Hi, just want to check if anyone else is having issues with their shared accounts for Kayo, Binge, Paramount + etc with OzBargain member "kedaking"
I paid for 6 months upfront and now just over a month later I have no access and it seems he has deleted his OzBargain account. He's also not responding to messages on the mobile number he gave me. I fear I have been stitched up?
Anyone else in the same boat?
Is their any way OzBargain moderators can help us out?

Looks like you need to chase the money yourself.
Regardless though can mods blacklist a user kinda like below or do the above statement still stand. (Granted that issue was pretty major)
P LU__G, likely account numbers ending in 5083 or 4015 or 1090, or PayID starting with 'fall' or 'szns'
I paid for 6 months upfront
WHY? Just why?
Looks like you've been stitched up and no there's nothing anyone can do if you willingly sent someone money.
There's so many for 1 year upfront…I even saw one for 3 years upfront!
Because a 6 month kayo sub goes for what, $30? People aren't going to chase each other up every month for $5 lol
I guess I got ripped off then, I paid for 6 months upfront at $7.50 per month for Kayo and $4.50 per month for Binge.
@ChillBro: Those listing are from people who most likely accrued their subscriptions from the free 12 month codes.
Yep I paid for apple one and Disney 1 year upfront- thankfully no issues yet * knock on wood *
Also did for Nintendo online but canned it when I sold my switch
Why did you pay upfront for a monthly subscription service to a person on the internet that has no affiliation to the company running the service?
Doing the dodgy and now it's come back to bite you…Like all dodgy deals it can back fire and you need to take that into consideration when you pay your money.
I am still here. What's the problem mate (I AM KEDAKING).
Hi kedaking/vinnychase. I paid for 6 months of Kayo/Binge with you and it's not working. I called you and you are not answering? Did you change the password? If so please let me know, profile "bob".
What's the problem mate
OP pretty much explained it all
I paid for 6 months upfront and now just over a month later I have no access and it seems he has deleted his OzBargain account. He's also not responding to messages on the mobile number he gave me. I fear I have been stitched up?
lol. I meant the problem with PMing me. Not the problem with the account
Problem is your "kedaking" account, the one I used to purchase the Kayo/Binge from you, is closed and I had no idea you are now known as "vinnychase". Were you planning to tell all of us who paid you?
I also called you on your phone number which you gave me in case of any issues, and you are not answering????
@billy_bob: all of my I guess 'customers' were able to find as was the first commenter of this thread so I didn't feel need to inform people about the change I expected it be seamless and for many people it was.
@vinnychase: have also sent you a pm but
"Kayo has been sorted. Just needed to update payment method. Please refresh on your end to notice the same. Can also try logging out and in again. Or just reopening the app. Whatever floats your boat."
Hoping mods can blacklist dodgy operators like this. We don't need this shit on OzBargain! I have bought countless gift cards form other OzBargain members, often for 100's of dollars, and NEVER had a single issue.
It sounds like kedaking/vinnychase is keen to sort things out, give him a chance maybe…
Really, I gave him my number and waiting for a call. Do you think he'll call? I will let you know…..
Time will tell, he "may" be checking out the issue before calling… ..
Keep us updated :)
Let's just take it back a notch? They are here and responding. Why can't you try and be civil and PM them on here to try and get it sorted?
@brandogs: Guys, I have PM'd vinnychase, and not getting any response. Also why would he close down his kedaking account without telling any of his MANY customers??
@billy_bob: The account was never closed. They simply changed their username? The account still holds the exact same user ID as before

If you go back to the classifieds post, it will even say the new username up the top of the post
@billy_bob: He didn't close his account, he just changed his username, all his posts, comments, and messages still exist I believe, they're just under the new name…
You started the thread 30 mins ago and he posted 15 mins ago.
I don't think any dodgy shared kayo accounts come with a guaranteed service agreement with minimum call back times
@SBOB: Yes but he clearly knows there is an issue and has not made ANY attempt to contact me directly, even though has has all my contact details.
@billy_bob: Dude chill. If he wanted to run off with your money, he wouldn't have even posted here.
Give him more than 15 mins ok. I'm sure everything will be fine
@billy_bob: I've run shared accounts on here before..sometimes issues happen.
You can't expect 24hr phone support and if you want that, feel free to pay full price direct via kayo.
At least you've made if pretty clear for others in the future if they should bother with you though.
At least people have learnt to never share any accounts with @billy_bob
What a pain in the ass.
How am I the bad guy when all I asked for was a response? My mistake was paying 6 months upfront….lesson learned.
Well, I thought any account sharing is a “hack”, and not ethical and against ToS (someone else can look up the legalities).
Would have thought people wanting a piece of the action are going into it, knowing it’s a risky “business”.
Typical recourse is getting all 🔥 up or bikes. Aka gumtree dramas.
You are entitled to your opinion, but like I said, I also run shared accounts and have given my personal number to people so they can contact me if any issues.
And I only resorted to posting in the forums because I could not reach kedaking/vinnychase, and I was missing the footy game, so yeah I was pissed off.
Issue now sorted but I missed most of the game that I was so looking forward to watching.
FYI, I also run shared accounts and have given people my personal phone number to sort any issues as soon as they happen (no issues yet though).
lol, OP gets his issue resolved in 1 hour and 12 minutes, and he still finds a way to complain.
You are obviously not a sports fan! I missed most of the Collingwood vs Hawthorn game trying to get this sorted, so yes I was pissed off!
Can watch replays
.
Is it really that expensive to not just buy your own account from Kayo ?
It's minimum $25 pm, this on top of all the other subs, they can really add up.
Kayo 3 screens is $36, but that only has AFL for me. I also follow EPL Football (soccer) which is on Optus $15, A-League Soccer on Paramount+ ($10), Champions League is on Stan Sport ($20). Then there is Netflix $23, Binge $18, Amazon Prime $7, and the grand total per month would be $129 per month, if I wasn't sharing……
Not sure about you, but I consider $130 per month a bit expensive.
I consider most of them not worth $.0
Way to sling mud with very little reason…
Fyi, I was not slinging mud, I was just trying to get in touch with kedaking to sort out the issue with my Kayo account not working. Unfortunately kedaking changed their username to vinnychase without telling me, and also would not answer the messages I sent to their mobile. So I mistakenly assumed I got scammed, and created this post to see if others had a similar experience.
It's all sorted now, but would never have come to this if kedaking/ vinnychase just responded to me in the first place.
Why is this a thread?
It looks like he changed his name on here to @vinnychase
