This program is a major scam!!! Do not do it!!! They took $19.87 out of my account and even after I canceled my subscription they took out another $47 with out even getting my permission.How can they do that. They need to be prosecuted! I'm pissed off, they even over drafted my account so now I am being charged overdraft fees by my bank. |

I wish i checked this site out before purchasing this. I had similar experiences with the up sale of products to anyone who purchased this or google library profit. They ask you to push your zip code on the phone for "verification." actually this allows them so say that you accepted this upsale. When i confronted them with this they simply stated that i agreed with the authorization of my zip code. This product may work but with the fraudulent upsales after hardly seems worth it. Remember...you can tell them "no". But they will charge you anyway so keep a lookout for those charges after the initial $2 purchase. |
idiot pa | 6:21pm on Thursday, October 29th, 2009  |
I cannot not believe there can't be anything done to stop this so called scam I caught this in time to stop the charges. But I'm sorry to here all the people that got burnt. Maybe someone should talk to a lawyer to see if you can bring a class action suit against them. |
Charleen Kennewick WA | 5:51pm on Wednesday, October 28th, 2009  |
This is a major SCAM!! DO NOT sign up for the "free trial". The only thing you will get is ripped off. They will charge your account another $79.90 a week later, and when you complain, they will not do anything about it. I am going to turn in a complaint for unauthorized funds, but I am sure that it won't do any good. Please DO NOT fall for this scam!! |
Thomas Seattle Wa | 5:20pm on Tuesday, October 27th, 2009  |
Thanks to all for sharing your experience I almost bought this Stupid program,thank you very much for your postings. it was a scam. |

Cancel your card immediately |
lynn chicago | 7:23pm on Friday, October 23rd, 2009  |
I was scammed. I recd a charge of $79.86. I called and at first was told that the charge was nonrefundable. After I told them that I was filing a complaint with the BBB, I was getting my refund. But after reading your comments, I'm still going to cancel my credit card. I don't trust them. |
anonymous ca | 2:10pm on Friday, October 23rd, 2009  |
I am working as a customer service representative under Google profits before and I really do apologize for making a HUGE lie with you guys.. YES, this is a BIG SCAM and before you sign up for any on line application might as well read the terms and conditions first so that you are aware on the hidden charges attach on it.
ADIOS! |
Brian Banks Atlanta Ga | 9:41am on Friday, October 23rd, 2009  |
This is a scam. The disc locked up my computer and they don't make it clear that you are buying into a subscribe deal. I canceled whatever subscription they had given me and they refuse to refund my money and actually hung up on me while talking. |
C. Ortiz Los Angeles | 1:53pm on Thursday, October 22nd, 2009 |
I bought the cd for 1.97 and a week later they charged my card $80! I canceled my card immediately. This is a scam and if you see it do not give them any information. As far as I am concerned they have a criminal practice and the people responsible should be arrested and put in prison. |
Michael Florida | 9:27pm on Wednesday, October 21st, 2009  |
You are providing a valuable service -- both the reviewers and reviewopedia. Thank you for helping me and others avoid headaches. |

The number to Google Profit is 877-861-8581. Don't expect help or a refund from them. I canceled my 1.97 charge with them, I spoke with a guy name Mark. He called my house twice trying to convince to to purchase their product. I told him NO on October 5th and again on October 9th. On October 13th there was a charge for 47.50 taken out of my account.... I called and spoke with Anna Draiz on October 13th and told her about the problem and she said I would have a refund in 3 business days.... I guess you know what happened next... Nope, no refund. I just spoke with Justin and he refused to let me speak with any of their supervisors. He said its not an administrative issue and he can't give me the name of ANY supervisors. He even hung up the phone in my face when I said I would contact the better business bureau... |
Armen Bohossian New jersey | 12:12pm on Tuesday, October 20th, 2009  |
Hi,
Somebody already said it but lets repeat: Always look for terms and conditions. If available read them first. If not just close the site.
I also got in the scheme. Fortunately I got suspicious in a couple of minutes after giving all the information they were asking for,'googled' the phrase "google profit library", and found about the scheme. Then I went back printed and read the terms and conditions,panicked because was Sunday. Fortunately they give you some time to react (five days the worst in my case) and cancel. Monday I spent combined about five (5) hours waiting on the phone for the next available costumer service and speaking to a live person to cancel all the five (5) subscriptions I had given permission they to subscribe and charge on a monthly basis. As a matter of fact beside the waiting the cancellation was without much of a hassle (some of the representatives tried to persuade me how good is their program for me). I hope the cancellation, the names and the ref # given was real, but as a matter of extra precaution I stopped my CC and requested a new one.
Good luck,
Armen |

