i wished i've seen this article before i ordered it, so i did, there was no help on in their support service. i have called 3 times with a question, no one could answer.. i got tired of going no where so i cancel it.. it only took me 2 days. the service dept, has no one that speak english properly, i couldn't understand them. i need a job, i will have to keep on looking.
so if anybody wants to order the Google money or any of them don't do it. thanks

This IS a scam. Signed up hoping to earn some extra money and in less than a week already got charged $69.97 without ever receiving my kit. Because I used my bank cc, I am canceling the card and getting a new one so this company (or any company name they change to) cannot charge my account again and I am disputing this charge through my bank. I should have gone with my gut feeling, if its too good to be true, it is.

I am so desperate for money right now that I almost signed up for this. I'm so glad I stopped and looked it up before I made a huge mistake! Thank you for all the feed back!

I also fell for the scam as well. I was charged $2.98 on my cc and someone called me about it, but he did not give me any real direction on how to go forward with the scammed program. I am so glad now to have found this website because it has some useful information. Thank you. I hope they do not charge me more than what they have already taken out. Keep you guys posted.

My god I am only 19 out from highschool and trying to get a job to pay for my college fee. I sign up and in 10 minutes 2 people call and act all nice and then they harshly ask whats my credit card number. I gave them my pre paid paypal with 5$ on it and they decline it. Next morning my mom email me to visit her and that left my girlfriend at home. she gave number and when i came back from visit. i was charged over 380 dollars the next day! stupid stupid scam.

thanks very much for this info..i stupidly fell for this yesterday, and today a women call me and i give my debit account, they call my husband because i didnt have the number of the debit card and when he give it, he was so angry because he said it didn;t felt right, so i start looking and i find this site and I told him to go to the bank or call them, and he give his number and the bank say we only had 13 dollars from the 250 we had, so i get so upset and make me feel so stupid, so we go downtown and cancel the account , in the bank, told us that , they only charged 3 dollars, i dont know why they first tell us that they have charge almost everything at first but that error put me on alert, thank GOD!, but i dont know what could have happen if i dont find this information..so thanks very much

I signed up for them yesterday, but just up to where they asked for my cc, and of course, I don't think its good idea, so I tried to search online to see what people are talking about them, then I found it scam. SO i just stop it, but they called me this morning, just hour ago...there was a lady, she tried to explain to me what's the deal with this. I already told her that I don't think I can do it, but she keeps going, so I let her talked, but finally she asked me for my information about my cc, I told her that I am not sure it's reliable, so I didn't put my cc on the website, and she told me that that's why they called me now, b/c to make sure that's reliable....it's totally logical and secured. anyway, so I told her that I won't give her cc, and she stopped, but didn't hang up, so I hung up myself...so I found this website, and hopefully everyone here learns this and avoids this in the future.

I fell for the Google biz kit - because, geesh it was Google. I was instantly billed the $1.99 then subsequently billed $49.99, $24.99, and $35.99! After seeing the overdraft charges to my account I immediately called to cancel - in my rage these people who answered the phones to cancel my account I was absolutely unaware of - they did not seemed surprised. Scam!!!!

My husband signed us up we were charged $122.00. We never got the kit and when we called to ask about the charges they said it was in the disclosure. They would not refund us!! This was before people caught onto their scam.

Q   undisclosed location

9:30pm on Sunday, September 13th, 2009 

I wondered why I was suddenly getting mail from Google Biz kit. Was it because I was trying to start my own online business? I clicked on it and figured I could go as far as putting in my debit card info as long as I did not confirm that I was getting it. If I remember correctly, I think that my computer froze and I finally just held in the power button to restart. I recently discovered they are taking about $72 out of my account: CHECK CRD PURCHASE 09/04 PWW*Internet Biz Kit 800-4974988 UT. A couple of weeks ago I called to cancel. Since they took another $72. I called the bank and the bank canceled my debit card. I called the Biz Kit again a couple of days ago and explained the whole story and they just replied again saying they would cancel!

Glad my gut instinct made me check it out BEFORE falling for it.

netnewsdaily.com was the web page i went to because i actually saw an article in a local newspaper about it! a woman who had lost her job and done this was now making over 5 grand a month and working from home blah blah blah. i figured i would look into it because hey if there is an article in the paper about it there has to be some truth to it! when i put in the address the site came up suspended and to contact the supporter if i was the owner. that is when i googled the biz kit and came upon this site. THANK GOODNESS! i doubt i would have pursued it even for a measly shipping and handling fee, but it's good to know that i came across this first cause who knows!

