Joe Chicago | 6:18pm on Tuesday, February 1st, 2011 |
I gave them my name, email address and my cellphone # and they kept calling me back but I was always to busy to talk so I decided to get more information about this job and I realized that they called me like 5 times within 2 days and it was always the same lady with a Chinese accent, so it was difficult for me to understand her. So she transferred me to talk with the supervisor and I asked him to specifically explain what I would be doing and everything and he did as told but he kept asking for my account number and I said I have no money at the time and he said if there was any way I can used my parents or a friends just to get me started and I said I might have the $5 tomorrow. So I can't wait to talk to them again haha
I have a question.. Since they have my email address is there anyway they can hack my email or something like that?? should I change my password?..the reason why I'm asking is because I buy things online and I have my account number shown whenever I receive my confirmation email.. anyways Thanks for the advice ppl

What an idiot I am! I called the company back within 48 hours after researching and spoke to a customer rep who asked me if I wanted to cancel my subscription! DAHH! $84.86 already has shown as a pending charge with the cc company. I already have disputed the charge. THIS IS A SCAM. DO NOT BE ENTICED! |
Shalima Georgia | 8:17am on Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009 |
These people stated that I could get this kit for $1.00 and that I had a 48 hour trial period, this was Sunday evening. By Tuesday morning, they charged my account an additional $79.86 which I never saw coming. When I tried to cancel believing that I still had time within my 48 hours, they told me that they were sorry but my time had ran out. Meanwhile I haven't received anything from them after they took my money. It seems that I have no recourse; so this company can just take our money and walk away free and clear. Someone has to do something about this type of bad business, but even more importantly, as consumers we must be vigilant and read all fine print; better yet DO NOT BUY ANYTHING ONLINE UNLESS YOU KNOW FOR A FACT THAT IT IS A REPUTABLE COMPANY AND BUSINESS. |
Nicolette Conklin Nevada | 2:12am on Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009 |
well i didn't read this until after i applied for the cd. but i canceled my account before i did anything with google adwords or any of that stuff because i read that you dont get paid for posting things on google adwords. you pay them. they cant take money from me because i have no money in my bank account. lol. so what can i do with the cd? |
subyman Michigan | 11:33pm on Monday, November 2nd, 2009 |
These guys are now using craiglist ads to send out their scam emails. I posted an ad for a car I want to sell on craigs list and received two different emails from these scam artists. |
Gina Missouri | 5:27pm on Monday, November 2nd, 2009 |
I too never received a kit,CD,nothing but was also charged $70.00. I finally reached someone on their toll free number for them to only argue that it is in the fine print that if not canceled within 7 days you will be charged. I wish I would have done my research. |
danette alabama | 2:01pm on Monday, November 2nd, 2009 |
I almost fell for this one! thank God for google! haha i googled the google kit and what do you know? i came up with this website with all sorts of people saying that its a scam! and i believe it now! i got really suspicious when i went to put the credit card number in! i wanted to know if it was real or not. thank y'all the information! i know not to believe everything i see on the internet now! |
Linda Farmer Brea, CA | 11:02am on Monday, November 2nd, 2009 |
Do not fall for this scam. It costs you $74.95 per month and that's before you even get any information. It is not simply $1.97 for S&H. DO NOT SUBSCRIBE TO THIS SCAM! |
nikki australia | 12:58am on Monday, November 2nd, 2009 |
hi guys...can anyone help me out.i have signed for this stupid thing, google internet kit..i even lost money..can anyone help me out with their working customer service number coz i have tried all numbers which i found here....really need help plzzzzzz |
Kristine Olympia | 10:44pm on Sunday, November 1st, 2009 |
here is the site that i found google biz kit at http://brit-job.com/
sounds real, thanks to site I didn't fall for this scam. there is even youtube videos about making lots of money. |
Chris Santa fe | 6:44pm on Saturday, October 31st, 2009 |
WARNING they steal your money!
I've closed my debit card and I'm filing a FRAUD report with the police
They hacked my business partner FACE BOOK account and misrepresented that he was recommending the service. I signed up then they refused to give me my money back THEY ARE THIEVES! |
Paul Maryland | 4:02pm on Saturday, October 31st, 2009 |
Yeah, but when you call to cancel they give you the run around. They don't let you cancel and still charge your card every month. I have reported them to the BBB. |
Faye KY | 11:43am on Saturday, October 31st, 2009 |
Well I too was looking for extra $$ to help with bills, holiday shopping etc, and got taken for $79+ and thankfully got that refunded, but in a few days got charged $35+ for different item, I didn't order, but I lost that bc it had been 2 days longer than 7 which is cutoff, they said it was canceled, but I didn't trust them so I went to my bank and canceled my card and put stop on any further withdrawals from my acct.
