I'd call Gamefly. That's definitely a screw-up on their end because I did not get charged for the first month when I signed with them earlier this year.

If it's just a hold it will drop off shortly.

Well, Gamefly is not nearly as big a company as NF or BB, so they have more to lose by scammers keeping games and such.

Video games also cost sliiiightly more than your average bulk DVD/Blu-ray purchase.