I just got Scammed by Google Profits. |
Mike G Iowa | 2:00pm on Monday, October 19th, 2009  |
DO NOT ORDER A CD FOR GOOGLE PROFITS THIS IS A TOTAL SCAM. TOOK $47 OUT OF MY ACCOUNT AND WOULD NOT GIVE ANY MONEY BACK. |
Laurie south dakota | 1:30pm on Monday, October 19th, 2009  |
I signed up for the Google Profits Kit to find out how to make some extra cash. What a scam. This was done in May. My credit card was billed the $1.97 fee but I never received "the kit". I found an 800 # to call back and they have no record of me. Immediately after that various charges started showing up on my credit card. Over 600.00 from companies I have never heard of.
I had to cancel the card and be issued a new one. This is a horrible scam and I think it is very wrong to have the Google name associated with it when it is not supposedly affiliated with Google (although I don't truly believe that either). It showed people from my home town who made so much money on this. It looks for your zip and gives you that info. What a crock! I strongly recommend avoiding any of these. |
Wallyr Murfreesboro | 12:38pm on Sunday, October 18th, 2009  |
I signed up knowing that if it's too good to be true, it probable is, now I need to know how to cancel, I called number given to me and got a wrong number, anyone have a number for "Google profits" so I can cancel. |
Ashley Tennessee | 2:35pm on Saturday, October 17th, 2009  |
I thought this was going to be great . Extra money in my pocket . Was really excited about it. I have not given any of my info , I decided to look into the company first. Thank God I did . HUGE SCAM ! |
NICKY MEHRER United Kingdom | 10:51am on Saturday, October 17th, 2009  |
Cant believe that i fell for this scam, i am normally so careful, but as they said it would only cost me 3.95, i thought i had nothing to lose. but they have now taken money two months in a row and only just found the website to cancel it. Came up as REGNOC.NET. canceled through here, just hope that it has worked!! Had to enter a credit card number again, but as this card had already been canceled should be ok. I am now over 90 pounds out of pocket and trying to get my money back!! |
Tina Colwell California | 10:36am on Saturday, October 17th, 2009  |
This is a complete scan. I never received the $1.97 cd and ended up with $150+ unidentified charges on my credit card. After a little research I found out the charges were from Google Profits. There are still 2 other charges on my card totaling over $60 - Im sure at some point they will point back to the same company. I had to cancel my card card and file disputes on all 4 charges.
DO NOT GET INVOLVED WITH THIS COMPANY!! |
Gene CA | 4:11am on Saturday, October 17th, 2009  |
LOL..i knew it..when 1 of my friends told me that she made $160 today and asked me to sign up. I was almost fell for it then I made a little bit research on it because i could smell a rat about this one. Good thing i didn't do it..stupid friend |
Jeff Smith Knoxville | 1:10pm on Friday, October 16th, 2009  |
I too was caught by the very small fine print about the monthly charge. So small I haven't been able to find it on their website. Anyway, it cost me $47.50 instead of just the $1.97 shipping charge. Don't be fooled, it is a scam! |
SD Las Vegas | 5:15pm on Thursday, October 15th, 2009  |
To answer the questions from the law student. I work for a credit card company in the billing disputes department. Since the business did disclose the information on the website regardless of how small the print may have been, you as the consumer are obligated to follow the cancellation policy and the terms of the agreement. Once you cancel they can no longer bill you from that date on. Your credit card company will ask you for the date of cancellation, the merchant’s response to your cancellation and if the merchant stated a credit would be issued. Unfortunately if they have already billed you then you are most likely not going to get that money back. |
mary bradenton florida | 10:08am on Thursday, October 15th, 2009  |
i ordered the Google profits kit from the web on october 15. by october 16th they had already added charges to my credit card even though they said i had a 7 day free trial.i immediately called my card company and had the card flagged for fraud. Don't let them steal your money. cancel your card immediately. |
Noelle White Plains, NY | 1:30pm on Wednesday, October 14th, 2009  |
Hi, I too fell for this scam and have been charged $47.50, and an additional $2 charge, which the company claims is not theirs. I called my bank to cancel my card and dispute the claim. I have a question for anyone else who has also disputed the charges - have there been any adverse consequences to doing this, i.e. anything happening to your credit score? Has the company tried to contact you about it? Also, have you won your dispute claims? Thank you so much! I'm a law student and should have known better. If it seems to good to be true, it usually is. |
Brandon Rensselaer | 12:57am on Wednesday, October 14th, 2009  |
I just now signed up found out about charges through researching because I was skeptical about making that much with ten hours a week. I think uncle Sam will not put a stop to it because they are reporting there whole amount to taxes and the government makes money that way so sam is like screw you claim it as a gambling loss or try to. Obviously that has to be what it is that the government thinks more about money than loyalty from individuals. I am disappointed.