My bank too said that they were receiving numerous complaints from fellow customers, why don't they contact their customers when they see such charges that seem out of ordinary, guess they're just too busy (you reckon?) At anyrate, these scammers can't take anything else from me!
I urge all of you to go to Canadian and US BBB and file complaints using the info you have (if you have any ie., #800/type #'s even if you think they will have changed names and locations) and file complaints with them, US Attorney General, and any other entity out there that you can think of to complain to, besides these blog, and research sites (because while good help, they are basically venting sites)
We all have to stand up and stop these crooks in whatever means available to us.
To the gentleman who has a sick child with H1N1, and can't afford meds, etc, struggling to make ends meet, I hope everyone who has contributed complaints here, will promise to pray for you and others among us who are struggling to stand up under the financial pressure our govt., has inflicted and will continue to inflict on us until we make our voices heard and say we have had enough, we want our jobs to come home from the foreign fields, we want America to work for Americans again.
Sorry about the venting, but I'm righteously indignant, and as a Christian, who fell for a quick get rich scheme instead of trusting my loving and giving God to take care of me. From this point on, I am going to pray over each and every financial question and decision in my life. We live from paycheck to paycheck, but I plan on being a better steward of what He provides than ever doing something so foolish again.
Well, I won't continue any longer because I have much housework to do, after I spend devotional time with Him. God bless all of us, and let's pray that He will guide us through the short time we have left here on this earth. Trust me people, it is much shorter than most of you want to believe. Enough preaching for now, hope my words of encouragement have helped in some small way. |
sherry see malaysia | 5:20am on Saturday, October 31st, 2009 |
I have just been scammed. Instantly my credit card was debited twice for USD60-00 by one co. named JMH Media. I was so dumb and gullible to believe that that is from Google. For this I will learn to surf for details first before signing anything. Lucky my credit card bank authorization called to inform me.To hell with all these thieves.sigh....sigh....I dont think I will see my hard earned money back. |
Erica Blair UK | 1:28am on Saturday, October 31st, 2009 |
I gave them my details over the web and I've been charged every month since. This was 10 months ago. I called my credit card company and they said they can't stop it as they've checked and I agreed to it. I can't call USA on my phone (international calls are barred by my telco as I was having problems paying them; this is partly why I fell for this scam) so I wrote to them but no reply.
I said to my credit card company I'd cancel the card and I did but the debt still accumulates even though I haven't got the card no more.
I am a single parent with 6 kids aged 1-15. I am living on benefits only now and I am my wits' end. The kids' dads don't wanna know either.
Avoid this company. |

MUST READ THE FINE PRINT...
One the screen that asks for your credit card information, scroll down and read the DISCLAIMER at the bottom, it's designed not to be visible in the initial window. It tells you that agreeing to pay the S&H for the kit AUTOMATICALLY ENROLLS you in the Membership Program after a 3 day trial period (witch is about how long it takes for the kit to arrive at your address I should guess).
Don't fall for the hype of getting something for nothing. Be cautious and ALWAYS READ THE FINE PRINT!
Good luck out there. |
snovamp northeast usa | 1:22pm on Friday, October 30th, 2009 |
was charged .97 cents upon signing up and then was charged $79.90 after 7 days. I did not authorize this company to take the $79.90. I initially signed up for the google kit on the 19th of this month. I was charged $.97. This was supposed to be an internet kit using google for extra income. It turned out to be a web site with the same information that google gives you, only google gives you it free. I then noticed on the 26th of October the amount of $79.90 removed from my checking account. I then tried to call the company at 877-484-8016 and spoke with someone who I told to cancel it.. I told her I wanted my money back as I didn't authorize anything other than the $.97, to which she told me it was in the contract.. and basically, too bad.. I wasn't getting my money back. I am on disability and work part time and can't afford to have lost that money. Never again. |
Pam Michigan | 12:31pm on Friday, October 30th, 2009 |
I would not have bought into the scam but I was interested because I saw the word "google." So I googled "google kit" and found your site.
Thanks for the info! |
Dave Bristol UK | 11:54am on Friday, October 30th, 2009 |
So thankful that this site confirmed what I had suspected about the Home Business Kit Using Google. At least the internet can also help you access reviews from third parties about potential scams out there. This is the second time I have very nearly fallen for something. The scams are getting very clever, or are people in need of money very gullible?! I am surprised this scam hasn't surfaced on Watchdog in the UK. Maybe someone who's lost money should contact the BBC. |
Tim Ohio , USA | 9:59am on Friday, October 30th, 2009 |
I almost ordered this, i put my name and email in then when i got to credit card# i got suspicious, so i stopped and did a search and found this and stopped but, they got my email and now i am getting on the average of 30 spam emails a day...lol.
