This place is a complete scam. DO NOT USE THEM.I buy a $1.97 CD from them and next thing you know they stole $48.25 out of my checking account when I needed it the most. Not to mention they did not have my permission to take it at all. They are big crooks, thieves, and scam artists DO NOT USE THEM.

Thanks to all readers for saving me a ton of grief! I, too, was almost scammed into EGP. It all started from a listing I put on CRAIGS LIST. I got an email from carissafrye@gmail.com and she/he wrote: "Do you want to ever work for yourself??". Curious, I responded and this was her/his reply..... "Hi, thanks for mailing me back. I found this article on the Times website: Is working online the next gold rush....and it's very interesting. I already made some money from reading what the article had to offer :) you should check it out.".....I clicked on the link and already I knew this was not right. The website looked tacky (I don't think Google would design a site to look like that) and I also checked the bottom that said this offer had no affiliation to Google.....Anyway, I feel sorry for the people who ordered this product and got a headache instead. Ugh! Aloha!

Try to visit your credit card account online daily. When you run into any kind of scam, call the merchant immediately and dispute the charges. Then dispute the charges to your credit card company and tell them that this is a scam or fraud. You may have to cancel your cr card if they will not honor the dispute specially if it involves fraud. The attorney general in Texas are investigating and currently on top of these kind of scams.

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 agreed to reversed the charge and will not charge me in the future.

Call your banks, ASAP. Most banks has 60 days policy to dispute unauthorized debit from your account. You should be able to get your money back if you do it on time. and close your credit or debit cards ASAP.

I am always VERY cautious of these types of things...I saw the link for it on MSNBC of all places, and like an idiot, I signed up for it. After realizing I could not click on any links on their site, I got nervous and did some investigating and came across this site. I didn't even bother to call them, I just went right to my bank and canceled my credit card. Can't believe I was duped. Thanks for the heads up!

Thanks so much for all these helpful comments. I, too, fell for this ad purchasing the Google Kit and the eBay Auction Millionaire Kit through an article entitled "Jobs: Is Working Online At Home The Next Gold Rush?"

I had to cancel my credit card after my first charge for the eBay Auction Millionaire Kit ($71.36), which I never received.

FILE COMPLAINTS! I filed a complaint both on the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) and the BBB and YOU SHOULD TOO.

I couldn't find the exact name of my companies for the BBB, but someone above said to search under "safelock id" which I did. It listed "Google Treasure Chest," not "Google Profits" but I'm sure it's the same guys.

Thanks again for the comments. Good luck everyone!

I reached the number first thing in the morning to cancel...In order to cancel this, the representative told me to send an email to customersupport@xmbrands.com and to put the following in the body and subject lines:

Subject: Trial Cancellation

I spoke with Amy, and I'd like to cancel my subscription immediately. (Give reason for canceling).

password - green

Order# (your order number)

(The name you gave when ordering)

What a scam. Make sure you read the tiny print once you get into the site (s). I looked at my confirmation email and it does not say anything about a 7 day trial. What a dork I am thinking because it had the name Google in it, that all would be well. I got hooked up in Google Profits, Twitter Cash and tried to cancel but none are refundable! I am out $150.00.

Ok so I was being stupid and singed up for this but then I started looking around and read all of this stuff pertaining to this scam. The number I called was the 1-866-370-7270 number it was a customer service number and the guy that I talked, though hard to understand, did help me out. He said that they did not handle the google works but could still cancel it for me. I would imagine that they can for you to as long as you are still with in the free trial period that goes along with it, or as is stated above the first 7 days after ordering. If you are like me and didn't notice the Confirmation stuff they can still help you. Just give them the basic confirmation information about yourself. They will ask for you name, address state and e-mail, just to make sure they know that you are who you say you are. Than they can bring everything up and than just tell them that you want all of it canceled. The guy told me that it was canceled as he was talking to me and sense I was still in the period of time to cancel before they started charging me out the wazoo that I all was charged was the 1.95 or whatever it was for the shipping. I was able to stop this before it ruined me so please be careful.

my wife bought the software on july 27, and i checked my bank account on aug 8 and there was a 47.50 charge from GOOGLECD that neither of us knew about. i instantly thought SCAM when i saw the charge and googled it which brought me to this site. i called our debit card company and canceled her card. i don't know if i should even bother calling to cancel. God has a special place in hell reserved for these types of people.

