Max Loyalty LLC is another of these outfits.  hotmoviesale.com is one of
Max Loyalty's fronts.  When called on it, they will tell you they have
cancelled your membership as requested.  They will tell you they will
refund the charges.  They will tell you they will make no further
charges.  And in each and every case, they will be lying through their
teeth.