Glad I did look it up and see this b/c i prob. would never have read the "fine print".. It's amazing how many use this exact same technique, but usually they offer something of value and then the membership fee is much lower to decrease the chance of some noticing it and # of charge backs. A charge back is one thing you should be able to do with almost all credit cards if you file a complaint, but debit cards are much more difficult. Although, not always impossible, but there is a lot of paperwork involved & really depends on the bank issuing it as well... Anyways THANK YOU for great info

They say they are charging $1.97 for the kit, but at the bottom...and I do mean the very bottom...it tells you that 1) Google does not endorse the Biz Kit and 2) in 7 days they will charge you $79.90 per month.

So, it is not free, such as is suggested and you are made to think by the ads touting it.

Almost fell for it. I thought "hmmm it looks reputable" and grabbed my debit card.... then I thought "hmmmm maybe I should use my paypal card instead" - I put my CC number in, but because my funds were 0 (iTunes shopping spree I forgot about, OOPS) the popup came back "declined"...

Typo anyone?

One quick search brought me here and I'm safe as can be :)

Thank you!

OH I'm so happy to read these blogs. I almost tried it, but I knew something was up! It just sounded way too good to be true! This lady called me yesterday about buying the biz kit over the phone and I kept telling her i didnt have my card and she started harassing me asking "well what if an emergency happened and you needed your card and you dont have it?" I kept telling her that my husband had my wallet with my card and she was very rude and thats what made me really know that they were just trying to get my money!!!

I saw an ad for this on the msnbc.com website. I thought it was real, but I beg to differ after reading these posts. I fell for it once, and I am still waiting for a refund, yeah right. The problem is that all of these legitimate sights have "sponsored links" that people pay per click. They look legitimate because they are on a legitimate site, but they are paid for links. I say we all just keep clicking on the sponsored links so they have to pay, but we never buy anything. LOL.

Don't do it!

Eeek! I signed up for it, but instead of google it was Twitter. I mistook it because I saw it on a site I trusted (facebook, i believe) i received FIFTEEN phone calls all within about 4 hours. It was dreadful. Finally I told them I didn't want to talk to them and they haven't called since then, so hopefully thats enough! Im glad it was just my phone number and not something else! yeesh!

I too was contacted by one of my facebook contacts that said this program has saved my life. After I spoke with my contact, he said he never sent it to me and that it was a scam and or a virus. I was almost about to give my cc# when my gut told me to do some research on it. Then I saw an article on my home page just today that showed a woman holding up a check she claimed was from Google. Being that I trust MSN, which is my homepage, I looked more into this google kit, and if not for this site, I too would have been a victim of this as well. Thank you all for getting the word out there. Each of you on this site saved me from making a big mistake. I thank you and my family thanks you all. God bless, be honest and good things will come our way.

I'm usually not this gullible, but boy I fell for it. Luckily my husband was not so inclined to give me his debit card but rather suggested I load money on one of my pre-paid cards. I'm definitely loading my card, but certainly not for a scam like this or any other. Thanks for the life saving info. This site rocks!

what can i say i fell for this scam. it had Google on it and also CNN money on the one i looked at over 200.00 taken from my account. called the 1888 # provided on my statement and it went to the Philippines. all their numbers are going to the Philippines. the customer rep tried to wiggle out. i asked for a supervisor and there was no supervisor available. they told me to call 30minutes later. this is a COMPLETE SCAM. BUT ALL THINGS THAT GO ROUND COME AROUND. if Google cannot take action against people using their good name....then maybe we should start checking into yahoo or something else.