I came so close to signing up for the $1.97 free trial. I read the TOS and knew about the additional charges etc... but also believed the cancellation clauses (30days). After running errands for a few hours, I decided to 'Google' the topic and found this excellent site. I am so glad I didn't jump right in, and avoided this horrible scam.

I got scammed by the funweb profits. I fell for allowing them to charge $1.97 to my card for the package they were supposed to send and web access so I could review and decide. I trusted this because of the Google name that was being used. I saw the $1.97 immediately on my account, but never received a packet or an e-mail for the service and 7 days later found a $70 charge on my account. This is Fraud and theft and IS against the law! I called and talked to a Hindu... heck, even the on hold music was Hindu! and got the account canceled and a promise to refund the money along with a reference number. I'm waiting to see if I get my money back as they promised. Since Google's good name is being used in the ad... Why hasn't Google sued these thieves? After this I won't trust ANY ads.

I signed up for this on 7/30/09 in the morning. I called later that day asking about the status of my e-mail so that I could get access to the website to look around since I had not received my e-mail yet. They said that they would resend it (or that it was still being processed).

Called the next day, because again - no e-mail from them with my access code. Same response from them.

Finally received the e-mail on 8/4/09. Accessed it for the first time on 8/5/09. Called to ask when my free 7 day trail began - they said the day I paid. Got really upset since I wanted the opportunity to review this. Canceled without any problems - got confirmation of the cancellation IMMEDIATELY.

I knew about the monthly charge - knew I had 7 days to review & decide.

I too fell victim to this Scam. It said I could make $65 an hour! It said my city, so I thought it couldn't be that bad, plus it said it was Google. My bad. As soon as I 'got approved' it wouldn't allow me to login, so I looked it up and saw Scam. I called my bank because I used my debit card. The last purchase that was made was the Anti-virus that I bought a few hours ago. I told them my card was lost and they issued me a new one. Anything that would try to be purchased after the call would be declined. I called the number in the above information, the number was not in sevice. So that is why I called my bank. I will not fall victim to this again. BEWARE!!!!!

I, too was unfortunately scammed by these criminals, who basically steal your money, what else can it be..? Well it certainly is a lesson learned for me and many others.. but so far, I have left complaints on consumer complaint websites, filed complaints with the FTC Consumer Protection Agency, with my bank and just now with the Internet Fraud division through the FBI, because basically what these people are doing is criminal.

Better Business Bureau is also a good place to do this, I think if we all start complaining about companies like this wherever we can, maybe eventually something will get done. Even if I get my money back, which I might through my bank, I still think this kind of thing needs to be stopped! It's not right!

By the way, this company used the name of Google, but they are part of it. Google is a legitimate company that makes millions and millions of profits a year, they don't need to scam people like this, although I am disappointed that they might have ads like this on their service. I think they could do better than that. The problem is these companies know their limits and they skirt just under them to scam people out of their money, they know that most of the 'buyers' will not want the service but will not be aware of it so they will call to cancel, but by that time, they have already gotten the money they expected, small time criminals as they are, and no matter what you do or say, it will be very difficult to get a refund out of them. I have gone through my bank so hopefully they will be able to help me, but this kind of stuff shouldn't happen in the first place. But it does unfortunately.