Holly Henderson Columbus Ohio | 8:19am on Tuesday, October 13th, 2009  |
DO NOT DO GOOGLE PROFITS!! I purchased the CD for $2.50 and thought, well this isn't really for me and never thought about it again until I saw my bank statement. They had charged me $47.50 which I found out is a monthly fee. I called to find out what the charge was about and that's when they explained that since I didn't cancel my trial membership in the first 14 days, this would be monthly charge. I tried to get a refund but they said no and that they fully disclosed this to me when I first signed up. DO NOT DO THIS PROGRAM!!!!!!!!!!! |
Angelface kinder, la | 10:17am on Monday, October 12th, 2009  |
Do not waste your money on this SH*T they are taking peoples money. Im so mad right now. Please can someone put a stop to this. |
ronnie Location unknown | 10:08am on Monday, October 12th, 2009  |
Don't sign up for Google Profits unless you want to loose a lot of $. I signed up for a free cd for $3.99 shipping and have been charged $200 up to this point. My credit card Co is disputing the charges but who knows what will happen. If they charge again I will have to change my credit card #. Don't do it folks. BIG SCAM GOOGLE PROFITS!!!! |
Alan monterey. CA | 12:05am on Monday, October 12th, 2009  |
I'm glad i read this. i suspected it was a scam when the article i read claimed the girl was from Monterrey as well. |
ken ca | 11:03am on Friday, October 9th, 2009 |
Does anyone know if the authorities would stop this scam? since so many people have fallen into their trap |
Steve S Grand Junction | 9:10pm on Thursday, October 8th, 2009  |
I recently saw their ad on MSN and started to fill out the application until I thought better of it. I deleted my information and exited their site. I received a call from them, they explained the program and said that they needed $5,500! I said they were nuts, they said they had my CC #, they lie, and I hung up! This has to be a scam! |
Richard NC | 6:09pm on Wednesday, October 7th, 2009  |
My wife fell for the white teeth scam - same thing, same MO. ACAI, Google Profits, weight loss, colon cleansers, and there are probably hundreds more.
We had a bit of a time getting them to cancel - took an irate, yelling, furious guy (me) telling them that I am an attorney (which I am not), that I know how to deal with this cr_p, that I have already notified the BBB, that I will NOT put up with this (that's after I got the supervisor on the line)... and it worked, so far.
READ THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS!! BETTER YET... NEVER, EVER, GIVE OUT YOUR CREDIT CARD NUMBER UNLESS YOU KNOW FOR A FACT THAT IT'S A REPUTABLE COMPANY (AND THESE DAYS YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT THAT TOO!! |
Shelley Pittsburgh | 7:47am on Wednesday, October 7th, 2009  |
DONT DO IT. I AM TRYING TO GET REFUNDS FOR THINGS I NEVER PURCHASED. DONT DO IT |

I'm glad I came to this site BEFORE I signed up for this...Thanks |
Al SC | 3:49pm on Tuesday, October 6th, 2009  |
I was suckered like many into committing what I thought was only $1,97. I just got a call from Mardell Lacy at ISPEEDWAY threatening legal action to recover the money I have on my account with them. I canceled my CC as soon as I heard about the scam and only got charged $1,97, but now they are hounding me for payment. I did not click on the confirmation email link and when called at the start told them to cancel my sub. and give me the $1,97 back. They said OK but still carried on!!! |
Mike IN | 1:42pm on Monday, October 5th, 2009  |
Thanks to this site, got signed into services that i didn't sign for,
1).U.S. Patriot Card &
2)Liberty Fun Pass...
called them to complain and was told it was in the agreement;;;;;; which wasn't disclosed. I've called the CC requesting a new card, I don't trust this thieves, they might go ahead and charge even after canceling |
Em tyo | 11:02am on Sunday, October 4th, 2009  |
i don't know if it's happened to anyone else but when i stupidly entered my credit card info the next window told me i do not qualify and offered me another site i could use. does this mean i might be safe? i certainly hope so.... |
Karen Nevada | 11:59pm on Friday, October 2nd, 2009  |
What a scam- I was charged $72.71 and $.24 for international charge fee.
After a month another company name-CREDIT FOR ME charged my acct for $29.00 and another $.24 international fee. I filed a dispute from my bank and they refused to refunded my money.
I feel so stupid!
A FREE TRIAL FOR $1.97 and I was charged $ 72.71.