WHOA i almost fell for this !!!! BEWARE!!! BIG BIG BIG SCAM !!!! |
kolaida Texas | 3:44pm on Thursday, October 29th, 2009 |
Thanks for this. I ordered last night when I wasn't thinking clearly and today when I went back to the site it was no longer there. Not too mention, when I unsubscribed to the two free trial memberships they still signed me up anyway. So, I figured something was up, came here and promptly canceled my card because I sure as heck can't afford 79.90 a month!! Definitely not one of my better moments.
Thank you so much!! |
Paul Maryland | 3:10pm on Thursday, October 29th, 2009 |
Am I the only one who also gave up his social security number, bank routing number, drivers license, pretty much everything......had to put Fraud alert on with credit bureau and cancel credit card and change my bank account. What an idiot!!! |
eric Fremont | 2:32pm on Thursday, October 29th, 2009 |
I ALMOST fell for it. What stopped me was the fact that it was a pop-up and that the Fake newspaper article just so happened to be in a paper from Fremont. What are the odds of that, THE FREMONT HERALD..............which does not exist!!! They almost got me.....scum bags praying on the desperate. |
ds UK | 9:34am on Thursday, October 29th, 2009 |
Well I was taken in by it. I'm usually quite on the ball with these things but I've never had any problems with anything I've paid for online and I've bought lots of things! It never occurred to me to Google it because as I said, I've never had any problems before.
Everyone on here is saying "don't do it". Well, that's great if you haven't already done it, but when you have what you really want is for someone to tell you how to stop it. I don't really want to cancel my credit card but I will if I have to.
I was only taken in because I was about to be made redundant and I wanted something to tide me over and make a little money whilst still being at home ... doh! Advertisement |  |

tx sweetie Texas | 10:05pm on Wednesday, October 28th, 2009 |
I too got scammed just now. Paypal sent me notification telling about the recent purchase from CMI*InternetProfitHouse taking my money $68.53 after I purchase a google profit kit last October 12.
Geezz lazy butts why can't they have at least a little decency on themselves to work hard rather than scamming other people. I wish I can get my money back! |
Doll Phil | 9:13pm on Wednesday, October 28th, 2009 |
I too got scammed... Please help our house had been swept by tyhoon here in the Philippines, i thought this could help rebuild us but push us down in the mud... google please spare us... i cant contact their numbers... please somebody help |
Sherrie Tennessee | 12:23pm on Wednesday, October 28th, 2009 |
I too have got scammed! I knew better, but I thought $1.97 wasn't bad. Well, that same day I ordered it I found that it was a scam. I called them immediately to cancel. They said they canceled. Well, today i got charged $74.97. I tried calling them once again, no answer the first time, then it said hours are from 7 am to ?. This was at 9am. So I went to bank and canceled my card. So I get back and call the 1-866-293-0427, and I speak with Ashley?. She said it had been canceled and the $74.97 was credited to my account, I am still waiting, but I told her my account had been closed? Asked her if she was going to mail my check? This is such BS! She also gave me ref#! Going back to bank tomorrow and see what I can do? PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THIS! The name of the people that got my money was freeoponline.com. |
jeff portland, oregon | 11:55am on Wednesday, October 28th, 2009 |
I got good advice from a banker friend. To avoid further problems, tell bank you LOST card. Don't say anything about google scam. New card, new number can't get your money...screw their scam! |
D.B. NC,USA | 10:44am on Wednesday, October 28th, 2009 |
I hope they call me. I only gave them my phone number. I will let them hold it for ya all! I'm sure they will only call once! |
Ozzie Nodarse Miami, Florida | 8:50am on Wednesday, October 28th, 2009 |
They hit me good, my account was charge with 47.50 first, 99.00 second and 47.50 the third time, after i signed with them, i was so stupid , i had never trust in those easy money publicity, but economic crisis make me weak, i guess.i had to replace my bank account avoiding more charges. I am hoping that they have to spend my money in medicines and ill treatments. keep it always with you, " It's too good to be true" |
randy lancaster, ca | 1:48am on Wednesday, October 28th, 2009 |
i wonder why the FBI is not able to stop them? it is obvious that this is a fraud |
rachel london | 12:22am on Wednesday, October 28th, 2009 |
BIG BIG scam signed up for the £1.92 and yesterday went to the bank and they have taken out another £50.01 which i didn't authorize them to do (PWW*internet biz kit) Stay well clear of all of these sites |
lavinia mech pa | 11:36pm on Tuesday, October 27th, 2009 |
i fell for this rip off and when they bounced my account for 70 they sent me an email telling me i will have my refund in 7-10 days. i called after 10 days and they said it was actually 14 days. that was in the beginning of September and i am still trying to get my money back with no luck. i have resorted to calling their number every half hour every day until they return my money. it is a pain for me but i hope a bigger pain for them. i fell for this because they used an article of a mech man using it to supplement his income in the usa today. |
Junny NC | 10:46pm on Tuesday, October 27th, 2009 |
Thank God for this posting. I just had a surgery and was looking to do something at home. I was ready to click to order one just now but I am so thankful for all these comments on this site.
