This is general advice for anyone who has had dealings with blazingkeywords.com.
This outfit runs a multiple scam which initially gets you to purchase a Kit costing just $1.97 which supposedly shows you how to make good money posting Google links on websites. They get your Credit or Debit Card details online for this purchase but you receive no kit.
They then use various company identities to fraudulently withdraw money from your bank account.
These appear on your bank statement as follows with a toll-free phone number and the amount usually withdrawn: - lt;br /
888-249-2354 Inquire Financial - $72.71
888-204-5967 Credit-4-Me - $29.90
877-851-4063 Online-Search-Help - $72.21
877-208-5903 Daily Grant - $38.34
My research shows that for some reason everyone gets ripped off for the same amount depending on the trading name used. The scam is not restricted to within the USA - I have been hit by all FOUR above and am resident in the United Kingdom. Attempts to call these numbers usually result (in a foreign accent) that they have nothing to do with these companies - which may be true. It has also been suggested that these scammers actually operate from
Outwith the USA.
What to do - if you notice any of these transactions on your statement or have responded to the $1.97 offer giving your card details, notify your bank/card supplier (Credit or Debit) immediately and tell them to cancel it and issue a new one. You should ensure first to withdraw sufficient funds to tide you over as the replacement may take a week or so before you can
Use your new card.
Ask the bank/card supplier to investigate the bogus withdrawals as you did not authorise them, which should give you a chance of being refunded, and also help to build a dossier on this scam.
You may also wish to notify the Police as the more complaints they receive the greater the chance these
Criminals will be caught.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE do not be embarassed about being caught out - you are certainly not alone.
With the easy transferance of currencies using cards this may well be a world-wide scam.
I wish you good luck and let's get these scumbags.
