While registering for an account online (on 10-8-22) so I could install my new Pixma G6020 printer, I used the QR code to start installation, was asked to register for an account. I entered the information (name, email...), then on the next screen I was asked for a credit card number and there was a box checked saying I was eligible for a free 5-day trial of games at tudum [dot] co. I unchecked the box as I didn't want a free trial, but was taken to a tudum [dot] co screen and couldn't get out of it with the back button. I closed the screen, used new QR code and finished installing my printer. I completed my online account registration later. It was as if tudum.co intercepted the process. These scammers have gotten even more deceptive than I've heard of !
However, I was charged $39.95 for the "free trial" and it's a hassle getting it cancelled and a refund; I filed a dispute with my credit card and reported it as fraud to the ftc.gov.
Just wondering if tudum.co hacked the Canon site or if anyone else had a problem with this? OR, if Canon gets a kickback from tudum advertising--that's not good business! It was not a good experience!