i was told that even though there are tons of complaints and all of you people being all pissed off....people losing money and getting signed up for programs they aren't suppose to doesn't matter because the attorneys and fcc and bbb believe that ispeedway isnt a scam....so sorry folks they will never shut down. even with almost 500+ complaints it doesn't matter they have no legal proof they are scamming people. |
Mutants earth | 2:42pm on Friday, October 2nd, 2009  |
it took an army to cancel this membership.....their customer service is the worst i have ever seen. when u say cancel they will tell you well at least try the trial period and on the last day if u want to cancel than i will do it then for you. lol what the hell is that ive never heard that i had to pull out the terms and conditions to them *(b) Termination by Customer. You may terminate your subscription to iSpeedway for any reason at any time in accordance with the applicable termination procedure which is currently located at www.support.ispeedway.com. You will remain responsible for the full charges applicable to the billing period during which you terminated, including all subscription-based fees through the end of such period, and you will also remain responsible for any other obligations incurred by you prior to termination and any obligations incurred by you after termination.* once i did this they obeyed a little better but still they were barking back.....just keep being annoying they will want to get rid of you. |
John Location unknown | 12:41pm on Friday, October 2nd, 2009  |
Google Profits is ridiculous!!!! I m soooo mad..Ive canceled and canceled again and they continue to take money from my checking account. I have lost nearly $300 in last 2 months because of all the other services they enrolled me into. Theres no way this can be legal and they have incredibly horrible customer service. They are sooo stupid and act like theyre doing me a favor or something. Im so outraged and hope no one gets involved with this company. |
payal wi | 10:30pm on Thursday, October 1st, 2009  |
I am feeling so stupid. i signed up for this membership today. Then I google for reviews of this service. After reading this all comments, i realized this service is spam. Immediately i canceled my credit card and I also called google profit customer service but they can't able to find me on their system. But they call me and they also charge me 2 dollars, then howz it possible my contact detail and membership is not in their system, they are trying to fool us. I hope they don't charge me further. some people said if you cancel your credit card, they start taking money from your account. I am also thinking to change my account numbers. I will do it tomorrow if I can't able to cancel my membership. I talked to their supervisor, she said it is not fake, lot of people make money through it. anyways, now I just want to get rid of this stupid membership. |
amy PA | 6:30pm on Monday, September 28th, 2009  |
Do not do it!!! I tried the google profit and when i registered, i did not receive any approval code, i knew something was wrong! i immediately contacted my CC company to see if the charge had gone through, and what a surprise, $1.88 had been charged to my account. i waited for e-mail confirmation with an approval code, none, what a surprise. I contacted my CC company and informed them about what happened, they said it happens all the time and that they would be happy to issue me a new card with all new account numbers and the same terms and conditions as my current one. Boy do i feel like an idiot! to make matters worse, i attempted to call the numbers provided for cust. support, that was joke, too. they have no record of me even subscribing to their program. That article on MSN was a lie!! I wish i would have come to this site first before ever attempting anything like that, I'm usally able to smell a scam, but that one had me fooled!!! |
Jeff Colorado | 4:30pm on Friday, September 25th, 2009  |
Boy do I feel stupid for doing this. Normally I'm over cautious and NEVER buy into stuff like this. They ran one over on me though with their "fake" news story and "fake" user comments. I thought that for a 1.97$ it was worth a look.
10 minutes later I googled exactly what this program was, because after signing up it doesn't even tell you what you bought. Took me no more than 5 seconds to realize this is a scam, no doubt about it. I then spent the next hour trying to contact the numbers in the fine print to cancel all this crap before I get slammed with charges on my CC that is already almost maxed. All of them directed me to an Indian call center where I would spend 10 minutes just trying to get them to understand my name. Finally when they got all my info they would tell me that I wasn't in their system. Utter BS.
Having gone through that, it was a breath of fresh air to talk to a representative of my credit card company who spoke perfect English and was somewhat reassuring. I had my credit card frozen and am having the account number changed. She told me that because I've never had dealings with these people before that the charges would never hold on the account if they some how managed to appear on the new credit card number.
This seems like the best bet to feel secure again. You can call fifty different numbers telling them to cancel you from their program, but you never know when some random company they sold the number to will decide to randomly bill you. Just cancel/change your card ASAP. |
Cindy Ohio | 2:20pm on Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009  |
Wow, All of your comments has saved me a lot of time and money. Thanks |
Patrick Mystic Ct | 12:49pm on Monday, September 21st, 2009  |
Ordered the kit to check it out. But within 4 days of using my credit card a bunch of fraudulent purchases started showing up today from all over the world. Tried to email them at the address given on their site..... no surprised I got a email failure as not a valid address. Contacted the bank and they canceled my card immediately and will be refunding my money for the charges i incurred from some jerk out there. Never again trust this group....... |

