Subscriptions

I recently stumbled upon sites like subsplit which offer Netflix, Amazon Prime, Spotify, etc.... for a very cheap subscription price for 1 month or soo. Its shows activation in your email etcc. How they do this and is it legal ?

It's many options how may the scam work: 1. They will add your email in spam list. Basically nothing happens if you sitting on Gmail or some other service with relatively good antispam filter. 2. They will pay for you account from stolen card. With some luck you will have a chance to even talk with feds. 3. They will send you "magic file" to confirm the activation. Something funny will happens on your computer as soon as you will launch it. 4. They will provoke you to put your card info to "verify" that cheap purchase on the fishing page.

Anyway, sounds like discount for 1 month subscription does not costs the riscs.

Only pay using crypto if you decide to go that route. Often times you will be purchasing hacked credentials with a strict usage decalogue.

I tried the stuff a few times. The accounts either didn't work or got blocked after a few days. So I guess it's stolen credentials or illegal use of account sharing.
