Google Cash Scam

7/25/2009 update: some people have started asking about a product called Blazing Keywords, so I've posted information about it from the BBB in the comments section in discussion that goes with this blog post.

5/13/2009 update about Google Cash – it looks like the original Google Cash may be trying to distance itself from the recent onslaught of Google Cash knockoffs. The original Google Cash now redirects to GCWorkAtHomeSystem.com instead of AffiliateJackPot.

Important 3/28/2009 update: A new product is calling itself Google Cash. That is NOT the Google Cash mentioned at WorkAtHomeTruth. The new product calling itself Google Cash:

IMPORTANT: The NEW product calling itself Google Cash  is promoted from a site called OnlineWizard.net and has a $1.99 "Instant Access Fee" and then will charge your credit card $49/month after 72 hours unless you follow the procedures outlined in their Terms and Conditions. I have NO idea what that product is. You can tell that it's a different product because in the Terms of Service it's called the Online Wizard Success Kit.

I think some websites may also be calling the NEW product Google Cash Kit. I'm not 100% sure about that yet.

The FOLLOWING is about the ORIGINAL Google Cash product reviewed HERE at WorkAtHomeTruth.

Is Google Cash a scam? Well, no. But something GoogleCash is doing now is quite scammy. They pulled MY testimonial from my review of Google Cash and posted it on their new sales letter. The took my testimonial COMPLETELY out of context. In fact if you read on you'll see I don't even recommend that you buy Google Cash anymore.

In fact what I say on the WorkAtHomeTruth site is that I do NOT recommend Chris Carpenter's Google Cash to someone that is new to internet marketing. Instead of the Google Cash adwords method I suggest people click here to learn how to start with a method called Bootstrapping Your Business.

And if you DO want to learn Google Cash type methods I recommend you use Matt Levenhagen's Campaign Blasts method instead.

I see that Google Cash is now falling back on the "magic money" claim that you can make money at the system by spending only a few hours a week which while might be somewhat true after you've studied and used such a system for a year or so. But about 1 in a MILLION people would be able to do that right off the bat at all. And almost always you DO need a website to be able to do that.

Plus they're honing in on the dream of making money without a website. That's certainly possible these days but now the Google Cash system is probably one of the WORST and hardest ways to go about it.

In fact, one of the easiest, newbie friendly ways to make money without a website now is the Kindle Profits Exposed system which leverages the traffic of the multi-billion dollar company Amazon.com.

So. Is Google Cash a scam? Well, no. But I do NOT recommend GoogleCash at ALL anymore and they are nowhere to even be found on our Top Ten Home Businesses list.

Note: In order to clear up the confusion about which Google Cash is reviewed at WorkAtHomeTruth, I've posted information below:

  • GoogleCashGenerator.info promotes something called Google Cash Kit and sends their visit to the Google Cash product at TheOnlineWizard site – which is NOT the Google Cash reviewed at WorkAtHomeTruth.

Also, the following products have NOTHING to do with the original Google Cash product from 2003/2004:

  • Easy GoogleCash
  • GoogleMoney – a.k.a. GoogleMoneySystem
  • Google FastCash
  • Google CashKit
  • Make GoogleCash
  • GoogleCash Starter Kit
  • GooglePayoutSystem
  • GoogleCash Center

To those of you that have been wrongfully charged for this crap, here are the phone numbers to the 3 different companies that are involved. You can cancel your 'membership' through just one, but if you call and demand your money back from each, they'll give you a 'courtesy refund'. (nice courtesy, wasting 30 minutes of my day)

Hello, is this the same thing that you all are talking about? https://secure.visualwebtools.com/GoogleATM/gocx/?offer=go_cx_022509&incenta=11323-3376678#

Even though it says you only pay to ship the kit, the fine print says starting 7 days from now you will be charged $59.90 per month! If it really produces the results they are claiming, I guess that would be a small price to pay…

Any advice?

To all those that have been paying for this scam please call your credit card companies up and tell them you are being scmmed by that company and the credit companies will start an inquiry into it for themselves. You may have to freeze your current credit card numbers and have a new card issued. I would also like to here from each of you that have been scammed. It maybe to hard to file for an individual law case but perhaps there are enough people that a class action could be field. Let me know if I can help you to help each other.

Hi Alan, my wife sent for the Google product thinking she would be charged $1.00 for a weeks trial, she never received anything from them, and we have since been charged for google, fraud protection and theft protection, have had no success trying to cancel these as the phone numbers given do not answer, any suggestions, thanks Grant

Come on folks, please don't tell me there are people who actually fall for that "make $5000.00 a month" from Google (or anyone else for that matter). Always remember that NOTHING is free, and if it's worth having….easy. Also, if you aren't sure about something, don't give them your credit card number just to "take a look". Let go of the victim mentality.

Hey Paul I got scammed by one of the websites on that list gary gets green or something like that. How can I cancel the charge??? I didnt even want the stupid thing but it charged me anyway when I thought I had clicked out of the website. Any idea how you could help?? Thanks!