So, these comments just saved me a lot of money. Thank you everyone! My story: I lost my job and was looking for some ideas on internet. I saw a link referring google profit program on Facebook on the wall of my friend. I'm like, that has to be real. When I clicked on this link, there was a website about single mom form Jackson (the same town where I am from) telling how much google has changed her life, making over $5000/month. I went for it, I was about to put mu CC info on the site called Internet wealth builder when I had this feeling that I should check some other reviews first. Thank GOD I found this!!! So did anybody who fell for it ever made any money? Once I tried cashcrate and made some pocket money and you do not have to put any cc info there. |
Randi Colorado | 1:36pm on Monday, September 14th, 2009 |
Heads up everyone - Looks like Google Treasure Chest may be at it again - look for charges labeled Auction Support, Grants R Us, Web Training Group, or Grant Finder - all with different 888 and 877 phone numbers - but for $68.46 or $24.87. They all lead to MySellersGuide.com. These charges started appearing after the FTC shut down Google Treasure Chest, Google Money Tree and et. al. in June 2009. File a complaint at FTC.gov or call (877) FTC-HELP if you have any of these charges. |
Chris Tx | 11:06am on Sunday, September 13th, 2009  |
Be ware! This is a scam. the "official" google site has a trade mark registration behind the "e", also the font is different than the real Google page. If you have questions about companies like this always look for the "real" companies name and trade mark and compare it to the other. This will save you a lot of headaches and over draft charges. Glad I didn't fall for this one! |
JOAN FLORIDA | 3:18pm on Friday, September 11th, 2009  |
I TOO ALMOST GOT SUCKED INTO THE SCAM. I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT I WENT ON SEVERAL WEBSITES ABOUT THIS GOOGLE PROFIT AND ALL OF THEM STATE SOMEWHERE THAT THEY ARE GOING TO CHARGE YOU EXTRA FEES 2 WEEKS LATER BEYOND THE $1.97. MY ADVICE TO EVERYONE IS READ BEFORE YOU CLICK. |
Denette C, Houston,TX | 11:06am on Thursday, September 10th, 2009  |
I jumped on the bandwagon way too soon. I canceled google profit within the same day, then found out there was another Ebay money resource center I had to cancel, they assured me that was the only two things I needed to cancel. Then the 99.95 hit my bank from "I speedway internet" now who the heck are they and why won't they honor the cancellation?, I have tried for 3 weeks to contact GOOGLE and I Speedway for refund, they keep giving me the run around, and hanging up on me, half the time you get an operator you can't even understand!!!! WHAT A BUNCH O BULL!!!! |

I would like to know about the CNN and ABC reports. That's what gets you, cause you think that it's a good and rep. company if they are claiming these stations are doing a news report on them. Has anyone seen these reports? |
Jackie Thunder Bay , Canada | 10:15am on Saturday, September 5th, 2009  |
I lost a lot of money through Google Revolution, it is a scam. I was also signed up to other online companies that I was unaware of until I got my visa statements. I even called and canceled with google revolution, but was still billed through websites. I just ended up canceling my visa. I am a broke student, and really thought this could help me through college, but I ended up going more into debt. I am very angry about the way they advertised, it's very deceiving. |

I believed the article read because the woman who made a lot of money was from the same town as me, however, I do not know her. I began the order process but was curious about the charge for the disk itself because nothing was mentioned except for shipping. Before I submitted it I opened another window and found this thread (THANK GOD). Needless to say I immediately wiped my credit info and canceled the order. The reason why many of you got caught was their clever false advertising mentioning how inexpensive the shipping was. And the trick was risk FREE leading everyone to focus on the free part. sorry to those who were hassled. |

Im curious though. Can you cancel your subscription and still do the advertising without all of the extra charges? Or does it take away your adwords account when you cancel? |

I found out about this via a link one of my friends posted on your Facebook account - saying it changed her life. She actually posted the comment on a mutual friends wall....well turns out she DIDN'T post it! Her account was hacked. I signed up for the Google part for the $1.97. Thank goodness I emailed that friend and she said she didn't post the link. I also googled it and found this showing it is a scam. I immediately called my bank and canceled the card I put the $1.97 on. Glad I did....saved me a ton of money and a huge hassle it seems. Thanks for all the posts. Everyone needs to report these people!! |

I to, had went through the entire process and had even enter my credit card information. I had a odd feeling, so I used a old credit card that only had about $20.00 bucks on it.
I was given a error that said insufficient funds. LOL. How is that possible, if I only was being charged $2.00?
Thankfully, I decided to check into this and landed on this site.
Thank God. I was saved money and the aggravation. |

