As so often has done, I wanted to stream a film on the Internet because it is not available on Netflix (I ended up renting the film for 2 euro on a trustworthy platform). While looking for a streaming provider, I came across one of the pages that are repeatedly deleted because they are actually forbidden. In order to be able to watch the film there in full screen mode, you had to create a user account, which I then did. For verification reasons I had to give my real cell phone number, but lied about the address. Today I had a call on my voicemail saying I had been sent an email. I didn't get an email from this site, so I went to their website and checked what happened there. I discovered that I have to pay almost 400 euro, otherwise they threaten a debt collection company because my test period of 5 days has expired. This was of course in the terms of use, which hardly anyone reads through. It was also written that they can find out my IP address and address in order to collect the money. My question now, since I have not received an e-mail in any trash folder or anything else, and have also not given my correct address, whether something can happen to me in this case, or whether I should just wait?
The crucial question is whether you have signed a contract.
If so, they will find you on your cell phone and it will be extremely expensive.
You probably had to accept some terms of use, does that count?
Did you click somewhere from which it became clear that you are now completing something for a fee. If so, then you have signed a contract, if not, then not.
To be honest, I don't really know anymore. I usually take a closer look at something like that, but I just wanted to stream my movie
Then you very likely have a problem.