Kyle

well the website has a – in between each word of the url and it seems to be active when I went back to it. It was for some google cash thing and they charged me for the kit or whatever and I didnt want to get it at all. somehow they would not let me get out of there. I found a number when I checked my credit card online transactions but thats all. Is there anything I can do to avoid the charge? I will call them tomorrow since it said office hours are closed but I do not want whatever they are promoting at gary-gets-green . com

Kyle
5:37 am #

Thank you so much! It just happened today so if I call tomorrow morning I hope everything works out great because I do not want them charging my card for something I didn't want. I will see how everything goes, thanks again

Kyle
5:50 am #

I will let you know for sure, I just got worried when I realized it ended up charging me AFTER I tried to get out of the website thing and figured out what its all about. Ill call the numbers tomorrow and hope they are cooperative, but I might cancel the card anyway…

Kyle
1:46 pm #

I called 3 numbers to cancel the charge and all three told me they had successfully canceled the membership or whatever was being billed to me. I don't know if should call more of these numbers, I have a list, but the lady on the first call told me the other two should be called and I did. Hopefully everything is done like they told me it was

2:20 pm #

Well I just stupidly had them ship me the Google Biz Kit linked off of JoshMadeCash

Anyone know who I call to stop the charges before they start? I got a welcome confirmation from googletreasurechest.com so I guess I will start with them. Would like response from anyone that started this with JoshMadeCash. Thanks… if it looks too good to be true then maybe it is not true….duh.

Just another scam out there – I piss them off by calling them about 10 times a day and not saying anything. Funny to listen to them

Philip

Kyle, I work in banking. Simply call your credit or debit card issuer and indicate this is a fraudulent transaction. Trying to go through the company that charged you will more likely than not be futile (since they are scamming you). You will probably have to fill out an affidavit of fraud to submit (which your card issuer will send you). Good luck!

April 9, 2009

Kyle
12:01 am #

Thanks! I will do that. I started to think about that today that even though they say its all "canceled" I might be safe to call the bank and tell them to terminate that card or something like you said.

Hi everyone,
I was on the internet and a pop up came up with the Google Cash promotion. I tried to do some research since it is prompting the product to be reviewed by USA Today, CNBC, ABC, etc. I thought this might of been legit. Finally came across your site have read various comments about this same product and glad I decided to look further into it. Yes easy money sound just what I am looking for but always skeptical. Thanks for all your feedback.

i just recently bought the google cash kit, i got suckered into it and am very concerned. one thing not mentioned about the cash kits by any other people is that they called me today and gave me like a job interview and are gonna call me back in an hour. i have been charged $1.97 so far and am very concerned i got the wrong cash kit site. is there a reason they have called me and gave me the interview or is this a part of the scam? and im not sure what site i used but i would like a list of the wrong sites to have tried, and the real site so i can see for myself which one i chose and if i got scammed.

I cancelled as a subscriber to onlinewizard.com and received an e-mail stating I have been cancelled as a subscriber. I don't have a problem being charged $49 for April 2009 as the cancellation and the charge were very close to the 3 day notification. But……….I have sent (2) follow-up e-mails to:cancelthewiz@gmail.com asking for confirmation of the cancellation with no response. I really don't want to cance my credit card but will be forced to if I receive a $49 charge for May 2009.

Any help?

I got into that same crap. I thought I would be getting something in the mail for $1.95 and never got anything in the mail. The next thing I know, they charged my card $59.90 and when I called the number, they assured me that was NOT in small print and forget about getting your money back, guess the scam does'nt work if they refund the money they steal right!!

Actually, Paul its the link under "google cash kit" from that website i gave you in my previous post. Can you tell me if that is a scam because I applied for it and it isnt too late for me to cancel it.

Thanks Paul, I also have another question, did you happen to see those comments from people that had great financial success using that Google Profit Kit? If you did, are those lies?…….

Ronny
12:16 am #

One day after I made my payment for the kit, I recieved a call from them giving me a offer. They wanted to see if I can qualify for some sort of "building my own buisness" They made an account for me at Productresourcenetwork.com. Its mainly a "guide" to achieving success in making my own buisness or what have you. There is a charge to it too, but I cancelled it today and they told me I will not be charged anything at all because within this offer I have a trial.

Ronny
12:35 am #

In addition, Paul, I appreciate very much for what you are doing here. This truly shows me that there are still people out in this world that gives the unfortunates a guiding hand. If you have time, can you check and see what exactly do I have to do in order to obtain those checks that site is referring to. From my understanding, all I have to do is post links on google? Is that really ALL that I have to do? This offer is quite tempting already, but on the bottom of http://www.jacobgotgreen.info/ a 17 year old seems to be having much success, making this all the more tempting. Thanks for your time paul, I appreciate this from the bottom of my heart to the top.

Ronny
1:59 pm #

I just realized that there is no phone number for that company or email….. This is total BS, should have done research before applying for this crap. Now how am I suppose to cancel this crap because I am not too late since I am still on the free trial.

- call your credit card company and ask specifically who charged your account, they should be able to give you the exact name of the company that charged you and a contact number.
- the credit card company will tell you to call the contact number and cancel your account, if you can not reach the contact number, simply call your credit card company and tell them.
- have your credit card number changed to prevent further charges

-after that call i got another call back.they asked me a bunch of questions and explained their whole program, but at the same time i was reading this blog site. so i proceeded to "play along" to see what they would say. i asked them how i was gonna make money. they said they were gonna send me the program for my computer, which is what i thought i paid the 1.97 for, but they said that was to process my request. he told me right after that, that i would recieve calls everyday from a "Guide" they called themselves "part of the team" supposedly some team they have set up that helps you with your business.

-they said i quallified and started to ask me how much money i had in my account. i lied just to find out what they would say. they then proceeded to try and tell me that i need to give them my credit card number over the phone i said why wouild i give you that, and the guy said that we are paying for u to get started with this business, so i said ok how much is that. they told me $1,200 to get started. i was like well this isnt what the website said. he said its all part of the agreement. i said what agreement? he said this agreement that u want to start this business and become a "part of the team", i said no thanks were gonna have to go our seperate ways now, and he hung up.

I then found the site that i signed up for this with and found the phone number in the sites, agreement page. "The small writing that says i will be charged after a certain amount of time" that i didnt see. i called and cancelled, they gave me a cancellation number that i wrote down. and hopefully i wont ever get charged again.

i hope my story helps you people that are getting calls back. just cancel right away, dont bother talking to them. i talked a total of two hours and its all bullshit.