I just clicked on the Easy Google Profit link and was getting ready to sign up. My boyfriend who is quick to notice internet scams told me to read reviews on it before I put in my VISA debit card account number. Reading the reviews that you guys have posted really helped me a lot. I would like to say THANKS because I now know to stay away from this so called Easy Google Profit thing. I feel so sorry for the people who are steady loosing their money to this BULLSH*T. Please for the sake of your money, always be sure to read reviews before you sign up for something. Thanks Again

Here are some numbers as well I think the best thing to do is just cancel your credit card and have them issue you a new one then fill out the fraud complaint form that your CC company sends you,then file a complaint with the better business bureau.
Here are some more numbers.
1-888-256-1248 1-866-957-0020 1-866-993-1473
1-877-402-2666
All the numbers I have called don't seem to have a record of me at also I just canceled my credit card and will receive a new one in a few days heck of alot easier then calling all these numbers that don't do anything.
Good luck & God bless

Sorry, my DUMB! I'm pretty cagey to scams, ebay, craigslist junk but this one took me by surprise. It was my hometown, must be ok. Always REVIEW FIRST. Thanks to all your good information I went online and blocked/canceled my visa within minutes. Then called the CS at my bank to issue a new card. They said Yes, your card has been blocked already. DON'T WAIT. Thank you everyone.

I actually, in a weak moment, ordered this Google Profits for my wife. Then I stupidly looked up the reviews immediately afterward, and found out this is a scam. I immediately called my CC company and canceled the card. They closed that account, and will reissue another card to another account. I hope that works, but I imagine the site immediately charged my account as soon as I hit "enter". I will see if there are charges that show up. I'll also call to cancel the order, on Monday. There has to be some redress for this kind of criminality. Wheres our wonderful government in all this?

www.google-kit
Their title: "The Local News"
WHAT!!!! I don't even know how to search this news article, and who is this reporter?

I felt very suspicion, when I was unable to respond to their excellence reports (all rated 5 stars)from several so call people with no dates they had posted.

They even had the nerve, to say:

"Want to reply to a comment? Hint: Click "Reply" at the bottom of the comment; after being approved your comment will appear directly underneath the comment you replied to"

However,that was not possible!

I thought to myself, what is wrong with this picture? I believe this is a scam! I been scam before with so call "Work From Home Business," and it was not going to happen again to me!

I just want to say, I am so sorry for the ones who loss their hard earn money.

The key word to home businesses is "RESEARCH" Do your homework, listen to that still inter voice of wisdom, that each of us have inside.

we ordered the easy google profit kit back in may of 09 which to say we never received a thing or a google access instead what they did was take the $ 1.97 out our account which we did not get a dam thing for it no kit no access and no money back i feel google easy kit is a rip off company and everyone with a brain should stay away. in my opinion they are a SCAM and should be reported to the bbb.

I read all the terms and conditions of this Google FunWebProfits and knew right away it was not Google. I did get caught on the Acai Berry Scam buying a 30 days supply for $3.95 shipping and then they charge your card $80. I cancelled my card then. From now on I read every word of the Terms and Conditions. I had almost ordered this with all but my card number when I decided I'd better read the Terms and I'm glad I did. I guess when they don't mention all the charges on the face page, it is a scam.

Darn it!! I'm very skeptical to these too-good-to-be-true thingies but can't believe I fell for this so called "funwebprofits" SCAM!! I should have done some more researches before signing up, but glad i only lost $1.97!! I keep track of my credit card closely & when i find out they charge $69.97, immediately i suspect it's a scam so I call to close my credit card account right away. Please DON'T FALL FOR THIS!!

My boyfriend and I actually fell for this one. All I can say is thank goodness for pre-paid credit cards and we had a very small balance on the card. When we looked at the online credit card statement there were all kinds of charges on there but were declined because of lack of funds. BUT they will keep charging and charging until you do have the funds. If you fell for this like we did, I highly recommend canceling your credit card! BIG SCAM!

This website detects the location of the visitor and insert it in the text of the web page.
Per Example if you were in Vancouver the title would be : « Vancouver Job Journal" instead of « Montreal Job Journal ». The text describes the story of a woman from (location detected) who just lost her job now makes up to $87/hour. She says in the article that only by following the steps mentioned at the bottom of the page and paying a few fees for registering you can make a lot of money. When you follow the steps it opens a page containing a form to fill in. At the bottom of that page there is a link called « Full Terms and Conditions » which hides monthly fees to pay. If you fill in the form without opening that link you will be charged by that company and a whole lot of affiliate companies. At the bottom of the main page there is a little « bogus » forum to back up the text of the main page. Try to leave a message, you will find the message at the bottom : « Comments Closed Due To Spam (back soon) ». This page changes often pictures, names but the story is basically the same most of the time and targets the same customers : « the unemployed » or people who just lost their jobs. My Credit Card Company is unable to supply me with any address of those affiliate companies charging me.