wish i would've been more careful as i usually am. i canceled our credit card immediately, reported to my credit card company as fraud and they will hopefully reimburse charges. i never ever use my real bank account online for this reason, with exception of web banking. i hope to not have anymore problems with this. |
Ian SF | 2:14am on Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009  |
Clearly though from the postings here - that company is making a whole mess of money!
If something looks too good to be true, it usually is. No such thing as easy money. |
TS Nebraska | 3:24pm on Tuesday, September 1st, 2009  |
Well, obviously we were not the only people who got duped. Same as above $1.97 charge then 2 weeks later a $47.50 charge and now today $99.00 charge. I called the 877-479-9817 number on my bank statement, sat on ignore for 20 min, then a recorded message "due to high volume calls please leave a message and we will get back to you at our convenience". Well that did not sit well. I called my bank. They are handling for me and will not allow for anymore to be taken out. |
Mike Scottsdale | 2:55pm on Tuesday, September 1st, 2009  |
Yes, I was another victim of this despicable scam. It seemed legitimate not only because of the Google name but also because I read about it
in a news article on MSNBC.com. An unemployed couple were writing ads for Google. So I feel as if I not only was duped by the fake Google Profit also by MSNBC.com for some pretty sloppy journalism. I called my credit card company (1) to dispute the charges and (2) to cancel that card number and have a new one sent out. If you've also been hoodwinked by these guys, that is my strong suggestion to you. Because you can't reach anybody at the scam shop to cancel the blasted membership. |

I signed up for this and then saw that it charged you $49 a month for something i didnt need and also $99 at the end of the 30 days. So right after i noticed all of this i called them to cancel. I talked to someone who couldn't find any of my information. not even my credit card, which was already charged. then someone called me the very next day and i told them that i talked to someone about canceling, she told me that she was the person who sends them out so she was confirming.. i told her that i didn't want it and canceled it. She then called back about an hour later, saying the same thing! i again informed her that i just talked to her and CANCELED it! yesterday i got a call from someone and they were wondering how i was doing with the program. i AGAIN told him that i canceled.. he said that i shouldn't be getting my kit then.. GUESS WHAT? i got it in today! again... i called and canceled.. this time they gave me a confirmation number and i canceled my credit card! i don't trust these people they are idiots and reading all of these comments i feared i would still be charged. don't order this product! |

So...how do I get them to STOP stealing money from my account since I've given them your account access? The 866 number referenced is not in service. |
stephanie ca | 2:26am on Tuesday, September 1st, 2009  |
i gave the authorization to charge one dollar and something cents for a software disk, which wasn't helpful at all, but my credit card was also charged for $47.50, i did not give them permission. be careful giving your info they use your money to charge things that you don't even know why you are being charged in the first place. i calling to cancel i already contacted my bank i hope i get the money back and no more charges are made otherwise i'm changing my bank info |

So my girlfriend that just had a baby was looking to make some extra cash due to the slow economy and was duped by these A$$ heads for money she had no idea she was spending. Now my kid needs food i'm out of a job and I got these payments being unauthorized and charged from her account!! Bring these money grubbers down and get our money back and their jobs!!! Don't be fooled they aren't worth dirt you have pee'd on. |
Rob Harrisburg Pa | 5:32pm on Monday, August 31st, 2009  |
I also fell victim to this B.S. 1.97 suck you in then 79.90 and 47.50 shows up on my credit card. I called the number and began speaking to someone that didn't exactly have a strong grasp of English pronunciation. She told me it was a 7 day free trial under the "agree to terms" part. I told her no one sits and reads all that. I asked to speak to her supervisor because this was a very shady and dishonest way to get peoples hard earned money. I waited 20 mins until I hung up and called again! The same run around story...what a SCAM. Everyone should be refunded their money! VERY UN-AMERICAN! |
Mike Colorado | 10:56am on Monday, August 31st, 2009  |
This a scam I called 3 times talked to 3 different people that said no supervisor was there to talk to me and i could not get a refund. then I found this site. I called the company back and asked the person who answered the phone if they knew that there company was a fraud that it was under investigation by the Texas Attorney General and the BBB and they said no sir we are not so then I said OOOO yes you are you are a fraud and by they way I think every one that works there is illegal in this country and some how dramatically I got a refund after I harassed them about all of this. SO my advise to you is call and tell them all of this and see if it works for you. |
Ashish Singh minnesota | 10:34am on Monday, August 31st, 2009  |
Google profits took me in for about $3, then 14 days later "the trial period" they sent me 50 dollar charge out of no where, bounced 3 checks and just screwed me. The guy said the if you dont cancel within the 14 days your sol. NO THEY ARE, I spoke to a friend, Hamlin law professor and a student of his practicing law. Sue them if you got screwed. There was no warning of the $50 dollar charge every month. Other people are getting hit with 60 to 80 dollars in monthly fees with out their consent or knowledge. |

this is a scam they sign you up for things you don't want and you can't get your money back never sign up i think this is against the law I'm looking into it |

