First, stop all further payments immediately. Cancel any recurring payment method tied to the service.

If you paid by credit card, contact your bank to dispute the charge as an unauthorized or fraudulent payment.

Can I get a refund after being scammed?

Credit card chargebacks are possible within 60-120 days for most cards. Act quickly.

PayPal disputes also work if you paid via PayPal and the service was not delivered as described.

Cryptocurrency payments are generally unrecoverable. This is why legitimate services accept card payment.

Change any passwords you used on the fraudulent service website. Do not reuse passwords.

The scam site may have collected your email and payment info for further abuse.

Check for unauthorized activity on any accounts that share the same email address.

Enable two-factor authentication on your email if you have not already.

Report the fraudulent provider to streaming communities so others can be warned.

Posting in this forum with the provider name helps everyone avoid the same mistake.

Some scam services are repeat offenders operating under different names. Naming them helps identify patterns.

Contact your internet service provider — they occasionally have anti-fraud resources or can flag known scam domains.

The financial loss is frustrating but the greater risk is ongoing credential exposure. Address that first.