I stupidly bought into this obviously not knowing it was a scam and my bank tell me that even though i can dispute the two payments that have gone out of my account that even cancelling my current debit card and getting a new one issued will NOT stop them taking the money as apparently I have "subscribed" to this company and the only way to stop it all is to contact the company and get them to cancel the subscription at their end!!!!! I am going to have to close my bank account to stop this mess and I already have credit problems so opening a new bank account will be impossible.

Hi there Paul, I went to Facebook.com and signed up to a Dan Gets Green site (URL above), which claimed that if I sent $1.95, I would get sent some info regarding how to make money. Of course, I have returned to find out that it was a scam and have been charged $49 ($67 in Australian Dollars) …. I never received a confirmation email or anything like that. I want to get my money back … do you or anyone else know how I can do this? Is there phone number I can call? Should I cancel my credit card? I am going to contact my bank tomorrow to say that the transaction was fraudulent, but I am reticent to cancel my a/c as it is a work-related one (my own business). For your info, the transaction said that it came from CPIpay.com/n-remedies. PLEASE HELP – I am so upset that this has happened. Can anyone tell me if they were ever 1)successful in getting their money back and/or 2) successful in cancelling any future fraudulant outgoings from the same company. THIS SUCKS!

I have been charged $67.38 in Australian Dollars ($47 in USD), without receiving anything ….. how do I get my money back? How can I stop this happening? I am going to contact my bank to file a fraudulent transaction report … will this help me get my money back? Do I have to cancel my card? Just so you know, the transaction was recorded as CPIpay.com/n-remedies 866-834-6878 . What are the numbers? Would they be the phone number which to call??

I called my bank and they found the phone #, 866-951-1406, I called them and they had my information in their system and they said they would be crediting my account back the $72.00 because I called within 30 days of purchase. They gave me a refund confirmation #. According to the customer service rep they will always refund your money if you call within 30 days of purchase. Wish me Luck!

Michael Brown
7:46 pm #

Paul,

I keep telling you you're giving all this information away for free and you shouldn't be. Most marketers would be charging $47+ for just small snippets of what you're putting out here. Not to mention 90% of the people charging for it wouldn't even stack up to a fraction of the knowledge you have.

I really think you should consider starting to charge for people to be members here as it would weed out whiners and complainers that obviously can't see the amazing value your site offers.

Michael Brown
8:27 pm #

Paul,

Right. I feel you there. As you're know I earn an incredible income online but the funny thing is when I sit down with friends they all want to know how I do it… what's my method… why I don't panic during bad economical times etc. I literally sit them down and teach them.

You know the funny thing? Only one guy out of the dozens I've shown of my buddies is even trying to do anything. I could easily one on one get them to 6 figures in a year as long as they dedicate themselves to my teachings. Yet, just one of my close friends is doing anything with it.

Now keep in mind I earn my fulltime living this way and have the knowledge and marketing power at my fingertips. I can show them in seconds ways to make money. But, they just won't use the info.

Could you imagine the info you could get from Richard Branson by just having a cup of tea with him? Not that I am comparing myself to Branson LOL Long way to go there.

Maybe it's a price point problem? Maybe some people see damn good Free information as useless since they didn't have to spend a paycheck on it??

You're right about Niche Blitzkrieg being $197 and I am cool with putting it back up. I know we've had a lot of members come through your special price of $47 and you know what they are awesome! They are extremely grateful because the see the value and know other programs out there are 10-20 more with far less results. They are using the forums, communicating and really digging the program.

The program has sold at $197 and I also know it's worth more than that as I've seen programs with far less for $1997 plus. I am cool with leaving it with you at $47 but that's limited to your site only. If situations arise where the majority don't appreciate the low price we can always boost it back up. Just my 2 cents.

Dmitri
9:20 pm #

I've been following this, and I have to say, it only makes sense that if someone is going to give value to you, you should give value to THEM!

I never cease to be amazed by how many people think nothing of demanding that someone like Paul do everything for free… but I bet if I went to them and said, "Hey, I'd like you to do your job, for me, for FREE," they'd tell me to get lost! But oh, Paul, YOU shouldn't make any money.

I also wonder, how much stuff do these whiners give away? DO they give away nearly as much value as Paul does? To strangers? On a continuous basis? The answer is NO, they don't. But they have the nerve to be angry at a guy like Paul — who, from what I can see here, is a genuinely good guy who could make a LOT more money scamming people than he does reporting on those scams — because he doesn't give ENOUGH?! Give me a break!

Ok, rant over. Ignore the freebie-whiners, Paul, and keep up the good work.

I too ignored my instinct about this google thing being too-good-to-be-true. It being assoicated with google convinced me to order the $1.97 kit on April 24th. I never received anything in the mail, but I did receive two calls trying to get me to sign up for some resale business for $39 per month. I called the number that showed up on my credit card bill when the $1.97 was charged and they said they canceled my "membership" which would have been a $72 charge in another week.

In my opinion, these ads are at best misleading. Are there any safe ways to make a little money each month on the internet?

Recently online there have been a number of people promising that by paying a $1.95 USD shipping fee for their free kit will make you large sums of money with google within the first 72 hours and sometimes even 48 hours. The fact is that making large sums of money with google within 72 hours is almost impossible due to the face when you do apply with google the processing time google requires is at least two days. When google does approve the application you then need to start developing a landing page that is relevant and a popular global search. These earn with google kits are simply guides on how to go through the entire process and they attempt to fool you with there elaborate but clear Terms and Agreements.