THAT MY COUSIN NEVER SENT IT. SOMEHOW SOMEONE GOT MY COUSIN'S INFO FROM FACEBOOK AND PUT THE INFO. ON THERE WITH A LINK TO OPEN. I IMMEDIATELY WAS SICKENED.I DID SEE YOU HAD 7 DAYS TO CANCEL. BUT, DID NOT SEE THE $79.90 EVERY MONTH. I CALLED 2 NUMBERS. THE 1ST # 1-800-497-4988 WAS SO LOUD WITH PEOPLE IN THE BACKGROUND YOU COULD NOT HEAR THE PERSON WHO YOU THINK MIGHT HELP YOU. THE 2ND # 1-877-484-8016 WAS A LOT BETTER. THE LADY SAID I STILL HAD 6 MORE DAYS TO CANCEL. I SAID I AM CANCELLING NOW! SHE DID GIVE ME A CONFIRM # AND ONE WAS SENT TO MY E-MAIL BOX. I STILL WAS NOT FEELING GOOD ABOUT THIS. CALLED MY BANK THEY SAID NO NEW WITHDRAWLS OUT OF MY CHECKING ACCT. BUT, I STILL CANCELLED MY BANK CARD. NEXT TIME I WILL DO MY HOMEWORK BETTER. CAN'T BELIEVE I FELL FOR THIS. ALSO, THIS HAPPENED A FEW MONTHS BACK TO SOMEONE I KNOW AND IT ALL COMES BACK TO FACEBOOK INFO. PROBABLY GETTING RID OF THAT TOO!!!!!!!

After taking a chance on this by paying $2.97 for the introductory package, I was contacted within 15 minutes by phone from a company that was totally different. I told them I wanted to cancel immediately but they assured me that I had 21 days and that they would provide all the necessary tools to help me understand their simple program. After being away for a week, I now have emails from 4 different companies welcoming me to their program. Although I have only paid $3.00, I fear they will start charging me a monthly fee now for services I never ordered and do not want. There is one phone number to call to cancel but they deny that they are part of two companies who use this number. Under no circumstances would I recommend anyone to become part of this scam. They only got me for 3 bucks (so far) but I am really mad about this. The rep actually hung up on me instead of providing the customer service I requested. She also refused to let me speak to a supervisor and kept apologizing for having nothing to do with the company : Amazing Web Stores, that I was calling to cancel.

My wife called me a while back to say that she'd signed up for the kit. 3 months later we've been hit for 3 monthly bills before realizing what was going on. The credit card company has told me that because we signed up to a 'legitimate' subscription there is nothing they can or will do. They even tell me that I need to contact the seller (read crook) to cancel the subscription and to ask for a refund (like that will ever happen). Has anyone ever been able to contact these people? I tried the phone number on the bill but there is no answer. I will be pushing my credit card company and will be going to Trading Standards if nothing is done about it. One question, why hasn't Google done anything to stop these fraudsters using their name?

I thought it sounded too good to be true. I can't believe that they are able to get away with using Google as a way to sucker people into paying for it. There should be a way to keep these types of scams off the internet. No wonder our kids can be so easily taken in by scammers on the website let alone their parents. I am glad I checked with you first. Thank you.

I fell for a similar scam that advertised a product on a well-known local legitimate radio program. I ordered the product (a free trial - all I paid was shipping), and within 7 days was charged $79.95 for the next shipment. I told them I didn't want it, and wanted to return it, and after MANY phone calls and hassle, got my money back. What really floored me was that I complained to the radio station that this was a bogus company, and they continued to run the ad for several months. I never listened to that station again. Beware of anything that claims to be free but requires your credit card for any type of shipping/handling fee.

so im a young college student and i found out about the google biz kit on aol and the article was soooo convincing. they even showed the check. then as i was reading the comments i noticed the timing between each comment was way to close. there was no way you could read a comment then respond to it with a paragraph in three minutes.

i even called and was convinced. but after reading this i am NOT going to buy this kit.

The problem with all of these internet scams is that the banks and online processing companies don't put a stop to it because they all profit from it.

Processing companies and banks should freeze the scammers accounts after a few complaints but they don't.

People need to put pressure on the processing companies and banks to stop these scam artists. People that got ripped off need to call the cops and report the crimes.

So glad i read this before purchasing this kit! I should've known this sounded to good to be true, but when you're in desperate need of more money anything sounds good, I guess this is how scammers get you, they prey on us! I must add that if you really pay close attention the the add, it gives you obvious clues its a scam, like someone else mentioned the check that has the name blacked out but shows the account number..wtf!!?? Also, you can't reply and place a comment, they say due to spams...yeah ok!!?? Good luck with everyone trying to get their money back! God bless!!!! :)

Don't order this crap. A month ago I canceled with them 10 minutes after signing up. I also had to cancel my subscription with their affiliates. During the past 4 weeks I been getting calls from them asking how I was doing with their program. They were told that I canceled with them when I first signed up. Now these guys are trying to bill me for a service I didn't use. Fortunately, I went to my bank after the initial transaction and canceled the card I used so they cant draft the automatic payments.