This is so wrong when so many of us are going through financial difficulties..... |
Suzanne Lightwater, Surrey, UK | 4:22pm on Tuesday, October 27th, 2009 |
I very nearly fell for this scam until the alarm bells started ringing. I'm in the UK and the advert I saw was supposedly from a female in the UK. The first warning sign was the cheque she "received" - it was in US dollars, and our currency is the British Pound. How on earth would I be able to bank that? Secondly, the terminology she used was geared up to American banks, definitely not British banks, which made me think that the female wasn't really in the UK. Then the light bulb went off, did a search for scams relating to internet home business kit..... and found this site. Phew! Oh, and I did read the small print at the bottom, and that was almost the last confirmation I needed that the whole thing is a scam - coming to this site is the final confirmation that the advert is a scam. Thank you for stopping me from parting with my hard-earned cash - those scammers will not benefit from me. |
sue Location unknown | 4:18pm on Tuesday, October 27th, 2009 |
Thanks for the heads up. I was looking to make extra cash for the holidays. But i guess the saying is true: if something sounds to good to be true is usually is!! |
Greg DollarSign Edmonds WA | 1:50pm on Tuesday, October 27th, 2009 |
Absolutely! This so-called newspaper ad just popped up on my computer and looked interesting as I'm unemployed. However, the first thing i did was "google" the product and was directed to this site. Dam scammers! That's what happens in a capitalistic amoral society. "Get Rich or Die Trying"..... |
vicki tennessee | 1:12pm on Tuesday, October 27th, 2009 |
I fell for it too. I thought I would cancel after looking at the kit, but since I never received it and forgot about it. I had biz kit and adsense and never received anything from either of them. Now disputing charges, I canceled after the charges were done so we'll see. Then I find another charge of $29.90 for some alternative funds place which apparently piggybacked on one of the other companies. One of those "free" trials with another company that I never received information about. Seems the best thing to do at this point is report my card lost. |
tony ireland | 12:01pm on Tuesday, October 27th, 2009 |
Please don't have anything to do with this scam.I was tempted by this ,but was suspicious so googled them and found this site.I think they may also get your card no from a health pill site that I was redirected to , acai or something of the like , mentioned on here earlier. |
penny alabama | 8:40pm on Monday, October 26th, 2009 |
THIS SCAM POPPED UP ON MY COMPUTER, THEN AFTER I READ IT, MY COMPUTER FROZE. WHEN MY COMPUTER CAME UP, I LOOKED FOR IT AGAIN AND FOUND THIS WEBSITE. THANK YOU. |
mark columbia | 4:10pm on Monday, October 26th, 2009  |
i also fell for the scam out of curiosity but thankfully paid with a prepaid card that only had 2 dollars left on it. I also got a call from a lady that came up on caller id as success story. she also started talking about a coach. |
Aaron WA | 3:15pm on Monday, October 26th, 2009 |
That was close. I can honestly say that I was almost taken in by this. The only reason I went looking for a scam review is that I called the 866 number in the Terms and Conditions, and it was "unavailable". Big clue.
Thanks for exposing this stuff. It is very frustrating to not be able to trust anything out there. Good luck everyone! |
Gevork Pasadena | 2:43am on Monday, October 26th, 2009 |
Oh no. I signed up for this kit. I need help now to get out, because I was deciding for weeks if this is a scam or not, but I guess I just got hooked into the fake offer. So HELLLPPPPP!!!!!!! |
Michael Georgia | 10:45am on Sunday, October 25th, 2009 |
When I came across the ad on Yahoo's web page I was in all honesty a bit intrigued. However, I long ago learned that when somebody is telling you that you can make these incredible amounts of money doing something so simple I need to be suspect of what they are saying. Therefore I've also learned to search for reviews and blogs concerning the suspect site/people. Consequently, as usual, I came across this site which clearly shows that I was right, it is to good to be true.