I purchased also this google money system for $1.95 and in 7 or 10 days I was charge for $49.95 and I am sure that this will be monthly charge. I will call my credit card company with this Scam programs and sued maybe. What do you think?

Well I fell for the, Google Biz Kit today I followed the link for a site called joshmadecash.com and after I paid the .99 cents with my debit card(it started out 1.99 but as I was leaving the website it knocked down the price to .99 cents) I read the terms and conditions,Then I got a email from Blazinkeywords with a member ID and password, I remember reading that just by signing into their website ends your free trial and then begins your 79Who-ever falls for this youll need to call two numbers and send a email and not just cancel your debit card. My bank told me with out canceling the services your signing up for a subscription and they will still be able to pull money out based on those terms. Im sure not all banks are the same but for your sake please make sure before you hang up the phone and think its a done deal. So 1st youll need to send back a cancelation email to support@blazingkeywords.com then call Blazinkeywords @ 888-248-9285 then youll want to call 88-247-2188 and cancel your subscription to "Grant Spring" if you dont thats another 24.87 youll get taken from ya,as I said above subscriptions can be legally taken out of your account with old debitcard info that was provided to a company at the time that debit card was use. I hope that both the managers I talked to about this gave me bad information and we as consumers are more protected against this type of

Thank you all for the information. I am in Virginia Beach. I came across Jennifer Hunters jennifersmoneyblog.com. Jennifer said she was form the Virginia Beach area. Who says Virginia Beach area? If you are in Virginia Beach you say so. If not where are you Norfolk? You might say Hampton Roads area but, you would not call Norfolk the Virginia Beach area. I smelled a rat. I wondered, who is Jennifer Hunter and what kind of scam is running. Captain Warner Athey, Virginia Beach, Va.

Ment to say. Who is Jennifer Hunter and what kind of scam is she renning? Warner Athey

You can add http://sarahsmoneyblog.net/v/?t202kw=pulse360MSNBCGeneral to the scam file. I thought about doing it but decided to check the phone book and there were no Kingstons in my area. I then Googled the Google Cash Kit and found it was a scam.

Thanks for all you do Paul.

I also got scammed. My credit card company phoned me to ask if the $72.00 was legitimate. Thank God they called me. I told them no once I had read this blog. They are going to change my credit card number so in the future no one can charge me for this.

I wonder why google and facebook accept to those companies scam people. Google can do something can stop their websites or can at least warn people from using these products under their name.
And also , for the people who was charged more than 1.00 $ why you did not call your credit card company and freez your card .. guys you must do something.

I just read a posting about this Google Cash kit that you pay $1.99 for and another $1.95 for something else and you can make over $500 a week from home. I'm sure if people could make that much from home, the kit would cost quite a bit more than $4. This is where using your noodle comes in handy. Think about it. These scammers are using the Google name to prey on financially strapped individuals. In this day of mass unemployment, innocent people are trying to make ends meet and take care of their families. You get unethical people setting up links that say you'll be charged one amount and end up charging $72. 100 people and they've made quite a profit. Remember the old saying: "If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is."

This board sounds like it may offer some legitimate help. I would appreciate a reply telling me IF there are ANY actually LEGITIMATE work at home jobs available. I am a mature adult that has returned to school to earn a degree and I urgently need income. I have looked at websites that claim to be "fraud free" "legitimate" work at home and they are NOT. Do you know of some that ARE legitimate and that ARE hiring? I will check back…

I, too, fell for the google cash scam for the initial $1.95. I found the following on my credit card statement and got a refund for two charges of $47.00

CPIpay.com/n-remedies 866-834-6878

The 866 number is a toll-free telephone number for the processing center. I do not know how to find out their direct line that the toll-free number is tied to for those outside of the US. Fortunately when I signed up I used my gmail account for email and not my personal email. I am now getting upwards of 250 spam emails a day now since I tried this google cash scam. The ads are extremely deceptive and misleading.

Now there is a scam that points to Hot Business Market Pro, they have even run an ad that looks to have been written by a Miami Newspaper.

The disclaimer at the bottom reads: By submitting this form I am ordering the Hot Business Market Pro trial membership. After the seven day trial I will be charged $81.32 a month thereafter if I do not cancel. I have read and agree to the Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions. Cancel any time by calling 1-800-235-1364.

I got sucked into this thing because there was an article online about a lady here in St. Louis where I live making all this money. Her article was in a listing called USAJOBJOURNEL.com. It's listed first under jobs in the St. Louis area. It speaks of google, but after paying $1.97 google never appeared again and they kept speaking of some free trial that was never mentioned. I cancelled immediately. Today I called to make sure they were'nt going to charge my credit card and made clear they were not authorized to charge my card. Their call center was in the PHILLIPINES of all places. Glad I cancelled when I did.

I thought about rying it , put all my info in. then it says it will be there in 2-3 weeks, in small print further down it says your credit card will be billed in 7 days ,
they never asked for my home address so how are they going to ship it to me?

I just look at the site once, since then Davemakecash.com keeps popping up on my screen non-stop and also they keep charging on my bank account. I phoned them and I did not purchase anything from them and they said I looked at the site and that is why they charged it every month. I keep refusing them to pay and also contacted my credit card company to investigate this and I will keep refusing paying them.

Hello everyone. I came across a site titled Los-angeles-Daily.com that was promoting this Google Cash system. I was interested because my daughter just lost her job and I thought this could be a good hold-over for her while she was job hunting. However, the first thing I noticed was that the link to the information was not related to the advertised link on the site. Secondly, there were only three 'positive' comments posted but the site no longer allowed for posting due to 'spam' issues. The link states that it is the Los Angeles Daily but the website refers to it as the Los Angeles Journal Review. I googled the actual Los Angeles Daily website and the website looks nothing like the fake website and when i did a search for the finance section that shows in the fake LA daily news website it appears that the real LA Daily news does not have an actual finance section.