*All those companies seems to operate under the banner « Google Revolution »

After calling 5 times and getting hung up on i was finally able to contact a real person, who said like many of you others have said, that they would put the claim through for issuing a refund on the first charge of 47.50 on my card, they said to call back the next day for the outcome, called back and again got hung up on several times, and was told that my claim was processed as denied, they claimed that i recieved an email that i accepted, that i didnt and then i went to my credit card company to dispute the charge on that one, yesterday i was billed again for 99.00 when i have canceled all google profits membership, and they said that they will refund that, but what gets me is you arent even allowed to talk to the people that approve or deny your claim! definitely a SCAM!! Lets get them big!!!

Fred   Michigan

I ordered the CD kit for Google Ads for $1.97. When I received my visa statement I was also charged a fee of $47.50! Google claims the fee was stated in the terms and conditions for ordering the CD. This is truly a ripoff! I am disputing the $47.50 charge with VISA. It's hard to believe a organization as prominent as Google can sink so low!! Please-stay away from Google unless you enjoy totally wasting your hard earned money.

Char   Louisville

9:22am on Friday, July 24th, 2009 

Duhhh... I too fell into this!!! i did get the charge of $1.97 yesterday (signed up 3 days ago), I called today to 877-402-2666 and they "can't find my account on file", although, they had no trouble charging my account!!! I got the customer service rep's name, and will have to call back Monday again. Doesn't that just take the cake!!!

AA   California

6:15pm on Thursday, July 23rd, 2009 

I signed for this (Fun Web Profits. 1-877-402-2666) and in the next 30 minutes read this article and realized the scam. I called my bank and cancelled my debit card. By that time they had already posted the 1.97 $ charge. I was told by my bank that the 1.97 $ charge will go through but I can call my claims department and get that money back. I called the number they gave (1-877-402-2666) and cancelled the service.
I do not trust these guys and would recommend you to block your credit or debit card ASAP.
Is it going to be a problem if these guys have my name, address, cc info and email address? If there anything else I need to do? Please let me know.

This is nothing more than the new name for the old Google Treasure Chest. They tell you one thing and do not follow through it is cost me 3 months of time trying to receive almost $150 that was stolen off my credit card. They also have numerous addresses. Band together everyone and submit complaints to your local BBB, Attorney General, FTC, and Postal Inspectors. THIS IS A SCAM AND A HUGE ONE. This company doesn't care who they take down. They are thieves and dishonest people.

After being on hold for 10 minutes to speak to a customer service rep. I was disconnected. This happened 4 or 5 times. When I did get to speak to someone, and explained that I had not received the info CD on and that the charge of 47.50 should not be charged on my account b/c they did not send me the cd they hung up on me. Now I am back on the phone trying to get another operator, but I keep getting disconnected. This is a scam. Do not order the CD. Do not pass Go!

Go to bbb and to the usa national site. Search for safelock id and it comes up as safelock id aka google treasure chest.com. Funny how they are one in the same. If you look at the google treasure chest.com page they have 467 complaints. Utah, Texas, and the FTC have all filed against them recently. Hopefully they get shut down.

I agree that these people are evil for sure. I cancelled this crap a few days after and now have no more of the paper work, but get billed this amount a few months afterward. Unbelievable bullsh*t!!

I am now having to contest the charges and got someone on the phone that gave me a cancellation number that better be good for something! I will definitely close my credit card down before next month just in case...man, I am soooo pissed!!

I am in the process of closing and reopening my Bank account today a day later. please someone answer me back i am not in the financial situation to spend more than $1.95

I have placed SEVERAL calls and get a run around every time. I am disgusted by thieves and liars.