J Drayton I understand that reading the fine print, Term and conditions, is very important. But I would be willing to bet that you have been just a guilty of skimming over these documents as anybody. I did just that and missed it but I did some other research which lead me here and ultimately to a good out come, I didn't get fooled. I suggest that you reserve you opinion of other's failures and be helpful instead of being so critical. Just a thought. |
shanmuga bangalore | 3:27am on Sunday, October 25th, 2009 |
thanks for providing the right information about the scam. You have saved me time and money.
thanks for your kind help. |
Jen UK | 5:06pm on Friday, October 23rd, 2009 |
Thanks to this site, was about to sign for the Google Home Kit programme but decided to visit this site to check if they're scam. I could not believe the amount of people that fell for it, I'm just grateful to this site as i could have been a victim myself |
Nes Location unknown | 3:06pm on Friday, October 23rd, 2009 |
I today seen that I was charged $85 on 7th October, 2009. I immediately called them up and they said very boldly that it was written in their terms and conditions. I called visa customer care and they asked me to visit the local branch. So frustrating. |
Brian Chicago | 8:25am on Friday, October 23rd, 2009 |
I paid $2.97 for an internet biz kit with my VISA card. I thought it was suspicious, because after paying for the kit, I back-tracked but I could not locate the URL for business kit. WHOA !!!! Two days later when I was buying groceries at my Jewel
Foods Store, my VISA charge was rejected. Pissed, I called my VISA card services and they informed me there was unusual activity
and asked me if I recognized a pending $79.90 RECURRING MONTHLY CHARGE and a $2.97 charge for the kit. They asked if I thought it
was fraudulent. I said "yes I do". KA-BOOM!!---My VISA credit card was de-activated and a new card (with new numbers) was issued.
But good news the VISA card company was aware of this scam and provided the contact information to me. So I called PWW BIZ KIT at
1-800-497-4988 on 10-22-2009 and kindly requested that they cancel all charges. They agreed to do so and gave me a confirmation number. I went online and put in place a 90-day FRAUD ALERT immediately. |
DM Missouri | 9:00pm on Thursday, October 22nd, 2009 |
So glad i found this just called and canceled my card before they even got the 195 charged to it. I'm so happy for the internet! and honest ppl unlike the scammers!

It seems that the hosting company

I cannot believe they are getting away with this - does the BBB have anyone looking into them yet? If not, they should! |
T Wilkins | 8:46am on Thursday, October 22nd, 2009 |
The internet makes this hard to police but these people are dirty money hungry soulless animals with little thought or remorse for others. They take money from those that so obviously have little ( lets face it, rich people wouldn't look twice at these adverts ) and give nothing in return but false hopes. I have not submitted to this but I have a passionate hate for the beady eyed scavenging scum that prey on poorer people than themselves. I work in IT and I could set up an internet scam... but I wouldn't be able to live with myself. |
MrB UK | 11:11am on Wednesday, October 21st, 2009 |
Its time these scammers were scammed themselves, people/robots entering false data en mass, ideally it would crash the servers hosting them - if not it would surely take up their exploitative thieving time... |

In this day and time it is too hard for people as it is. The job market has tanked and people are starving,we are looking for real ways to earn an income, not making millions but just trying to get by. they should be ashamed. |

i had never heard of this company until my bank telephoned me asking if i would like a payment of £49.74 stopping since this is an account that is hardly used. Somehow this company has got my card details and i believe has also passed them onto a second. This is a absolute SCAM and i hope the people who run this SCAM get what is coming to them as its no less than they deserve!! |

Thankfully I read the small print, regarding google not endorsing it.. If it's too good to be true, then it is.. but I wonder why we still fall for it? |
ryan chicago | 11:05pm on Tuesday, October 20th, 2009 |
Don't fall for the "coaching" either....He wanted to know how much money i had on my credit cards and kept saying it takes money to make money. SCAM!!!!!don't fall for it people |

I got caught in this scam as well, cancel your credit card immediately.
Google home kit is a scam you signed up for it thinking you are only paying 1.97 for the trial next thing you know you have signed up for lot more companies linked to this scam each of them charging you credit card without your approval.
Best thing you should do to stop the charges is to cancel your credit card immediately and have the bank re-issue a new credit card, if you have legitimate balance pending in your credit card you closing they will transfer that legitimate balance to the new credit card.
I hope they get caught this is not right, this is robbing hard working people trying to find honest way to make money for living. |
Iris NYC | 12:29pm on Tuesday, October 20th, 2009 |
I too was just scammed out of $69.97 not once but twice! My bank is disputing the charges...but, i never got any literature, cd or anything! I think that this scam must be reported at a higher level! It is unfair to prey on anyone that is looking at a way to try and make money! They are horrible and should be penalized for this type of action! They claimed that I had 5 days to dispute this! If my bank does not support me on this...I will close my account too! I cannot believe that we live in a society where these companies can prey on us! |
Dana L DeVries USA | 10:20am on Tuesday, October 20th, 2009 |
I paid the $2.95 Shipping and handling charge for the Making Money with Google cd. A week later I had not received the cd but was charged $69.90. I called the company and they said they would not refund the amount. I put a dispute in with my bank and they refunded the amount back. BUT a few weeks later they sent me a letter stating that the transaction was validated because they had the 3#'s on the back of my debit card! I closed my account immediately! My son also had an account at the same bank and he's a minor so my name was on his...they are charging him for all this now! I just got off the phone with the bank and I cleared up my sons account and have to make pmts to the bank until the 69.90 is paid in full. I'd like to add that I never did receive a cd!!!