Suspecting that the scammers may have already 'tainted' the goods, I did an actual google search and came across this site. Thanks Paul. Now, i think i'm now going to cancel my credit cards after reading the stories here.

mc
10:23 pm #

whew! glad I didn't do more than click the link and see that the "Google" looked a little funny. I opened a new tab & did a real Google search on the Google cash name & found this site.

<<SEE ALSO MY -DETAILED COMMENTS & ANALYSIS UNDER RELATED SCAM "My Profit Investment And A-1 Member Complaints – UNAUTHORIZED PAYMENT" ON the Complaint board site {www.complaintsboard.com/complaints/my-profit-investment-and-a-1-member}

this topic has infinitely more contributors -unfortunately-
Additionally, a few new thoughts just occurred to me, especially for those that must go thru the process of canceling a credit card in order to get the deductions to cease & desist.
{I was lucky enough to catch myself before letting their lure & my curiosity get the better of me —‘it's ONLY a $1.95 to find out more !’ -just like they WANT you to think.
I only now fear an onslaught of junk email from them or the related "third parties", before I block email from the one source I know of so far. Because, regretfully, I did go thru the first step & gave name & email info, before doing further research. Lesson successfully re- learned !! }

But (1) for any of you who might have your affected credit or debit/credit cards through Bank of America, My personal experience in similar situations with them has been they were MOST helpful in getting resolution & preventing additional charges, so contacting your ,bank if it was a bank issued credit or credit/debit card used for the purchase, ASAP might be beneficial. {My recollection is that BofA has in their policies (which is in line w/the Consumer protection laws)a rule to address something like this but there is a limit on the # of days past the occurrence for reporting it for their intervention-but check with their 24 hour HELP # for the applicable current specifics.}

and (2) this is another good reason to possibly consider a method that I read about some time ago- that provides u more protection,
Especially useful if you make purchases from a little known or unknown internet sources with any regularity & PROVIDES more protection (by limiting liability) against any possible hacking or phishing activity or other nefarious activity gaining access to &/or being able to complete repeated debits to your account, even when making on line purchases to known legit businesses.
(It’s also good for teens/college students not living at home, to give them some of the benefits of the credit cards but with a CERTAIN limited liability)

–and that is to purchase one of the "prepaid" VISA cards ( Radio Shack offered them last I knew & I'm sure there are many other sources) You can "re-load" the $$ available on the card via a web site or ph. # with your regular credit card if u like -or revisit your local place of purchase store & provide cash or charge to be re-applied to “re-load “ it.

But u purchase the PREPAID VISA card (it's more like a gift card type of arrangement- but it bears the VISA availability) with say a $100 or $200 max at any one time.
& if there's a problem…. just discontinue that card.
U can repeat the strategy w/ another card. I'm not sure but yea, they might charge $10-20 to start the card & set up & maintain the acct. ( & I don't know if they offer any repeat business discounts or anything about their terms-companies offering this may differ. I just know the basics & that they exist.)
But dealing with this sort of nightmare –of the re-occurring deduction– will use up way more than $10-$20 of your time before corrections are successfully completed, & will save u substantially more than that in stress & possibly save u even more in un-refundable liability -from onset to resolution; and certainly the fees are less than NSF or OVER limit fees if these fraudulent auto deductions cause an unexpected shortage in your account or the like.

But by using this PREPAID VISA–if a purchase turns out to be not all u thought would or there are any other nasty clauses in fine print that u missed- the MOST they can get off that card # is the $100- 200 (or less- depending on how YOU set it up, and what balance you leave on the card-YOU MAINTAIN MORE CONTROL)
and you don't have to endure the dreaded repeated monthly deductions, ad infinitum. And, YOU aren't backed into the corner of canceling your main card that you likely have set up with other legit/ long-standing auto deductions, and or bill pay features, requiring your additional time & effort in making sure those aren't adversely affected.
And, it allows you the ability to deal with getting the refund for the misrepresented deductions separately, with a little less pressure and headaches.

(3) make sure that you also provide whatever info/notice is possible to the proper government agency(s). They can’t address or fix problems/ scenarios that they don’t know about, and (one would logically think) they need some means of official tabulation, &/or tracking the # of affected people, and the environment in which it occurred. THE data has to start somewhere. {This does NOT mean the Better Business Bureau. I don’t believe they are structured to offer any help in this sort of situation.}But, one would think that either/or additionally the Federal Consumer Protection Agency has some process to at least gather the data, (and maybe more?) &/or your local district attorney’s office –and certainly the district attorney’s office in Las Vegas (or wherever the perpetrating company is based)– might benefit from the information and may even be able to provide some assistance.

I don’t know if any of these ideas may help anyone or not, but I hope better luck and fast resolutions, and recovery are found for all those who have fallen prey to these disgusting tactics.
{It’s seems likely it could all be the same core persons perpetrating similar proposals under a multitude of company names, with small variances in $$ charged etc. But, it will probably take someone with more personnel, legal latitude & permissions and resources to be able to compile a true & total picture, and initiate whatever action is possible against them. }

Good luck & God's speed all

@ Marie

Looks to me like you may have been talking to a computer program. Can't be sure but it (Jenny) seemed to only respond to certain keywords you typed.

Also, I noticed that on many of these scam blog sites, there are no dates on the comment entries, only times, although this is changing on some site. I actually asked on one blog (when the comments were actually open) for more information. I went back several days later and my entry was deleted. Many of the blog comments are 'closed' to due tp 'spam' or for some other reason. Beware, folks!

