I wanted to download a film, as advertised on Google. I went on their site, signed up for what I thought was a 7 day trial for $1.99.
I received an email saying I'd been charged over $55 for a bunch of things besides this.
I called their number (who knows where in the world), and was told I didn't "un-check" these things, and there was now nothing I could do.
It would take 5 to 10 Business days (that's 2 weeks, folks), to get a refund, except for that original $1.99 .
I called PayPal, they said the company could just stop the whole thing, since there had been no payment made yet.
I recalled the company, asked for a Supervisor, got a big story, got mad, and was hung up on.
I called again, got a nice person, who said the refund should come sooner, which it did.
Meanwhile, I have attempted on MANY occaisions to use my 7 day trial, which I paid for, and KNOW WHAT?
I CAN NEVER LOG ON, NEVER DOWNLOAD ANYTHING!
I JUST GET PAGES SAYING NOT AVAILABLE, PAGE DOWN TRY LATER, ...BLAH BLAH
You get the idea.
This is a complete SCAM!
Google should knock them off right now!
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.

Here was my reply to the ticket that asking me what was the issue:
**************************************
I believe you are aware of these issues, but just in case you don't know, I summarize them here:
1. Fraud advertisement for service.
2. Does not provide actual option to change, terminate its membership.
3. Does not notify consumer for agreement extension
4. Does not notify consumer after extra charge on to credit card.
Overall, it is a violation with Canadian consumer protection act. I am looking for refund on this. Thank you.
**************************************
I spent a good time to read the consumer protection act. there is a Ontario amendment of consumer protection act, which described exactly how online agreement should be extended under consumer's awareness.
Sorry for drag these long postings here, hope this would help you to spend less time to sort this kinda things out.
Same as the other complaints. Charged 4 times more than they should have - the only thing they seem to supply are links to freeware etc - most of these don't even work on my computer.
Stay away from these guys!

NON HO ACCETTATO I TERMINI DEL CONTRATTO PERCHE' NON CORRISPONDENTI A QUANTO DA ME VOLUTO QUINDI SENZA ACCETTAZIONE NON POSSSONO PROCEDERE. hO USATO UNA CARTA DI CREDITO VUOTA SOLO PER DISPETTO.
Alert! Fraud! Beware...I just registered to unrestrictedownloads.com site yesterday August 28, 2010 but it seems
that you cannot download 10x faster compare to other sites. I used my visa card already but i cannot longer complaint anymore...hoping anybody can do something to stop this site for unscrupulous act and be punished in accordance to cyber law. anonymous
Just reversed the charges with my bank for 31$ and stopped my card, consultant said that charges can still be banked by the fraudulant website. I googled a game and was directed to a website that seems kosher, i dont mind paying but the game isnt available on the website. What the hell kind of world do we live in where banks make it easy for fraudsters to rob us. Babylon is getting me down !
Hi my name is Scott well seems like I’m posting on this message. You all ready know what happen what i just did less than 5 min ago was called up capital one up and they told me the same thing I could not stop the charge from going through. But they did flag the transaction and if this little [censor] from my home country of Canada try’s to charge anything else to my card it won't go through. So I am only out 23.88 which is my own stupidity but I do feel bad that this con artist is operating in my home country and I know this does little to ease what has happen to all you nice. People so on behalf of Canadians I am very sorry and let’s hope this little [censor] get got very soon and he gets what coming to him.
Corrections (nice people. So and gets cought) sorry it's very late.
yes this so true, but the thing that bothers me the most is where the hell is the site, you cant log onto rapidshare because thats the scam page then they tell u to go to unristricted downloads.Thats when you see its a scam im pissed because i cant log onto the site.SCREW u rapidshare hope the 37.76dollars feeds your family while youre incarserated..Thats what happens to [censor] companys that take your money, sell your imformation and move on, any son of [censor] that emails me will go to the junk pile and i will email and tell everyone about your f-up site...i believe in karma..wait for..wait for it