Dave, South Dakota
I have reported them to FTC and Fraud.org and BBB.org.
I would encourage as many people as possible to report them and how they've scammed you out of money. The thing is the business will get shut down but they will re-open the same scam under another name and continue with their shady practice.
When I called to cancel my "subscription" I was on hold for 20 min, but it was certainly worth the wait to get this crap canceled.
Canceling CREDIT CARD/DEBIT CARD as soon as possible really is the best way to stop other charges from coming through. Be sure to report the charges to your bank or credit card company as FRAUD and tell them you did not authorize any of the charges. |
jbeck Yioungstown, OH | 3:06pm on Wednesday, August 26th, 2009  |
1.97? Yeah, right. The moment I signed up I was bombarded by annoying phone solicitation calls, to the point that I told them to just forget the whole thing. I just got my credit card bill and was charged 1.97 for each dvd AND a 47.50 charge for who knows what. I have spent the past 5 days trying to call the 877 number listed on my billing statement but no one ever answers. How convenient. Why can't these programs just be on the up and up and only charge what they say they are going to charge? I say RUN!!! |
Sharon North Carolina | 10:02am on Wednesday, August 26th, 2009  |
I got suckered like so many others!!!I paid the $1.97 and ended up being charged on my cc another $47.50 from Google and some other small amounts from other companies that Google shared my info with. I called and talked to Lindsay in customer service and basically she said that there is nothing we can do about getting our money back. The only words out of her mouth the whole conversation was "it's all in the terms of agreement". I took the $1.97 out of my account NOT our joint account. I don't keep alot of money in that account and since I didn't know that they were going to charge my account the $47.50 I didn't transfer money and had 4 small checks bounce which added up to $144 in NSF fees. Lindsay told me that they are not responsible for that. Somebody needs to take down this company. She also told me that they are NOT a part of Google. They just have some kind of partnership with them. They are paying their employees by screwing you and me to the wall!!! |

I got suckered like alot of other people!! I paid the $1.97 and the next thing I know I'm getting charged $47.50 from Google and then they gave my information to 2 other companies and I had small charges from them. I called and tried to get my money back and Lindsay from customer service pretty much said "sorry about your luck". I took that $1.97 out of my account, not our joint account so I didn't keep a lot of money in just mine. Well not counting on Google taking out $47.50 I had 4 small checks bounce because I didn't know to transfer money!!! Well she pretty much laughed in my face and they won't pay for the $144 in NSF charges that they caused. DON'T FALL FOR THIS!!! IT'S A TOTAL SCAM AND also come to find out they are NOT a part of "Google". They are in a partnership of some kind with them. So not only is it fraud but also false advertising!! |
sherry colorado | 3:03pm on Tuesday, August 25th, 2009  |
i was scammed by this Google home profit crap! i worked for 4 hours in one day just trying to get tech support and got the run around. i finally canceled and i told them if i saw a charge on my cc there would be a law suit like they wouldn't believe. also i wrote my local news station about this scam. hopefully they will air it to let everyone know out there don't use this site! i was also contacted by craigs list.. its amazing how low people can go these days. selling false at home money makers and stealing your money is just like robbing a bank. they are liars and need to be thrown in jail or shut down for ever.. |

ordan, California
I found this Google Profit scam at MSN website. I just wanted to see how this home base business works so I ordered the disc for $1.97 just to see whats in it. I did not sign up for anything like membership or something. It would be foolish to sign up for something you do not even know. Two weeks later I received a charge of $47.50 monthly membership fee on my credit card (I check online all my credit cards every other day)I called Google profit right away and disputed the charge and the person I talked to did not have any information on me as lots of people have been told in the above comments, I did cancel the credit card and getting a new one, that seems to be the easy way out and also hope to still get the refund
next time if ever I do a stupid thing like this I will read it over, hopefully I will NEVER do it. |
Dave South Dakota | 9:55pm on Sunday, August 23rd, 2009  |
What about reporting these online scammers to the Federal Trade Commission? It may take some time, but I think they could put these jerks where they belong. It just needs to be reported to them what they are doing. |
Deloris United States | 10:27am on Sunday, August 23rd, 2009  |
Thank you. I almost fell for the scam. I thought the worst could happen I would lose only $1.95, but my instincts said no. Thank goodness, I didn't fall for the scam. |
Jan Peterson Oregon | 2:18pm on Saturday, August 22nd, 2009  |
How do you cancel with this scam. They took the $1.97. I try to call the 866-995-9812. Just hold and hold. Would love help on this.
Thanks |