I am so glad there are sites like this one, in today's times, I cannot believe there are people out there who make it worse. I thought the Google name meant it was safe, my mistake.

I signed up for the Goggle Start up Kit (which was suppose to be $1.97) When I realized that they took almost $50 off my card I tried to call to get answers but there are no human beings to talk to (they try to make u think you are talking to someone live but you arent) Then 2 weeks later I check my card and they have taken $110.00 off my card and yet they claim that they have no record of me ordering anything!They have taken close to $200.00 from me and I haven't found a way to get it back yet! DO NOT TRY THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone who has been duped by these people should report them to the Better Business Bureau. I was scammed by a different company, that took hundreds of dollars from my account claiming I "agreed" to the terms and conditions, which they regard as somewhat of a "bible" when defending complaints. I too was again almost scammed, but did my research FIRST...to my surprise, there were little reports at the BBB, which caused me to look further.

I ALWAYS purchase a prepaid visa, master card etc from walmart and load only the amount I wish to spend online. The CROOKS aren't able to get anymore money off the card because I have long tossed the card as my intentions was to use it once anyway!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG!!! I just saw this yesterday on my yahoo home page. It look totally real. It was a story about a stay at home mom (like me) who needed extra cash and is making 5,000 per month doing the Google Biz thing. I was so impressed by the story and the fact they said it was featured on the news and all. So I went to Google Biz kit site and tried buying the kit, but lucky for me I put my card number in wrong and it did not go through. I was so tired I said I would order it today. So I go to find the Biz kit site again, and find all this scam stuff instead! Thank goodness I put my credit card number in wrong. Just one digit difference and I would have been there next victim! Thanks for the information. In these hard times we can't be wasting any amount of money on scams like the Google Biz Kit! Thanks again

OK, yes I was a prat and signed up - thinking $1.97 was worth the risk.I received email telling me my account had been set up for 7 day free trial (no adverts or info said it was a trial!) Email said -Monthly Service fees will commence 7 days from the date of this purchase, and will be billed monthly thereafter for the continued access to the software. No refunds will be given for failure to use the requested and provided services. We reserve the right to transfer your billing to a third party Merchant of Record. This authority will remain in effect until revoked by me. You may cancel at anytime by calling 1-800-497-4988.
I rang my credit card company, they were not interested as I had given my consent for 'continuous payments' by entering my credit card details online. (great!) All I could do was wait to see if any other fees were taken from credit card and then raise a 'dispute' -they would contact the company.Asked if I could cancel my credit card, was informed that I had agreed to a continuous payment and canceling my card would make no difference!I asked if I could pay my credit card balance off and close my credit card account? Yes I can pay off my balance and close account but continuous payment would still be 'honored' by the credit card company.I rang Profit Studio Learning in the US (the original email I received for my kit)expecting to not get an answer...I used the number 00 1-8004974988. (The call is not free from UK)I said I had signed up for Google Biz Kit and wanted to cancel account. They asked me my tel number (I had signed up using my mobile number) and they greeted me by name (a good sign!) and agreed to cancel my account and refund the $1.97. They said I would receive a confirmation email of this. Whilst on the phone I checked my mail and had received the cancellation email.Here is mail address for billing support billing@pacificwebworks.com I hope all canceled now but I have an email that I can forward onto my credit card company should I need to raise 'dispute'.I hope this helps everyone.These people should be shot for 'preying on members of the public who are financially struggling anyway!.

Just like many of you I was just about to sign up but then decided to check it out on Google itself and found this site. I am so glad I didn't give out my CC #. You know, it's sad (but unfortunately true) that we all live in a 'sharks pond' and only the weary ones are not gonna be eaten by them. And what's even sadder is that people with REAL needs are out there looking for a honest job and opportunity.
Let's be careful people, very careful...!!!
Thank you.

WOW! I also thought that this was to good to be true and thought what the hell..I typed in my email and everything but then I read the fine print and I knew from past experience that once you give out your card number, you are screwed! So I googled it, and this came up, THANK YOU for this website! Saved me ALOT of trouble!