Is there anything lower than dreadful? Yes, you guessed it! I got scammed too. I usually check each single transaction on my CC statement but the last 3 months have been crazy so I dropped the ball.
My last statement arrived 2 days ago and I find a "foreign transaction fee" of $2.16. This is what made me stop and check everything. This was for a $72.21 charge from Searchchest (8882479239) which originated in Cyprus. I called them. At first they wouldn't refund anything. Then they wouldn't let me speak to a supervisor. Finally they agreed to both. But for the transaction fee, I have to send them a copy of my statement as well as one from 2 months ago where I was charged $72.21 from Google Chest (8882561248). I got a fax number for them 801-812-8096 and an address 970 W. Broadway #E347, Jackson, WY 83001. Also I had a $24.87 charge from A1 Member (8662005473) which I contested and they asked me to send an email to support@grantspring.com. All these companies are connected and they all have the same customer service centers in the Philipines.
I also called my bank and explained everything to them especially because I have a $38.84 from Safelock ID (8668791266)and no one ever picks up the phone there. We'll see what happens. Now I am off to write a letter to Google Treasure Chest!

This is a well organized scam, for sure. Some of this stimulus money should go in to busting up their little money pit. Maybe Obama should have a Czar for that. I agree with the person who posted the comment comparing these people to terrorist. Something should be done. What makes them any different from Bernie Madoff as well? There is power in numbers, folks. If enough of us band together, maybe we could get these A--holes off the internet.

Easy Google Kit almost got me, but NO Cigar! Like a whole lot of American I'm one that's unemployed at this present time. Login on job search on MSN I seen this advertisement for Easy Google Kit and how this woman from NJ is making all this money on the internet through this website. I have been gotten before threw TOBI and it took me a song and a dance to get my money back from them. So now I’ve learn to read the reviews before I give up all my credit card information. First of all you think that you really can trust them because of the word Google and who don’t know Google. But then I read the fine print under conditions, something told me to try the customer service number and it didn’t work at that time. Just image if I didn’t read what I did or try to call the phone number I would be feeling the same way, but worst. At least TOBI customer service answer and gave you around then try to sale you more stuff. It’s sad to say that in these times everything is false advertisement!!! Wow $6.95 for the kit, $84.87 for the first month after six days if you don’t cancel (Oh and you won’t be able to because of the 1-866-481-7765 don’t work) $49.87 per month subscription fee and heaven knows what else they will take out of your account because now they have all of your credit card information. For those that have been taken by this scram do what I did this time, READ THE REVIEWS and good luck getting your money back!!!

I was duped by this program thinking i could make money from home while I took care of my newborn son. My husband and I thought it would be a great idea because its a reputable company. I admit i did not do my research but I assumed it would be fine. I paid the $1.99 for shipping and I received a cd about 2 or 3 weeks later. So i went through the cd and it looked promising. I was never sent a username or password and I had noticed that on June 25th, 09 that $98.04 was taken out of my account. So i tried calling the number that was on the cd. It took me a week to get a hold of them and when I did they gave me another number to call which took another week to get through. Pretty much they told me that since I didnt cancel within the timeframe that I would get my money back. i called my bank and they put a stop on my account but they couldnt refund my money back.

I would never ever recommend this to anyone.

I was literally about to put in my cc number but hesitated at the last second and decided to look for more reviews of this "offer". Thank God I did and found your site and all the comments! My true appreciation for sharing. This is an extremely clever scam and I can see how it can even easily fool many savvy people. Take a look at this ad designed to deceive readers (me, for one) as a genuine newspaper article that endorses Google Profits. The page looks very official and it even has the journalist's name and email address for a paper called "Philadelphia Gazette". Sounds and looks legit, right? But no, I searched the internet for such a paper and it looks like it DOES NOT even exist! I then looked more carefully at the ad and found a very small gray out line on the top of the page that says "This is a paid advertisement. This site is not affiliated with any newspaper publication."

These people should be sanctioned. Don't be taken. Always be cautious when something looks too good to be true, especially if they ask for your credit card information, and keep giving you special offers after offers.