To paul:
I know this is a really silly question, but i was reading through the last page of people asking you questions or giving complaints and you seem to be a very patient, helpful, and kind person. I was filling out the application for the google kit for $1.97 but when it asked for my credit card number i hesitated. I had second thoughts, i mean getting $500.00 a month is a big life saver right now, but its not worth the risk of becoming in debt with a scam. So i began a little research and after an hours time, i decided to sumbit this simple question; Is the work at home for google real? I would greatly appriciate all your help. Thank you.

Jazmin
5:13 am #

Another question. This one involves your personal opinion. Do you think i should do this? I mean is sounds great, i have alot of free time and it would be fantastic to make money.But i cant make a final decission, should i do it?

Jazmin
6:01 am #

Paul,
Ok, i will stay away from the trial kits, i was planning on it while i was reading about them a little while ago and i will check out those two sites you recomended. This may be my last question, (im a little embarassed to ask it..) but what exactly is the 'work' for this? I understand your work online, but what exactly are you doing? (you as in me, or the workers.)

Jazmin
6:26 am #

Paul,
Alrighty then, thank you i will look into all of that. This seems more the the type of bussiness my sister is into, she has this huge book on how to build a website and well i will let her know about this.I think she will really benefit from it, and if not well it was a try. I want to thank you for all your help, time and patients. That was very generous of you, i greatly appreciate everything.

The first thing i did when finding some of these so called money makers was check out there sites. I found them very pushy which told me they were bs. I filled out the fake for to continue on they try shoving you to give them your CC #. i hit the back arrow and a pop up came up saying are you sure i closed it and hit back again. I see another pop up this one says order your easy google cash know for only $1.51 when it was suppose to be $2.99 i laughed hard when i saw that. I accepted it and it changed the supposed price i closed out.

I decided to see if LimeWire had any of these google making money files, but to no success just prooving how fake these stuff is. I also see it says it cost 2.99 to ship it to you electricaly…..wtfing kind of bs is that. Its all just bs and its quite easy to tell

"Thanks Jay,

We have our first "YouTube-like" comment. :-) "

And I thought comments are just saying your two-cent. Now on the internet(estabalished by elitist), comments must mean that they are written argument, like university-level paper. And they don't expect "13 year old" kids to come across this page via internet from a computer!

"youtube comment" isn't a definition. Because this ""youtube comment"" had already existed in the past, before Youtube was estabalished. And you can't expect the world to accept your meaning, because they still don't know what it means(until many videos on that site explains the newly word). "myspace comment", "cnn comment", "ebaum comment", it's as if you are trying to make the world see through your perspective.

I was suckered into the scam I should of read the fine print I guess but when I paid the $1.95 nothing came in the mail. No information at all and then they deduct $68 from account I called them and they were so rude they did not want to help me out at all I told them I was going to report them and they said go ahead and try then I called them again and they hung up on me. Only one week passed by should they re emburse me or what? I called the bank and placed a fradulent transaction.

New Scam Discovered!!!!

http://momsteethstory.com/article.php?ntrk=JL

This is for TEETH WHITENING! But it has all the earmarks of the google cash scam except it is for teeth whitening.

Low initial shipping and when you read the terms and conditions – there are several monthly subscription fees that you'll end up getting dinged with.

Guy
5:13 pm #

You're welcome, Paul. There's something I noticed on possibly all these scam sites: the registered trademark use of some large corporations. So as a test, I'm sending emails to the legal department of ABC, CBS, CNN, etc., to see what there response is. These scam sites are profiting from the use of these trademarks. You'd think ABC, etc., would want their cut, too, huh? Or maybe they'd simply have the sites cut. We can only hope.

Don't you all get tired of debating this? Look, people….if you don't want to get scammed, read the fine print before clicking the jolly, candy-like button to purchase. If you just read what is written, you're less likely to be taken for a ride. As far as all of this back and forth mess, everyone has something do gain, don't they??? Cut out the middle man if you feel you've been scammed and contact your bank or credit card provider immediately upon realizing something's not right. THEY will handle these matters promptly in order to protect you and your money.

Okay I decided due to being desparate and without a job sign up for the Google Cash Kit and Twitter Prosper. I gave them the info and like a dummie my debit card number. They called me several times. I was informed that I would be receiving it soon(the cash kit) After 2 weeks I would be charged monthly for it. Okay so I thought I would give it a try and see what it was all about. A few days latter I received my two twitter prosper cds. It was complete crap. I could have figured that out for myself. The next day I planed to cancel and went on my debit card site and noticed I was charged $70.20. I was shocked and pissed. The company I had not heard of at all. Mywebsiterev. Who are they. Well I did some research and found their address and phone number. When I called could not get anybody. So I am out of this money and learned my lesson. Now with the Google Cash Kit it is a scam but you can make a lot of money. This is how it works. You set up a fake web page with the same info page we filled out. Everytime a person signs up you get a portion of the $70.00 or whatever is charged you. I do not understand people who love to take advantage of honest hard working people like us. IT JUST PISSES ME OFF!!!!!!

As long as you do not give them your bank card number you are safe. If you did cancel it and let you back know it is fraud.

Its amazing to learn how many people still aspire to PT Barnum's original quote. "There's a sucker born every minute".
It should be a precursor to everyone who has not gone to school and continues to believe there is an easy way out.
Suck it up and/or get off your backside!!!!!!!!
Feel sorry for those that did not grow up with the magnificent people I did. Curious about the ones still stuck in the fallacy of that thing we call television. Its a mind screw at the very least. Go out and enjoy the wonders of what God has created!