After reading all these people getting scam by "Google Home business Kit" I felt like I also got scammed, Let me share my story with you all and try to help some people out there to get their money back like I did. I was kind of skeptical in the beginning about all this sounded it to good to be true, but I said it's only $1.99 I fill out all the form and the next day I got a private call and it was one of the reps he said that he wanted to proof that this was not a scam and never mention about any fee, two days later I notice on my checking account $47.50 deducted and there was a phone# 877-479-9817 googlesearch..that appeared on my on-line statement. I was so furious, I called back that number and a rep refuse to refund my money back, I immediately canceled all this crap, and the rep said that I was going to be charge $47.50 every month. and I got more furious somehow the rep gave me a 6 digit confirmation # enough to call my bank and provide this 6 digit confirmation # and my bank was able to return the $47.50 and I canceled my Atm debit card. so after all I had a happy ending, hoping you can do the same and never ever, fall in this trap. good luck and God Bless you.

Employment Opportunities

After being unemployed for almost a year, I was ready to try anything. After reading this site I'm glad I didn't start the program. The monthly charge would definitely hurt my finances.
Thanks for the great information.

With google being a smart company, I would think they would have busted them by now, even CCs leave a paper trail, and if there's a strawman/woman im sure a lil pressure from Google on copy write infringement would get someone peeing their pants mighty quickly, heck with computer technology on face recognition if these guys are doing it now, im sure they have been busted before. and if not back to the pressure.

I received a link from my elderly mother telling me about the work at home opportunity. I went to the link and it appeared to be a newspaper article from a local newspaper stating that a laid off mom named Mary Steadman who lived in our city made $7800.00 monthly by posting on google. I of course being a detective with the local police department began looking into the advertisement. I have found nothing but bad reviews and testimonials about this scam. PLEASE BEWARE OF THIS SCAM! This scam is just like the Acai Berry ads that says Oprah endorses. They will continue to bill you every month they can get out of you. It is extremely difficult to stop the withdraws. If you currently are going through this then CLOSE YOUR DEBIT OR CREDIT ACCOUNT IMMEDIATELY !!

This isn't the only company out there on the net that has a fine print addendum that automatically will bill you each month once you've agreed to a "small fee". Most internet scams start out with a "trial" period but if you read the fine print it will tell you that you'll be shipped the product each month and be billed for it after the "30 day trial" period. Unfortunately by the time you receive your trial and actually get a chance to try it, the 30 days are up and the billing begins. Then try to reach a representative to cancel, it takes a long time and frustration. My only advice...if it sounds too good to be true, it always is b/c there's no easy money out there, if there were we all would be rich. Common sense will always be your best bet. Stay well.

It has been over a month since I smartly canceled the Google business program because of the many charges linked to using the program. Just today I found my bank had been charged another $38.77 from Click Sell Go. Supposedly this company was listed in the Welcome material I received--which I never received. My income is limited since I am disabled. Because of this charge my account was overdrawn. I immediately called Click Sell Go and they "kindly" are refunding my money, but I am still out that $20.00! And there is no recourse! I am angry and frustrated over how many hidden costs there are in these programs so there is no real chance to make money. Their ads do not tell the truth, unless you have a large amount of money to invest, and you would be smarter to put it in the bank!

It just happened to me today. I got the link from FoxNews.com and thus thought it was trustworthy. It was one of the big ads in their website, the ones that look just like other articles. I will call this Google Profits people to cancel tomorrow. Note that they have listed 1-888-8777-3336 as their phone number (which has an extra digit) but 1-888-877-3336 actually seems like it will work during working hours. But even if am calling tomorrow to cancel everything I'm also going to the bank to cancel my card just in case (you can not trust this people).

I ran across this scam via a spam email. I immediately deleted it knowing it was bogus. How did I know? From seeing hundreds like it throughout the years. Rule 1: Never respond to ads or email you have not initiated, with a company you have never done business with. Rule 2: Constantly remind your friends and family (especially older ones) about rule #1. Rule 3: Contact any 'real' company or organization that posts these ads on their site. From reading the comments above, it is obvious that many legitimate companies and organizations do not make the effort to verify the advertisements they carry and happily sell the ad space to anyone. These companies need to be held to a higher responsibility.

I too was taken by this scam. Over $200 in charges taken from my card when it was only supposed to be $1.97!!!
I don't get how they can get away with this. My husband and I were in the midst of divorcing a few months back and have been working on reconciliation, even to the point of putting us and our 3 young girls back under the same roof and this just made a HUGE problem we DID NOT NEED RIGHT NOW. I thought it would help us and all it has done is hurt, hurt, hurt. These people are literally ruining others lives. I hope they read this and they're happy.
On another note, thank YOU so much for this website. Maybe others will be saved by all your research. You're a Godsend.