I can't believe that I fell for this scam. It says "free trial" - I canceled within 7 days and I only paid the shipping fee of approx. $2 though I never received a CD but electronic access. I was done with GOOGLE REVOLUTION.
When I got my credit card statement a few days ago, I found a charge of $37.63 from "Click Sell". I called and was told that they are affiliated with Google Revolution and since I did not cancel the membership with them within 7 days, I have to pay this fee.
Who knows how many more other charges from companies affiliated with Google Revolution will show up on my credit card. I will cancel it and get a new card.
Please everyone be careful!

If anyone knows of or would like to start a national law suite against this company please post. We work hard for our money to have someone scam us for it especially in times of economic hardship.

Saw a pop-up ad while on-line last night showing Google Profit System with a realistic newspaper ad from a local paper. The ad showed a local woman who made $7,000 last month using the Google Profit System. It seemed legit and only asked for $1.14 for shipping/handling of a CD which supposedly explained it all. I figured Google was reputable, so I entered my credit card #. They immediately sent me a "software download" of the program. I was thrilled and anxious to read about the program. But upon opening the "software" I found that it was composed of a bunch of separate garbage files which could be accessed but didn't make any sense individually. That led me to wonder if I had been scammed. So this morning I found this website, read where others had been scammed. I immediately called and canceled my credit card, but by 8:30 AM they had already authorized the $1.14. These ass-clowns are good, and are flooding the internet with this stuff, fooling lots of people. A few minutes ago I found another website with the same "newspaper ad" but with a different woman in a different city. Wording was exactly the same but the name and city had been changed. That confirms the scam. Highly advise cancelling your credit card immediately after finding the scam. It may be the only way to stop these clowns. Write off the $1.14 or whatever as a learning experience.

These people are professional in scams. They first catch your attention, through a very well motivational advertisement, offering you the CD plan with a small $1.97 fee. Once you have entered your Credit Card, address, phone number and e-mail address, they show another window showing that they are not related to Google and a very bottom small printing saying that you will be charged $72.21 monthly and additional monthly fees could be charged from companies that will contact you by e-mail or telephone. There is no way that you can cancel the subscription. Your phone calls, if you are lucky, will be answered and the operator will tell you that the subscription will be cancelled but it is not true. After a week, they start charging fees to your credit card. The only way you can avoid additional charges is that you cancel you credit card. Additionally, companies with different names start calling you but they do not give you their address nor their telephone numbers. They are ghost companies created to suck your blood and your hard earned money.

I was literally about to order it, hoping to get out of our current financial difficulties, after seeing the pictures of paychecks and everything it seemed so legit! Like many others who were scammed, I saw the word "Google" and thought "well if it's google, of course I can trust it!". Thank you for posting intelligent, detailed reviews that probably saved me a lot more than I can afford.

I signed up with this scam in april. I'm still fighting to get my money back. I got charged 72.21 twice and also got charged 38.84 for SAFELOCK ID! I called to cancel and was given a confirmation #. My next billing cycle behold to my surprise another 72.21 and also got charged TWICE for grantspring at 24.87. All the phone #'s listed next to my charges are either to Costa Rica or the Phillipines. I asked for a # to the U.S. and was given several.............BUT THEY STILL PICK UP IN THE DAMN PHILLIPINES OR COSTA RICA!!!!!! It's impossible to contact treasure chest directly. ON top of that, there is nothing but a bunch of garbage on the CD and it has a Trojan Horse Virus on it. SCAM SCAM SCAM

I was charged twice, because my first payment transaction did not go through, so I used another card. The notice said "invalid reference id". Both transactions did go through. It is difficult to get through to them by phone.

I just saw a "testimonial" for this program from a lady here in Gainesville. Out of curiosity, I went to the welcome site. The bottom of the page said terms and conditions, which many times will have a link to what kind of services the site will try to sell people. Once there, I saw the "scam". Where the site allows you the 24 hr introductory $1.97 fee, which is followed by the $83/mo. fee.

I hate the sites that suck you in like that, I wish those scams like that could be squashed and the owners put in jail. Thank goodness there are scam busting sites out there too!

