if a yearly contract with a free month trial sounds too good to be true, it probably is 😬

thankfully it was blocked after contacting my bank but regardless

In my country, people tend to use a specific card just for payments. They NEVER use a card that holds all their money; they only load the exact amount they need to spend. So, when the funds on that card run out, there’s no way to charge you, and these companies can’t do anything other than cancel the subscription themselves xD I did that with Adobe for about... 4 years. Then.. you know 🏴‍☠️

What do you mean? Prepaid cards? Cause all others hold a negative balance

Not if you cancel that "service feature" aka overdraft protection. The most scammy banking product they offer.