Last night they had this same scam on the nightly news! FYI...they stated that if you are thinking of doing something like this that is would be best to use a credit card than a bank card so easier to dispute! Just stop these individuals that are causing all this!!!!! |
Patricia Moran Pittsburgh, PA | 7:56am on Tuesday, October 20th, 2009 |
I was scammed by this bunch of crooks for $79 a month when they advertised that I could get a 'kit' and try it for $1.99. I read the privacy part and it said NOTHING about this "membership" costing $79 a month! They are GOOD scam artists and I didn't even receive a "kit"! I immediately canceled my card and took my loss. I wish these crooks would be caught and spend a few years in jail..as they deserve. Patricia |
Leena US | 12:32am on Tuesday, October 20th, 2009 |
Thank you very much for your postings.
I was very much interested in the Google work from home kit when that page opened up while browsing.
I am for short duration in US for work purpose.Thank you for saving me :-) |

I ALMOST bought into this "Too Good to be True"
But I learned many years ago to ALWAYS FIND & READ the very carefully crafted and usually well hidden FINE PRINT, RESEARCH, RESEARCH, RESEARCH & "Google" it.
I wonder how these guys are pulling this off using the "Google" trademark/name! I sure hope "Google" isn't condoning this!
Like so many have said before me...."If it sounds too Good to be True or Real....it usually is"!
Good luck everyone, there isn't any easy fast cash.....Ya Gotta Earn It, the old fashioned way...or win the lottery...& it's My turn for that one!!! |
Anonymous Location unknown | 3:40pm on Monday, October 19th, 2009 |
I signed up for this at 3:30 today and by 4 i knew they got me. I have been reading the post on here and i am having a heart attack.I called 2 contacts of mine at my bank and when i hear back from them i will let everyone know what the options are...if there are any. I e-mailed them to unsubscribe me and it got bounced back undeliverable. My husband is going to kill me when he finds out. Nothing is free but i forgot that somewhere along the way today. |
robert md | 12:07am on Monday, October 19th, 2009 |
hey everyone!
I tried the product, i really thought i was going to make money. " I was like i can't wait to make $5,000 a month" I never got the starter kit, plus they were taking $80.00 every 2 weeks with out me even authorizing it. I had to change my bank card number so they wouldn't take money. I managed to get a hold of them by phone but i didn't get none of my money back. It was a waste of time and money! The trick is that they take from 80.00 to 130.00 every two weeks top of that there banks are international so when they take money out from your account. Your bank charge you a huge fee!
I lost about almost $600.00 that i didn't have and that i really needed to pay my bills with. I know that the economy is really bad, but PLEASE DON'T TRY IT! |
Chelsea Indiana | 6:17pm on Sunday, October 18th, 2009 |
I was so excited when I read a blog talking about this. We could definitely use the extra money. I'm a very negative person so I figured it was too good to be true and it sure was. I googled "google biz kit scam" and this is the website I came too. I'm so glad I didn't sign up. |
kishore Dubai | 12:39pm on Sunday, October 18th, 2009 |
Dear Friends,
Kindly be aware of all such stupid Ads & Advertisements probing everyone to spend little to get more...Please remember...there is no free lunch in this world. I had been unfortunately a victim of this and realized soon because of all your great feedback and blocked my card and hopefully saved a fortune and more than anything not been shackled by this crunch....Take Care guys.... |
mathew waco | 4:46pm on Saturday, October 17th, 2009 |
whats the number to cancel?? i just ordered like half an hour ago . i only used my comm college debit card that only had a few bucks on it anyway. is there a chance they will still get a hold of more money. or will they just keep on calling me?? please help |
Sandy Charleston, SC | 12:10pm on Saturday, October 17th, 2009 |
Thank goodness I did my homework too and typed in: "google home income kit reviews scams" in the search engine. I was only minutes away from ordering this!