This is a scam if there ever was one. I never do this kind of thing but I did and my account was charged 72.21 and then 24.95 I canceled this and sent the cd back to where they told me and said they would credit my account and it has been 2 months and many phone calls and no results and then I found this so will call this number tomorrow. They should be shut down.

I knew it was a scam and was curious as to just what the website said so i wen there and i typed in my name as "Not gonna happen" my email as neveronyourlife@noway.com" and my phone number i just wrote 7 of the number 2 and went forward and saw the timer clicking and down from 20 minutes. since i wasnt gonna get it i read the rest of the website and saw all the stuff there and the fees and stuff are written at the bottom of the timed page. The funniest part was when i tried to leave the page because i was done, a box popped up and said to wait and well give you a "special" offer if you go to the next page. After a couple more seconds a messwge box pooped onto the screen and it told me that if i was interested in the special offer to just write "HI" in the bubble and the "woman" would tell me about it. I wasnt going to write in in but left it up theyre and the "woman" continued as if i wrote something in the box which i didnt. So Bottom line dont bother with this SCAM because it is obviously one. No one especially in this time wants to give away money especially that much to anyone for little work.

I don't usually purchase things off the internet either, I'm always afraid of my card getting stolen, plus it did seem too go to be true! But I figured if it didn't work I was only out a dollar right?
A month later and I didn't even get the stupid kit in the mail and then saw that they had charged $83 to my card! I just called and cancelled and they said that they are going to credit my card, we see. I hop I don't have to go through the same hassle as Amanda!

My boyfriend signed me up for this because i was having some troubles with finding work. I get my product like 2 months later and send it back. A few weeks went by and then i was charged $70+, i called and had it canceled, then i was charged another $40+ for privacy protection and then another $30+ for some bullsh*t. Now i have been charged $86 and then $45. Most of these places you can call and cancel but not SAFELOCK ID. They are always busy. If this is happening to u then cancel your card and get a new one. Consider filing a fraud charge within your credit card provider.

I, too, feel like an idiot!!! I signed up, paid the $1.97, got the cd, got the virus, had the virus protection (thank goodness), fixed everything, forgot to call back right away to cancel, got charged $99. Called to cancel and as I was trying to search the internet to look up the terms/conditions again I ran into Google Profits, Google Process, Google Revolution, etc. There are a lot of these that are similar and they are all a bunch of BS. Google Profits from home actually sent me a link to go to but as soon as I clicked on it I got a "Failure to connect to this link". Gee, what a shock. Do not do this program or any like it! I just learned a $99 plus $1.97 lesson. One I WILL NOT DO AGAIN!!! They are right...you don't get something for nothing!

so i'm a total idiot. usually im smart when it comes to things like this. i never charge my card for anything online. well except for plane tickets and stuff. but saturdady night, at about midnight i found this eye catching add. and of course i signed up for it. i didnt even do any research on it or anything. the article i read seemed legit, and last year my friend told me that he was making a ton of money from his very own home. i knew it was somehting like this so i figured i could do it too. as soon as i clicked submit i read at the bottom that i would be charged an additional 79 bucks a month! they didnt tell me that before. i immediately started crying. i just moved to a new city and as of right now im living on my graduation money given to me by my grandfather. thats slowly disappearing and i figured this would be an easy solution. instead it turned out to be a scam like all the rest. because i signed up for it on a saturday i had to wait until today to cancel it. i was really scared i wouldnt be able to because of all the problems everyone on here had. but when i called this morning i had to wait about five miutes to speak with a representative. i talked to a girl named stacy and she immediately found my info. she gave me a cancel number and then she quickly wanted to get off the phone with me. but i had some questions for her. she didnt want that and she rudely told me to have a nice day. i called back to make sure. the next time i spoke to a guy. i told him i wanted to cancel and he said that my order was already cancelled...yesterday! well whatever, i just wanted to make sure. i asked him if that was it or if any other charges were going to be made because im sure they give out my card number to third parties. he was like "M'aam, we dont give your number out...okay?!" i said we'll see about that...and that was the end. hopefully. now im just going to have to watch my bank statements to make sure this is the end. i cant believe i wasted a whole afternoon of tears on these people. they're all going to hell, or some place worse.