Thanks for the reply here is my update. My debit card is for unemploment in NC. I had to cancel the card and request a new one. I called the website and she said that I only had 7 days to use it and they would refund me $35.00. The problem was that I never received the information to log into the site to know if I wanted to use it or not. Also they continue to call me and ask if I want to set up my own home business and I tell them it is a scam. Now if you use twitter what I did was go on youtube and upload a video about the scam and warn others not to do it.

Paul,I agree with your idea of getting a real job. Ther are some people out ther that have a prolem with that though. I do know that ther are some people that are just to lazy to work a real job. Ther are however people that have a lagit reason for not getting a real job. Like myself I have epilepsy. I would love to have a real job, but the people out ther that will heir me are few and far between. It took me 2 years to find my last job. Now im looking again. What you are doing for free is a credit to the human race. Without people like you I am screewed. I hope that the satisfaction of knowing that you are helping people like me will help you decide if you shuold make them pay for your help or not. THANK YOU!!!!

Back in june I was let go from my job. After a week of not being able to find a job I was online looking for work when I came across an ad for GOOGLECASH kit just sent $1.95. I thought since it was backed by Google that there was no need to investigate it. WRONG!! I got scammed big time.4 days later they took $81.73 out of my account. then 3 days ago another $37.73 was taken out by another company and today $36.79 was just taken out by another. i have been on the phone back and forth dealing with them all morning. I recieved phone numbers from them to call and cancel my so called accounts with them. I was told that they would not refund my money that all sales are final. That was complete BS. I then asked to speak to his supervisor and I was told that they were engaged in another phone call and could not help me. The idiot on the phone then gave me a number to call that could help me. When I called it I ended up talking to a lady at a resort in Georgia for reservations. That pissed me off even more. There has got to be something we can do to shut these A-holes down!

@ Paul

Call your credit card company and dispute the charges. Have them cancel and replace your card and tell them that you were scammed out of the money that was taken from you fraudulently. See if that works to get your money back. There is no guarantee that talking to these scam artists will stop them from billing you.

Bought the GoogleCashKit this morning for $3.38. The charge came through as BERRY-8669825130. The site I bought it from is http://makegooglefastcash.com/. I cancelled it through their website. Do I need to worry about additional charges? Here is the customer suport number.

I ordered the Google Fast Cash Software Kit hastily. Never did receive the software. Rec'd call and GLAD he did from customer service rep about the service and stated a fee of $72.21 will be billed MONTHLY on my account. Whoa…wait a minute…cancel this I told him. The rep said my credit card wasn't charged yet so asked him to cancel IMMEDIATELY…he gave me a phone number to call and I did and got a confirmation #…but my account was charged the next day!! I've been working with my Visa Charge card co and disputing this amt but paperwork after paperwork to fill out..

Does anyone know about Blazing Words…this was the name on my credit card statement for the charge…

well aperantly its not as big of a scam as everyone thinks it is….but it IS tecknically a scam to… if u pay attention to EVERY siungle nick and nack from sighning up i learned that when u sigh up for $1.98 and get "instant accsess" all it really is is instant accsess to that "learn how to use ebay to earn money" and no one here wants to spend countles hours working their butts off just to earn a little money from ebay… and you WILL get charged $60 bucks after 12 or 14 days i just called them and "cancelled"….but i really dont trust them and i'm gona also contact my credit card company and make sure i cant recieve any more charges from them. when u sighned up for your google starter kit u basically spent $2 for the "instant acsess" to there website and then u have to pay monthly bills of $60 to keep using there services(a detail they seem to forget to tell you when u sighned up) and if they cant tell you this when u started up you can obviously assume that they arnt gona get much better… i'm gona blog to all my friends and my xfire clan so tht hopfully no one else gets pulled into this stupid scam…and even thogh they do help u learn to use ebay they need to tell people the truth and that they dont actually send you a google starter kit.

I just got scammed this morning, July 27. I thought I was reading a ligimate Google financial report with links to this "highly successful" Google Profts page. Signed up for $2 and as soon as I clicked "ok" the total changed to $62. I smashed a few things then finally got a hold of the company to cancel and called VISA as well to stop anything further. I literally want to choke the life out of these scammers with my bare hands.

Jay
4:56 pm #

If you notice on the real sign up page after you have paid your $2, there are links to three other companies that will bill you per month. Thankfully I didn't click on any other links knowing I just screwed myself when I clicked "ok" to the $2. After numerous phone calls and more dicking around, I found out that these three are actually located in the Phillipines and there is absolutely no way to contact them. I was finally able to contact someone who was able to cancel it and got a confirmation from cancel@productcustomerservice.com

Luckily I only lost $2, but I feel for those of you who got taken for worse. I hate this crap with a passion.

Google money tree, treasure chest, rainbow etc etc etc are SCAMS-they charge yoy from 1.95 to 3.95 for a disc that may or may not arrive and it it doesnt arrive you can get charged 72.00 and change a month till you figure out how to stop the charges-I called the toll free number provided by my bank and spoke to someone in Europe who said they would refund then changed their story-they gave me another number to an office which doesnt exist in Dakota-I called the police in the city where this "office" was supposed to be and before I even had to explain the police told me to call my state attorney general, the department of consumer affairs and the FBI-because the sacm is interstate the FBI is involved and because the money is processed overseas so are other U S agencies-these companies have NOTHING to do with Google they just use the name-numerous emails to Google and letters to Google and Yahoo who still carry advertisements for these scammers have gone unanswered-I was able to get the chrges reversed and refunded and changed my debit card-the disc with the information never arrived but people who do recieve them say they are filled with useless info and may have hidden spyware right on the disc-another site says Goodle is stopping the running of the ads on their sites but that doesnt stop the ads from running on other sites and many people like me will figure what the heck for a couple bucks amybe I can bring in some extra cash-we all know it isnt going to be huge money but some bucks could be a nice addition—-there are so many scams Running that using you credit or debit card on the internet is asking for trouble-better to go with paypal who is harder on theiR vendors and has a aset arbitration procedure f0or refunds

My question is: Why isn't Google all over these frauds. They are the ones who have the capability to put a stop to it. They can sue the asses off these people. Or are they complicit in the fraud? They are also the one who suffer their good name when people get scammed by the frauds. The only reason the SOBs got to me was the Google in the name. (Actually I'll just get a new card today and be out nothing) I'm just pissed I was suckered into it at all.