How do you stop them from billing your Credit Card ? |
Li Li Florida | 10:09am on Friday, August 21st, 2009  |
It was late at night and I was reading an intriguing news article online about a couple who saved their own necks by venturing into this Google Profit kit.
I got caught up in my own curiosity and ordered this CD. I had not idea I was signing up for memberships with three companies. I truly believed I had only ordered a CD as that was the only item I was aware of purchasing.
I received charges totaling $78 and immediately canceled my debit card. I thought it was fraud until I remembered ordering this CD. I was furious to find out there were other terms associated with this innocent CD. Anyhow, I wrote and contacted all three companies and requested a refund on the grounds that I wasn't aware. I have received a refund for 2 out of the three so far.
However, one of the companies sent me a copy of the receipt that was emailed. I went back and found my original receipt as well. I saw at the bottom the membership charges for each service with login codes.
At the time I ordered the CD, the only charge on my mind was for under 3 bucks. I wished I would have reviewed the receipt and read the Agreement more thoroughly but at the time, I could have sworn on my life, I only bought the shipping for this CD and nothing else.
I am happy so many people are voicing their disdain for this company's practices. Even though, it was on the receipt and in the Terms, they have failed to make thousands of people understand exactly what is being purchased.
To anyone who bought this CD, I would recommend you cancel the card it was purchased with and contact this company for cancellation/refund. And try to get it all in writing if you can. |
Anonymous Texas | 2:35pm on Thursday, August 20th, 2009  |
same thing. Bought the disc for 1.97. 2 weeks later I have a 47.50 charge pending. I called and spoke to someone. He told me it was a monthly membership fee, non refundable. I asked him his first and last name, his supervisors name (he would not give me her last name) then I asked him for information on the owner of the company. He said he did not have that info in front of him. I told him to put me on hold and go get it. He then told me he would give me a "courtesy" credit for the 47.50. He said it would take 3-5 days to post. I asked for his employee ID # as well. I told him I will be calling back if I do not see the credit. What a crock of BS!!!!! |
jake uk | 8:17am on Thursday, August 20th, 2009  |
got caught too - luckily i printed off terms n conditions; gives a toll free number to cancel - not free from international numbers!;2nd : gives an address to write to...625 main st west indies nevis - know nothing.google the phone number you find lots of complaints - reverse look up gives Brand XM customer services - anyone else wanna take up the search?(ussearch.com); another site suggests the website xmbrand.com has moved ip address 4 times in last year. |

DO NOT BUY !!!! It is a scam, they will not refund your money.
I payed the 1.97, two weeks later there was a charge on my card for 59.97 $ DO NOT BUY ANY OF THE GOOGLE CASH SCAMS |

what do i do now i literally just ordered the free kit, called the number but it doesn't work, i used my debit card to pay shall i just tell my bank and cancel my debit card ? |
Trey North Carolina | 2:49pm on Tuesday, August 18th, 2009  |
People I understand these are very rough times and agree in principal about the rip offs been done. Had paid the initial fee so my wife and I could generate money, also. Well became very suspicious for the fact of asking for money, that was not in the agreement. Needless to say am out of the money, which kept getting the runaround!!!!!! Please do your homework, that is a COSTLY mistake if you don't, trust am PAYING for on it now. At the same time IF their is an unique site to make money surely would like to know for my kids and wife sake....appreciate anyone help from anyone. See as viewing the comments their are a lot of disgruntle people which is very understandable. Hope these people get taken down to "YOU REAP WHAT YOU SEW". |

also be aware that once you cancel your subscription to them they sell your information including cc number to another company who will then (unknowingly) sign you up for their subscription. BUT you won't realize it until a month later when your account is charged. My advice is to close down any account you used so that no further charges will be deducted. |
Dianne Australia | 10:59pm on Monday, August 17th, 2009  |
I too have been scammed!!!! I have canceled my credit card and reported the scam to the bank. I am speaking to a solicitor today, as far as I am concerned Google Profit is guilty of FRAUD. |
L. Baker Florida | 6:37pm on Monday, August 17th, 2009  |
This is a total SCAM. They tell you that you are ordering their free information disc, which will be mailed to you, and get you to authorize a $1.88 shipping and handling fee. Then, not only do they not mail you the disc, but then they blindside you with a "membership" fee of $48.17 for not canceling within the "10 day free trial period". Since when is there a 10 day free trial period for ordering "free information"?! And when you call to complain, they will cancel the membership, but they will also keep your money. Do not do business with Goggle Profit Systems! They WILL rip you off! |
sucker Location unknown | 3:54pm on Monday, August 17th, 2009  |
I too was scammed. I paid $1.97 two weeks ago and today a charge of $49.50 is pending in my account. I called cc company to see who the merchant was and it was GP. I immediately canceled my cc so that no further charges could go through. I called 866 number and canceled all subscriptions. I am hoping this will take care of any future problems.
The web link that i originally went thru is no longer..until today the link works but with different advertisement and different 866 number. But if you read the terms and agreements you are signing up for a 72.00 subscription..but of course they don't disclose that information while giving your cc number. You have to click in separate location. Its crap and i hope no one else gets sucked it. |
Mary MN | 11:24am on Monday, August 17th, 2009 |
So my question is my CC was not accepted and I have not received any sort of confirmation. Anyone also have this happen and still get charged? |
Dawn Location unknown | 5:45pm on Saturday, August 15th, 2009  |
Thanks for all of the comment's. i had just filled out all of the required information and was at the billing info page and something told me to do some looking around and i did and found your site. thanks for the heads up. saved me a lot of hassle and grief |
