin.tv must be approached with caution. It may be for the best to heed the warnings of the other users and simply try to look for another source of the desired product.