Thanks for your site! It saved me a big headache. I am so sorry to hear the people getting scammed. |
Steve Hedge Salisbury, U.K. | 8:26am on Saturday, October 17th, 2009 |
Nearly fell for it but read the Terms & Conditions just in time! That's where I saw the $70 monthly "membership charge". This is a scam. These people prey on the vulnerable & desperate. They will take anyone's money - they may get $1.97 to start with and the occasional $70 but think how this adds up if 1000's of people sign up. There's no such thing as a free lunch!! |
Jesse Canada | 10:29pm on Friday, October 16th, 2009 |
I almost got excited considering this came from a friend of mine on facebook telling everyone to check it out! |
Steve UK | 12:42pm on Friday, October 16th, 2009 |
Total scumbags. I thought I was pretty switched on but fell for this scam thinking it was Google's own product. Paid for the kit, then something triggered me into doing some internet research and found it to be a total scam. Canceled my Credit Card straight away rather than waste time & more money on the phone trying to cancel - hopefully this should be an end to it. |
Ed Long Beach, Ca | 11:57am on Friday, October 16th, 2009 |
It's pretty easy to tell this is fake because the phrase "They even shared their check with us!" is used in each online ad. Then they show the exact same check for 5,000 even though the articles were about several different people. Why can't Google sue these guys for using their logo? |
Heather Washington | 11:06am on Friday, October 16th, 2009 |
Not only are the terms and conditions very hard to find, but the program is very hard to understand, unless you are computer savvy. It is a big scam!!!! |
Sach NJ | 5:40pm on Thursday, October 15th, 2009 |
Guys -- Stay Away from this. It is a definite , very organized scam.
They give you 7 days trial. Just about 4 days when u start thinking that you are not understanding this, they will call u to re-generate your interest by saying will help you develop website step by step.
I started questioning the girl who called me and she got upset & very defensive & pretty much hang up the phone. This is when i realized that their idea is to have u for more than 7 days and get the 80 bucks & that's how they make their money.
BOTTOM LINE
DO NOT GET INTO THIS. |
Tim Chicago | 3:07pm on Thursday, October 15th, 2009 |
If you read the fine print on the bottom you will find this:
*Google™ does not endorse or sponsor this site and is in no way affiliated with Home Business Kit Using Google.
As well as a $79.95 monthly fee with NO REFUNDS!!! Big waste of money and time. You have been warned |
Kerri KS | 12:13pm on Thursday, October 15th, 2009 |
I recently sent away for the Google Biz kit.It clearly stated it was $1.97, I was billed an additional $79.90 without ever receiving the kit!They would not refund my money and should not be allowed to get away with this!
|
Sylvia Hawaii | 2:08am on Thursday, October 15th, 2009 |
I wrote a comment before.....but I felt inclined to write another one cause I am so mad! That company pww Internet Biz Kit that withdrew $69.80 from my checking account via my via debit card WITHOUT MY AUTHORIZATION!!!! SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN AND EVERYONE AFFILIATED WITH THAT COMPANY THROWN IN JAIL.....But not without paying back everyone they ripped off!!! How many are with me? |
Sylvia Hawaii | 1:14am on Thursday, October 15th, 2009 |
Guess what guys.....I did not even authorize these clowns to debit my credit card! I have no idea how they got my information. The only thing I can think of is that they are working with another company. The only thing I bought over the internet was these diet pills called "Acai Blast." If I pay for shipping and handling fee of 99 cents they will ship me a thirty day supply of the above listed item. That is the only thing I bought. I would never purchase a that one supposedly advertised. The say I found out was...I went to the bank to deposit my check and they told me that my checking account was overdrawn by $70.00. Needless to say that I was surprised. I asked the teller to give me info on why I was overdrawn and she told me that a company by the name of "PWW Internet Biz Wiz" had debited $69.80 from my checking account via my visa debit card. I disputed the charges and ask the teller for the info on the company "name and phone#). I tried calling, but to no avail. Anyway, I am going to get my money back from either my bank or that idiotic company (I think I am being nice...let me tell you, I have more creative adjectives that I could use to describe them, but I can't....I am a religious person). Anyway, I hope everyone is successful getting their money back. HEY....GO TO GOOGLE....TYPE IN "PWW INTERNET BIZ KIT" You will see many websites.....go to the one that says, "pww internet biz kit, scam, unauthorized withdrawal." show it to your bank. Maybe if your bank sees that this company is a scam, they will return your money to you. |
anonymous miami | 8:11pm on Wednesday, October 14th, 2009 |

marlene east coast | 6:40pm on Wednesday, October 14th, 2009 |
I fell for it , hook line and sinker.
I just tried calling 888-256-1248 and was told they do not represent Google Biz Kits and that my call must have been routed to them by accident. *sigh*
Trip to the bank tomorrow morning ASAP , I used my debit card , and I'm thinking a phone number change may be needed , I only ordered the stupid thing early this afternoon and have gotten 3 phone calls from them already.
~sigh~ |
Chris W NY, NY | 11:31am on Wednesday, October 14th, 2009 |
These guys are real pros. Not only do they scam your credit card and refuse your refund because of the "fine print", they sell your phone number to telemarketers so you get endless phone calls on top of it. I lost $80. plus my phone won't stop ringing and I'm just looking for a job. I thought the telemarketer was to confirm the internet order. My BAD. Just cancel as fast as you can. NEVER give anyone your credit card number. I thought I knew better. |

Etienne San Antonio | 8:08am on Wednesday, October 14th, 2009 |
I just realized that these people have been taking $79.90 from my credit card since August 09 2009. That is a total of $239.7 !!! . I never authorized this transaction and I want them to return the money to my account ASAP. I usually don`t check my credit card statement and thank God I did it yesterday.