Paul,
Thanks for all your hard work.
FYI, why not just use a "prepaid" card you get from Walmart, or where ever, for a small amount for ANY online purchases. That way if the company tries to scam you they can only get what is on the card!
Just a thought.

I know this isn't exactly on topic, but I wonder if I could get advice all the same.
My mom tried on of those $1.95 things on facebook, but she cancelled in the next day. Now, about three months later she suddenly is billed by ListingforCash.com, which isn't even selling the google thing anymore, but instead youtube. She has tried to get them to return her money (80-some dollars), but they refuse. Her bank listened to her story and decided to file a claim of fraud against them, but is there anything else she should do?

Thanks for your reply James and your honesty. I recently stated how people make money with google cash kit. You screw people out of their money and get a portion of it. The problem with you James is that one day you will be accountable for your actions. So keep on keppin on dude your time will come.

Why can't people actually GOOGLE and do research on all this crap before they go and give all their money away?

The only free way to earn money from Google is with Adsense.

What I want to know is why does Google allow these people to miss represent who they are by leting people believe that they are Google untill they get your credit card info. Then they tell you after they got info. and your money that they are not affiliated. I feel like such a sucker. Needless to say when Google does something legit I probably wont believe it. Had to cancel credit card of 10 yrs. sucks and hate these scammers. The only way to stop these thieves is to cancel credit.

I finally got a letter from my bank (CHASE) that my refund of all monies charged by Google Treasure Chest including the foreign transaction fees is permanent-now I continue to put the pressure on anyone and everyone who continues to offer any support to this scam-YAHOO continues to carry their advertising as do some other ISPs-I understand why Google has nothing to say on this-there is a huge lawsuit perculating womewhere but these other companies that are involved should at least acknowledge communications and remove the scam from their paid advertising-everyone please start pushing this outfit out of business by boycotting anyone who carries their advertising!!!!

Today I was one of those college educated suckers who clicked the wrong thing and ordered it, but thanks to this site I was able to go ahead and cancel my card and called the number to cancel my subscription in time. I am so very pleased with being able to catch my mistakes. One of the things that I have discovered to make money is by using textbroker.com I love to write and even though the articles only pay about $5 at the most usually, if you are pretty quick and have decent grammar and spelling you can make an extra $100 or so in a couple of weeks. Plus it doesn't cost anything and the money is transferred to your paypal account every two weeks.

WHY ISN'T GOOGLE GOING AFTER THESE SCAMS! IT WOULD SEEM IN THEIR BEST INTEREST TO DO SO AS JUST USING THE WORD "GOOGLE" CARRIES A LOT OF TRUST AND SINCE THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A OFFICAL NEW ARTICAL ON THE NETWORKS BY GOOGLE REPS EXPOSING THESE SCAMS IT SEEMS THEY ARE JUST LETTING IT SLIDE?????? A SCAM IS A SCAM IS A SCAM AND IF YOUR NAME IS IN THE MIDDLE OF ALL OF THESE, IT JUST SEEMS STRANGE THAT GOOGLE HAS NOT SENT A TEAM OF LAWYERS AFTER THESE PEOPLE… I WOULD SUE THE S*** OUT OF AN WEBSITE OWNER/S THAT A RIPPING PEOPLE OFF. I AM TAKING ABOUT THE TRUE SCAMS AND NOT THE HONEST GOOGEL PROGRAMS FOR GOOGLE AD-WORDS…..

Hey, Paul,

I've been doing some research on these "Google Cash" products because a "frined" of mine sent me a link. It was an article explaining how a woman from my area was making her money using this product. I, like so many others, lost my job months ago and have not found another job yet. Out of desparation, I decided to click on the links. Fortunately, I managed to read through the fine print, and it clearly stated that the product was not at all endorsed by Google, and also explained that they would be making monthly charges to my credit card, as a result, I did not give my credit card information.

My question is; my friend told me that he had just recieved a $312 check from this company. I'm wondering if it's at all possible that he may have created the page or if he is somehow getting paid for the money this company is making off of people he's "tricking."

Here's the page link (minus the "." to avoid others from clicking: chan3news com.

Paul,

This was actually sent through a "comment" on a MySpace status. I'm assuming that this was the handy work of my "friend" (some friend, right?).

I never imagined that an old friend of mine from High School would try to "get rich quick" off of me. But I suppose there's not much that I can't expect with this nasty economy that we've got.

Thanks for your time!

I to was waiting for a kit to show up. Expecting it in the mail. Apparently that is not how it works they instead send everything via email. I missed the emails and apparently didn't read the terms & conditions well enough as I was charged 59.95, 7.95 and 9.95 until I called the numbers on my CC statement to cancel. Of course they tell you how clear it was all disclosed to you etc. I received confirmation numbers for canceling and praying that this is it. I was duped.. lesson learned.

I just realized the same thing happened to me. I looked into in and was going to sign up for the $1 info kit….and then closed the window when I realized they were asking permission to take $70. Now I have a VISA bill where they deducted both the $1 ans the $70…and I didn't even click that I confirmed this amount. On top of that…I never received ANYTHING from them. I feel so ripped off. Did you ever get it cancelled or any money refunded????