What can I do to get my money back ? |
Kathryn Southern California | 6:16pm on Tuesday, October 13th, 2009 |
Wow! They almost got me too. I am trying to supplement our income and saw an article (yes article) on the MSN website. It looked to good to be true and it was. I couldn't wait to get started, that was until they asked for my credit card information. They are slick! |
Jennifer Washington, NC | 4:31pm on Tuesday, October 13th, 2009 |
I was actually interested in it and was about to sign up. However when some things sound to good to be true, it probably is so I typed it into Google and found this site. Now thanks to you guys I'll probably be saved. Thank you. |
Andrea Mount Prospect | 12:26pm on Tuesday, October 13th, 2009 |
It's a big scam. I just called their cust. service 800-497-4988 and I got at least half of my credit back. I was so stupid that I believed them!! I promise that I will do anything to let people know about the way how they work!!! |
R.T Hudgins North Carolina | 11:39am on Tuesday, October 13th, 2009 |
The Google Biz Kit is a scam and each state needs to trace Ip addresses back to these guys. Stay Away from these kits, they are a deceptive tactic. |
Don Tennessee | 11:31am on Tuesday, October 13th, 2009 |
I had this feeling so I googled. Should have done this first, I was wrong and signed up. Charged 1.97 but I have canceled my credit card. Hopefully no more charges. |
Anonymous unknown | 4:56pm on Monday, October 12th, 2009 |
I appreciate your knowledge! I was fixing to sign up for the Google home business kit but had reservations about using my bank card so I got a prepaid visa card but when I went to sign up they declined the card! Now I know why! Thank you for ya'lls help! |
Demi Astoria | 2:32pm on Monday, October 12th, 2009 |
DO NOT BUY CLICK ANYTHING! ITS A SCAM!!! THEY KEEP CHARGING MY CARD NUMEROUS AMOUNTS OF TIMES THEY ACT AS IF THEY ARE AFFILIATED WITH GOOGLE BUT THEY ARE NOT- THEY CALL AND HARASS YOU EVERYDAY & THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE IS IN INDIA AND CANT EVEN SPEAK ENGLISH |
raaz London | 11:47am on Monday, October 12th, 2009 |
this is a good website that helps people avoid losing their money and being preyed on by those animals. |
Robin Wisconsin | 11:22am on Monday, October 12th, 2009 |
I almost fell for this scam!! I started filling out the form, filled in my name, email, & phone number. Went to the next page, and they were asking for more information that included my CC #. For some reason I just sat here looking at the screen and then started asking myself, why do they want my CC information just for shipping and handling??? Then I started thinking that I REALLY don't like the idea of giving this kind of info out over the internet, especially when something just doesn't FEEL right. Then I decided to do a search on these people, I typed in the search "is Google Biz a scam" and this is the first place it took me to. I immediately shut that scamming website down and gave no info at all, other than my name and phone number. Now I dare them to call me, they may not like what I have to say to them. I hate people who scams others for what little they have to begin with. I don't even consider them as people, they are absolutely IN-HUMAN and should be sooo ashamed of themselves.
I want to say THANK YOU to all websites like this one, (even the ones I don't know about) that exposes these low life scammers for who and what they really are. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!! |
Denise U.K. | 10:32am on Monday, October 12th, 2009 |
I always thought I was a fairly smart person and when I saw an ad on Face book I clicked it. Guess where I went? To an article about this very thing. The fine print on mine said:
After the 7 day trial you will be billed £79.90 monthly for the continued access to the Business Kit for Google.
Yes it is here in the U.K. too. I decided to google it and bam I found this. Whew! I am sick to death of scams online. You really can not trust anything anymore.
Now I will goggle everything before signing up to anything. |
K MI | 10:51pm on Sunday, October 11th, 2009 |
Guys... the easiest way to figure out if the websites that advocate such kind of businesses is to just click on all the different links. You will see that they all take you to the same webpage ( Yes, the one that asks you to sign up.. LOL) |
Andrew Scotland | 6:25pm on Sunday, October 11th, 2009 |
I was about to sign up for one of these sites when I noticed the print at the bottom of the page said "Google does not support or endorse this program" or something of the sort. Of course, this sent alarm bells ringing, as the rest of the site had been saying that you would receive a cheque from Google every week! If they didn't endorse it, why would they pay me to use it?! So I did a little research, I can't believe I was almost setting myself up to pay $70 a month! That's ridiculous! |
